Once the Adult Internet adopted the business plan of giving away free content to get surfers to view free sites, so some would buy porn and spend more on this than on often everything else combined, the route to today was set.
It was teaching people a bad precedent, that porn is free. however I see why they did it. Even in 200 people selling porn were saying "Why does anyone buy, when so much is available for free?"
The only thing that held the system in check was hosting and BW costs. We all knew that unless a gallery and tour were good, BW costs on a gallery on a major TGP site could cost more than it made. When advertising a product costs more than it returns, then it's a sign something is wrong. Unless the product is real crap. Then few will sit and view the free images.
Still the ladder was placed in front of us and we happily climbed it.
It began with 10 images on a gallery and the top of the ladder is whole sites being given away. OK that's pirated content, so let's for a moment be dreamers and dream that tomorrow piracy online disappears.
99% of those pirating will end up on Tubes. In fact dreaming 1-100 will suddenly switch to buying is dreaming as well. Robbie might find a small increase in sales, as he has Claudia Marie and if she is exceptional she might pull in a few buyers.
For most here they don't have a unique product. They have the same stuff being given away for free on Tubes. Very few sites have a great product, very few have a unique product.
Is that because the industry was too complacent 5-10 years ago when seemingly money was slushing into online porn. Or was it slushing out just as fast to pay affiliates?
I find it ironic that someone who made so much money giving porn away is now complaining too much is being given away.
This is very very true.

Just fucking with you...it's just that I'm jaded after reading GFY for years and seeing posters come on here with vague descriptions of themselves with nothing to back it up.

100s here talk the talk and with no proof.
Been here for years bud. But spent my time diversifying, evolving and now laughing at the lot of u"
No one has diversified and evolved in online porn. They just copied what has been done before. Or invented better ways to give away free porn.
Proof or it leaves us thinking OH YEAH????
