If an Alexa top 20 website was streaming Louis C.K's video, his method wouldn't work at all. Even the most honest person wouldn't finish watching a free version of his video then go buy the paid version, especially if when they searched for it, the free streaming version was number one in all the search engines.
If porn wasn't streaming in nearly 10 of the Alexa top 100 websites, some of the things you guys are talking about might work. But porn will require something totally different that has yet to be invented or thought of.
I'm NOT defending the current porn business model as it is obviously flawed, I'm just saying that mainstream ideas such as the one by Louis CK don't really compare.
Same with Hollywood movies, if several Alexa top 20 websites were streaming full television shows and movies, Netflix would go out of business in a few weeks.

100% spot on. Eradicate piracy and Tubes get the traffic.

So contribute something other than the usual flame. Assuming you have anything to contribute.
Whether we like it or not 99.99% or even a bigger % of porn consumers are telling you one thing. We're simply not competing with the free model.
clips4sale, PPV, or any other models are not working well enough to continue to support the industry I knew. And unless we can come up with something that Pornhub can't give away, can't be pirated and can be afforded. The industry will continue to shrink.
Candyflip and others may not like me saying that, doesn't make the truth wrong. Naturally a few will come in and tell us how well they're doing. Without posting any real proof. The evidence is all around us.
I'm just glad I made my money when porn was shrink wrapped.
