You can get Porn for free and you can find just about anything you want with a little bit of Surfing, and most surfers do just that.
Now, I'm not saying the business has gone away. I've been in this game since 95' I've seen it all. People still buy porn, Our AVS sites still do some decent numbers, we do credit card processing, I see what people pay for, they are definitely paying!!!
This week we are seeing the highest numbers ever for our new Cams Site that's been up and running for about a year now. That tells me something, people are still willing to whip out their credit cards. BUT!!!. It's nothing like it used to be and if anyone is telling you they are making the same amount they used to or more from back in the day, they are lying.
Keep your overhead low, stay in business and when all the Tube sites fade away, you will be at the right place at the right time.
Content theft is straight out Crime, and these tube sites killed our industry with our own content. It's ridicules.
Stay positive!

I agree. Part of my original point if we had all been better businessmen we would have never let that happen. I'm just as guilty.
The Gay market is a really interesting example. The large gay studios are suing the shit out of tube sites. And they are having relatively good success at keeping their content off it. The general feeling amongst Gay Tube sites is you don't want to fuck with the Gay Studios. As a result our numbers on GayTube are SICK! As an example we put up one video of a site and got 65+ signups on the first day to that site. I believe we got 45 on the second day. And I'm not talking free signups either.
