People don't go to RedBox because it's an "established brand" they go because they can rent a DVD for $1 and Blockbuster wants $4.

Oh by the way 15 months ago you could have bought Netflix stock for $25 now it sells for $200.
the only people who didnt think they would succeed are probably blockbuster and people who had no idea about the internet. im gonna miss blockbuster honestly.

if my memory servers me well redbox is like auto drop off? im not 100% sure.

ill kind of summarize my point.

basically people in porn are there for the in and out, netflix knows people will rent movies longterm especially with convenience.

finding that balance knowing people are there for the in and out and some for the longterm is a very hard balance.

how about this one:
you have a "tube" site, and you get people to the "money shots", or the horniest shots, then you show like a "bandwidth problem". then sell people the "bandwidth" that just really removes a light box for $7.99.

the conventional methods and price point dont apply to porn as much, i was merely talking about devaluing an already devalued product which is pointless imo.
