Te future of this business, and commerce, is about CHOICE.
Yes clips4sale is a success, not sure about other sites trying to copy them because we never had the time to look into them. And that's the crunch. Is clips4sales a success and other clip sites a failure?

If so why?

This is the problem. People see a successful site or sponsor and try to copy it. For instance Lightspeed with the solo girl market. So many thought all they had to do was find a cute looking teen, shoot 40 scenes in 7-8 days and then drive traffic to it. And the market crashed because most of the girls were not good enough. The guys into this type of content were slowly turned off because the product over all was not good enough.

Seen this repeated over and over again in so many niches.

Tubes are getting our traffic because the customers choose to go to them.
