Exactly right. I didn't factor in the cost of their content (or lack thereof) but instead focused on their massive traffic. But your points are spot on.

Everyone wants to make the pie smaller thinking they will sell 10x the pies that way. Doesn't work that way, sorry (or only does for the Wal-Marts of the world).
And the Walmarts of the world pay no taxes, are government subsidized, etc.

Legitimate, established online porn Wal-Mart like sites (non stolen content) with daily updates are running a crazy rat race with huge turnover & unnecessary expenses.

When I talk to these guys and we share stories I'm blown away! Even though they have daily updates, expenses are going up and they can't raise their prices past rock bottom because of perceived value and their production resources are tapped making diversification difficult. They've tried A/B price increase testing and they lose too high a percentage of members every time. The organized crime theft of their content is out of control, which greatly affects their tight profit margins too.
