So when people get all this free content they don't feel so bad.
I understand fully and few others do. We had 3 tiers of sales, magazines, content stores and paysites. In that order. It would of been suicide for us to waste time shooting cheap content for others and a very risky gamble of going the paysite route 100%. still that doesn't fit the argument of others so they will ignore it.

As for screwing members, we screw each other so why not members as well? Shaving is the prime example and there are others. Online porn is good at screwing each other, screwing punters by cross sales to pay over the top PPS is just another trick in the scamming bible. How many questioned how a site could afford to pay such high PPS payments?

Selling a site as what it's not, is par for the course. Adding a little bit is fine, straight lying to a surfer ended us with surfers who trust Pornhub more than they trust paysites.
