yes damage has been done by tubes, file sharing, mediocre economy etc. but as black crayon stated very accurately "people want variety and they don't want to join a ton of sites to get it."
this is why the VOD model still works very well. it is the ultimate in variety, no paysite can match it and furthermore you don't have to JOIN anything. no membership fees, you just pay for what you want and watch it when you want to watch it.
that is freedom and diversity and its selling nicely.
any good VOD site like Moviedollars, AEBN, Gamelink etc will have something illegal tubes and file sharing douchebags do not have...constant NEW variety.
there is no tube or file sharing site on the planet which can keep up with the amount of new vids being released on VOD and millions of surfers know this.
Not only that, the surfers are quite aware by now that they do not want to put up with the malware and virus bullshit (not to mention spam) they have to wade thru with tubes and torrents.
okay i digressed a little, but my end point is that even though the online adult industry is hurting now, its far from being "phased out."

The purpose of my thread is not to argue if the selling of pornsite memberships is still gonna be enough to put food on the table in a year or not. If you think it is keep doing what your doing. Maybe all these threads of late of disapearing sponsors and guys not getting paid are fake drama threads? You CANNOT stop the damn from bursting. Sure you can plug a leak here, plug a new leak there, but sooner or later there's gonna be too many holes to plug and it's simply gonna break.
XXXJay recent changes where he is giving away the first few minutes of his movies is smart and should make some money for the short term, but he's a smart man and surely he realizes that this is just a temporary plug of a leak that is relentless.
