I was going to write something in detail, but I got bored, so will keep it short and sweet: no matter what reality is, no matter how you subjectively perceive it, the whole point is what are you going to do about reality. I think tubes will kill themselves, and in a relatively short time. However, for that time, they're here to stay and in the meanwhile they'll kill everyone else. So, what are you going to do about it? Cry? Bitch? Complain on GFY?
At least these thread bring out the creative flow, but to be honest they're getting kinda annoying. Tubes are hell. Granted. Tubes are evil and will kill the business as we know/knew it. Granted. SO?
Seriously, you really, really, REALLY need to think on how to compete. Most medium to big paysites have enough resources to cover the tubes losses and then some more, however, very few people can see 10 inches further.
Just think on the REALLY BIG LIST of things tubes can't offer right now, and build from there. I mean, I can name no less than 50 tools you can use in your paysites that tubes can't do (although they may adapt and do it before you even realize it because you're busy crying and complaining). Bottom line, you can even use tubes for your own profit. Conditions are set for those with 2 connecting braincells (and some resources) to take the lion's part and make even more money than ever.
Just stop crying, the tears aren't letting you see the paths... besides, as much as you cry, you won't solve anything
That's it, I'm tired and going to sleep
PS: To Gideongallery: when you talk about Q ratio you're talking about Tobin's Q ratio formula? because if so, I really don't get how it relates to this issue, unless stock markets plays a role in this situation, which might be, but I don't think this is the specific case.
PS2: since I'm in a good mood, here's a hint: etary groups. Do whatever you want with it

Not too much to say on my side, I admit it. I was tired and really amazed/outraged on some things that were said in that thread. 6 pages of CRYING AND NONSENSE and still growing. 6 pages which contains data and people trying to justify data (I mean like in OBJECTIVE NUMBERS) with absurd perceptions about why objectivity is subjective, or in other words, why "reality isn't happening"!
Well, guess what: IT'S HAPPENING. Hide your head in the sand if you want and get fucked in the ass in the process. But pretty, pretty, pretty please: STOP CRYING! If you chose to DO NOTHING, you're free to do it, just don't complain because you don't want to face reality.
If you didn't stop to think yet, start right now. Be creative, think outside the box. If you need help, get it. If you gotta pay for it, PAY IT (it will be less than what you already lost for sure, and much less than all what you will lose). If you need to take a weekend with other webmasters to the sole purpose of discussing strategies and/or network, DO IT.
Now, if you think the adult content delivery is limited to what you were doing for the last 15 years... well, you're so totally wrong and off base it's not even funny. Magazines are disappearing, and so will you if you persist on the same path. If you think the word marketing means "buy beers and post at GFY", well... you're getting what you deserve. Things have changed, like it or not.
If you took a big uppercut in your jaw, it's pretty understandable if you take some time to get yourself together. But after that, stand up and fight or run your way home, but pretty, pretty, pretty please: JUST STOP CRYING!!!!
