the article also stated that one way to compete against free is on quality and/or features. however one network or paysite cannot compete with a tube site that has thousands of videos in a wide range of categories. when faced with the choice between paying for a quality site and not spending the money, 99% of customers will choose to keep their money in their wallet. that leaves all program owners competing for the very small number of customers with unlimited discretionary income.

and in a recession that results in a lot of hungry site owners..
