Once i've done that enough, i'll just start buying sites to advertise on at an immense loss and then buy pornhub. Because Paul said thats how it works.

He would quite literally be the worst cult leader ever.

There would be the worst story, using the worst imaginable logic.

Even insane people would be like "Paul, i'm sorry to say this but i'm gonna have to head over to the Heavens Gate cult where they believe an alien ship is hiding in the tail of the Hale Bop Comet... and kill myself so they will take me off this planet... because quite frankly, they are making much more sense then you are"
Your problem is you can only see inside your bubble, even though it's transparent. Then reply with illogical arguments.

Your knowledge of how Tubes work is restricted to your traffic buying, your ads, your sponsors, your commission and your opinion. You don't know how a company like Diesel will fair on Tubes. You even think advertising companies only advertise to an audience looking for their product. So let me educate you.

Target Market, men who wear pants.
The audience, men who wear pants, if not at the time of viewing. Tubes have a better target market than a soccer crowd.

Cost. Peanuts.
Consumer reaction will be judged later.
Media Reaction. All is good for a company that advertises like Diesel and considered edgy.

The number of people who see the ad are the same as those who see yours. Your ads are 100% dependent on someone clicking and buying at the time. Theirs isn't, in fact, it doesn't matter if they buy at the time, it's the image that counts.
