Well, this discussion is just getting started.
Barefootsies has made some very good points and I fully agree that the tube sites have killed the paysites, most of them. Today's savvy surfer searches for porn video tube rather that just porn video and ends up on one of the tube with over a thousand free videos....incredible variety to choose from...no need to download....just mouse over or click for a quick previoew and select from thousands other similar clips. And from hundreds of such tube sites. FREE !!
Of couse some paysites will survive but the writing is on the wall. These tube sites are attracting surfers by the thousands per hour and effectively waeaning them away from paysites whcih are begining to look a bit dated anyways.
Do a search on blacklabel ads or adengage and almost all sites at top in terms of daily surfers are tube sites.
So instead of fighting the current it may be better to ride it....create tube sites with very very little free content but give the users an option to buy and enjoy thousands upon thousands of videos in members area. For eve more charges offer HD content and for a little more they can download the clips as well.
The free tube sites will stay around as well as long as they can monetize the traffic which thanks to mushrooming of ad companies is only going to increase. However a user who sees something specific in a pay tube site will happily pay as long as he can see clearly what he is getting and as long as he does not get it free
