But there will always be criminals in mainstream and adult biz.

I think those holding onto their niches well and running their sites good will be okay. Domain names are becoming less important as people live on social networks, and yet archives of good porn will always sell.
We bring extra regulations on ourselves. Remember the culling when CB were reduced to 1%?

The short sightedness of many in this business has led us to where we are today.

It's cost online porn $billions. Truly.

Porn buyers are a small % of the male population 1%-2% in the good days.

Fuck them over year after year and that % drops then plummets.

Cross sales, card banging, fake pills, fake dating sites, hiding cancel buttons, ignoring customers, selling crap sites, spamming members with porn emails that their family might read. Even trading them from TGP to TGP or now Tube to Tube.

Treat customers like crap and they might stop being customers. Did I say might?

And for everyone one of the sites doing the ripping off, there were 20, 50, 100, etc. Sending them traffic to earn a quick buck. When you see the level of intelligence of some (cough ** sparrow) you understand why it happened.
