Squirtit. Let's face it most Tube sites are STILL one man bands and will always be one man bands. The reasons are simple.

How much full length scenes does it take to get the massive traffic the top division have built over the years.

How much money will be made from advertising during the time building the traffic.

And will it cover the hosting bill?

I would estimate that it would need a dedicated server and the cost would be high for the BW at the start. As the traffic grows, then the price gets better. Or invest in at least 2 servers and take a deal that will allow you to use more BW than you burn and invest the money until the traffic starts to STICK.

Getting and keeping traffic with 3-5 minute clips only isn't going to cut it. People want 20 minute clips.

Then ratios plummet.

So you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

If I were Fabian I wouldn't bother to threaten AK, I would let him know what the investment is to go into competition with Pornhub.

SmokeyTheBear, is nearly right.

I can find the 7000 pound elephant. Can you afford to feed it?

If you could you would have a 7000 pound elephant. Knowing the problem and answer is the easy part. Affording it isn't.
