Let's be honest with what is killing the industry (if anything)... It is all of the FREE stuff that is out there... That is, mainly, the TGP's. They provide more porn than anyone could look at in a year, and its all free. You can't sit there and tell me that TGP's aren't hurting all of us?...
Boneprone, you say:
"How would you all like that?
No more 30.00 per sign-up? It would go down to 5.00 or less. Partnership programs would not exist, or would not be worth the trouble, and the industry would not be nearly as rich as it is now."
in relation to having no recurring billing. I firmly believe that if recurring billing was stopped, it wouldn't lead to lower incomes. People are still going to need to get their porn and if your site is good enough, they will come back, but only on one condition, that all of the free stuff goes.
Imagine having free sites with only VERY softcore or censored content (which is what everyone should do anyway to protect minors
)?... This would mean that people are going to find it MUCH harder to get their rocks off and will more willingly pull out their credit card. Without the free HARDCORE porn that is EVERYWHERE now, conversions would increase and we would ALL make more money, even the TGP owners would make TONS more!
I know this will never happen however... It all starts at the TGPs... They are the sites that people go to work and tell their friends about... eg:
"Hey I was surfing the net last night and I came across
www.thehun.com ! WOW, there was so much porn there - even chicks fucking horses"
Pay sites dont have a chance in that situation.
Anyway... I will stop ranting now... Does anyone at all agree with me?
