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
What I don't understand though is how getting a 20-30% cut of your full scene content under this is any better than getting a 50-60% (tracking problems and other things) cut of your short promo clips from affiliates?

To be honest paysite sales are so bad now due to all the piracy and people giving away full scene stuff that I make a majority of my revenue from cams and dating. That started last year.
