As for the movie reference this is an excellent way to show how the stories stay the the same and all that changes is the actors locations and technology.
How ever scenes have to be distinguishable. Once they all merge into one they are boring, but ry getting people to spend the money on content that's different enough to enthrall the customer and you soon see why so much is the same.
It does not need to be unique and changed every day. It needs to be shot by people who understand the niche, know how to shoot, can direct models and have a budget to allow them to create good content.
Free porn is not to blame and you're spot on there. This industries lack of a response to free porn is.
Once a guy is in a porn clip site, Tube, TGP or anything porn related the impulse is to buy porn is gone. He's in the shop.  It's now an impulse on what porn he buys. This business relies 90% on regular buyers. If it were impulse buys the impulse would soon be crushed once he joined a site that failed to meet his needs. I'm sure a lot of sales have been lost this way but not the regular buyers, until we completely piss him off. |

I would have thought in your 200 years on this planet, you would have grasped the concept of the steps involved in a sales, or conversion, cycle. It is not as simple as you lament. Simple marketing, and psychology reinforce this.
It is no wonder that a lot of people in this industry either completely fail, or are having a hard time in this famine economy.... You look at your customers as pea brained apes who have no choice, or original thought in the matter. They are just there to see some tits with credit card in hand, and are happy to have been graced by your site and content.
They are just surfing the web for porn daily, and then get to your site, see tits and momba womba as if in a trace, pull out their credit cards. Get hit with their 12 different cross sales. Enjoy your 50 scene pay site that has not been updated since 2001. They send you some email, you do not answer. Refuse to cancel their subscriptions. Then sell them, and their information off to the next porn company for $0.50.
Fucking Christ.
