One danger though is that I couild set up a site with 1 million vids andcharge $10, and you can set up a site with 10 vids and charge $15. But both sites look the same.

If customer joins site b he feels let down and probably thinks site a is as bad.

thats the big problem.

in the real world is shop a lets you down but shop b is great people will post on forums and blogs, but its unlikly they will about porn sites.

lets face it, most of those saying a pornsite is good on a forum, is thje forum owner or affiliate trying to get sales.
Scared you wouldn't make it?

Every site getting 2-3 sign ups a day is taking 2-3 away from the ones who are better than them. The customers are spending money on a product that isn't good enough. They get put off from buying. This leads to less sales.

Too many affiliates leads to sponsors main job being selling to affiliates and not customers. When the number one tool for driving traffic is free porn. IT HAS BECOME, the ones who give away the most free content as the winners. Except the elite who looked to the customer first.

Sure you can argue that they are screwing It cause they make more sites available but what does that matter if practically no one sees the sites?
Yes it was easier getting into online porn then than getting into offline porn. Still it was hard. You either had to buy content from people like me and we were pricey, or Zmasters, or but a camera and start shooting. Even affiliates had to buy content. Then someone had the great idea of giving them content.

Which everyone copied.

Then it became clear everyone was submitting the same content to the TGP sites. And to keep affiliates happy they had to shoot exclusive, which they couldn't afford to spend the right money for. So they were buying in lots of cheap sets shot by people who had just bought a digital camera and prepared to work for peanuts. But it kept affiliates happy.

Now people tell us Niche is the future. Because mainstream is saturated.

No surprise the poll is evening up. With people who couldn't climb over the bar. LOL
