For 12 years we put the affiliates interests before the customers. We didn't even want customers in shows, as they might tell us something. But pouring booze down any affiliates neck, or even me who would never promote a site, was cool.

We had the upper hand until 2007/8. Then Tubes really took off and after 10/11 years of buying online porn we hadn't built anything that would compete.

Most porn online today is bland. The sites lack identity, character and personality. They just get a model in and add more to the pile of models they already have, that's the ones that are adding.

You all know my thoughts on content, so no more on this.

As the BW and hosting costs plummeted, did we give the members a better deal, a better product. Or did we just give out more free porn?

Are new ideas coming forward, are sites doing something different?

While customers move to Tubes in increasing numbers, rejecting HD, we still think shooting the same old crap but on a HD camera will bring them back, after 3 years of losing customers that's sad.

We need to rethink the product and work out how to pay for it.

You reap what you sow.
