Sad to see that almost nobody got the point of the thread.

I think you are wrong and that something else is wrong, and you blame it on the tubes.
For example: the clips you cut might be shit. Too short, too long, too LQ too HQ who knows. But if you can't convert it it is YOUR fault.
I'm doing fine too with tubes.

But getting an average of $3000-4000 usd/month including signups, cams and cross-sales isn't what I call "making a fortune".

When the top technology of 33.6 Kbaud modems forced the average user to wait 30 seconds to watch a picture it was enough to add some text to the page pretending that the not-yet-well-known amateur pornstar depicted in it was a horny housewife waiting for him in the visual-basic htaccess protected members area "to show the kinkiest pictures ever".

It was much easier to play the psycological game by accomplishing the user's fantasy in a way or another.

Nowdays, with the help of my ?29/month 1,2 Gbps home fiber optic cable I can find and collect all the filmography of a brand new pornstar in a matter of minutes if not seconds.

And since I'm a geek I can store it on my cheap amazon drive and/or save it all on my home NAS and stream it on every single device in my building.

And all this without paying a single dime.

In 1998 there was no P2P concept and a single phone dialer turned some kids into business men. Today a business man thinks twice before investing into new projects due to evolving biz schemes.

Posting Jenna Jameson in 8k or Lisa Ann in 3D 4k won't change the final consumers' perception. But changing the way porn is made maybe will resume a business model that is going to hell.

Times are changed and the adult industry has to change likewise.

That's my 2c.
