Using his analogy, changing it to the grocer instead of restaurant and applying it to online adult. The problem is clear.

His analogy works perfectly if there's only one grocer in town. When every other shop is a grocer, who do you buy from?

If they're all selling much the same, price becomes the most important factor. If 99 of the grocers care little about the product and ones cares a lot to get a great product, then quality becomes an important issue.

In online porn there's 1,000s of places to buy from and 1,000s of places to get it for free.

So what's left other than just sending more/better traffic to a site?

Is the only option to offer a better quality quality product. To care about the farmer, meet his needs, give him the tools and money he needs to produce a better product and instead of just stacking the potatoes in a big bin. Offer something more to the shopper. Like advice how to cook the potatoes or recipes. Or a real live person who will talk to shoppers.

When buying potatoes, convenience is paramount for many. so we shop at a supermarket. Nothing is more convenient than getting free porn from a Tube site. We need to up our game in a different area than just better/more traffic. We've been doing that for years and if we aren't at the peak of our abilities today, we never will be.

It's time to apply the thinking to another angle.
