Those players that support them are in our industry. Blacklist them are we might have a chance.

Smartest thing I've read so far. Yeah I understand your making some profit from these tube sites, and yes I realize I haven't been in this industry as long as some of you, and even as a late comer I came in with the same build idea as many have done before. However with my fresh perspective I quickly realized that the current system was not working, how could it work when everything you was being provided for free. Not only is everything you sell being provided for free, but everything you sell is being provided for free by the people who advertise for you! The FHG's are not what I'm talking about here, but you can do a search and find thousands of sites that say on the side, "Join XXX pay site now only 30 bucks and see this whole set" in a banner, when it's right beside the whole set for free! Oh look at that, I guess I'm going to go with the free! Sure your getting sales now, but what about when they have everything.
The internet isn't about you and the cloud anymore, its about you and the millions of other people on the cloud, and a simple comments box on the bottom of each scene isn't exactly going to cut it. For that matter, I haven't even been in a chat room since 2003.
In this regards, and in my limited opinion webcam sites are rocking out there. The reason being is the interactivity. You can talk with the models, they talk to you, you can ask them to do things, they get happy when you tip them! That's the key right there isn't it... go ahead, make php happy when they buy a membership. Make your html smile and thank them with a sexy grin. You can't but those models can. This is the interactivity that the adult industry needs now. It's not a set it up and leave occupation anymore.
I am sad that I didn't get to see the hayday of the adult industry online, but I honestly see a new, more structured one coming, one where the profits may be even bigger than in the past, but constant, with people always coming back for more. Many sites will be lost in this, hell I'm not unrealistic, I may be back on the consumer side, but it will happen, and I hope sites are willing to adapt.
Good luck everyone, we're all going to need it!
