Yet for some the best game in town for some.

Johnny Traffic said on another board that the Internet allowed direct access for te producer to the consumer. That situation for most lasted a few years. Today there is no direct access to the customer for most sites. Because affiliates are in between.

Manwin have to some extent gone direct. And a few others partly. Yet still the wall of affiliates between the producer and the customer remains. That wall costs billions of dollars in lost revenue to affiliates and from free porn. We have free porn and the consumer is well taught to expect it.

So is this the nub of an idea to take a step up?

Do away with affiliates, Set up huge legal Tube sites containing producers content, with links to buy the scene for cents or a dollar and a link to the site to join for a price that removes the affiliate?

No 50%-70%, no high PPS, no support, no advertising, no marketing to affiliates reduce the price accordingly. Let the consumer get a real taste of what the site contains, he's buying the Hi Res version or access to the whole site. For half the normal price.

I will now duck low because all the affiliates will scream and rubbish the idea.

I'm off to
