We've been fucking over the customers for 12 years and maybe more. Now can't figure out why they are so hard to get off free porn. Is it really any wonder this game is shrinking?

Tubes are not a game changer. They are another logical step in the process of giving out free porn. It's only now after 12 years of fucking over the customers, Tubes are so much better for customers.
This is a guess as I asked on another board about conversion figures on a Tube, surfers to sign up, and never got an answer. However
TGP Galleries could get 500 surfers hit them, 100 click the links and 1 buy. That's a conversion rate of 1-500.
Tubes from what I read convert on banner clicks 1-5,000. We had a lot of content on a big Tube site and though we got lots of views, good votes in the poll. The link
See More of Paul Markham Teens converted at 1-25,000. The vast majority clicked back the moment they knew it was a link to a paysite.
Do the maths. Yes the Internet brought porn to millions who could never find it before. But the TGP figures prove most were just free viewers from day 1.
And we did our utmost to make sure they never
needed to buy. Even at 100 gallery views and 1 sale. We were losing out to 99% of our potential customer base. And we called it "Internet Marketing" and felt superior because offline porn never understood it.
We had people standing in a line, to a bar selling water, in the middle of a desert. And hosed them down with free water.
