I am posting this way since simply put I'm tired of hearing the same shit over and over again, the same unproven accusations and so on.
Your clients might all be from 1997, but so am I. I have a different opinion than your clients. First of all, simply because YouPorn was there long before PornHub, so I am a bit confused as to why PornHub is the evil one... But mainly really this is simply about the fact that noone can prove that its the tubes fault, it simply is the easy solution to a problem which, other than tubes, has solutions which make your clients look much worse than if they simply blame the tubes.
The factors for your so called decline (which is no decline, just a remix of the people that make the money, I honestly think this is the case) in my opinion are:
- Piracy (small factor in my opinion, if anything it slowed the growth down, if it even caused anything to that effect)
- Over saturation of the market
- Bad billing practices
- Low quality content (I'm wondering, how much does a scene cost you?)
- General laziness
People do not spend 50% more on porn because there is 50% more paysites out there. If you add 50% more paysites, the bad ones drop out, the good ones get more sales.. that's just how this whole thing called "the economy" works.

interesting comment. I think over saturation is a big part. I knew this was coming down the pipe. I was taught that when a biz makes money, more and more people enter the biz until the biz no longer makes money.
I had a client tell me a few years ago that the 'mom and pop' content producers would probably disappearas well, with the content being produced by large 'entities'. that could still happen and as far as membership sites go I see this as the car manufactures from the early 1900's. all bought up between a few larger companies or merging with some disappearing. life moves on.
BTW: pretty sure the people I shoot for don't suffer from bad billing practices or laziness or low quality. and not considering 'free' full length videos on the tubes a 'factor' is an interesting thought as well. I sell scenes, I don't buy them and the cost has dropped to a more 'normalized' rate..
well have fun swatting fire flies here at GFY
