I've seen a few folks with that theory that the people on tubes like Pornhub would never buy a membership even if piracy wasn't going on like it is.
I disagree with that strongly. Not every last one of them would buy a membership of course...because the majority of them are probably 15 years old.
But the ones who have credit cards WERE our customers and then it was up to clever marketing to entice them to buy (just like any other business).
And the 15 year olds who are now at Pornhub...well, they used to be at our TGP's and when they got old enough to finally have a credit card they were damn tired of a few pics and 15 second shitty clips and were ready to get behind the velvet rope and buy a premium membership.
That's how free sites USED to market. And it was so damn successful it was ridiculous. But now those 15 years olds are being trained to never join.
But back to your statement on people who would "never buy".
I have to say that my stats and bank account since the mid-1990's doesn't bear that out. A LOT of people were buying.
And it's so bad now that when I tell people I am in the porn business they invariably say: "I didn't know people still PAID for that"
Damn that pisses me off when they say that! lol
