[QUOTE=Bladewire;21020641]We disagree. 2020 is only 4 years away.

By 2020 there will be so little left of the porn business few here today will still be here.
And we can wait and see who is right.

Also it was organized crime theft from paysites posting to illegal tubes hosted in DMCA noncompliant countries that brought the industry down. When content producers started pulling back on providing longer & longer clips to tubes, new paysite updates were all of a sudden mysteriously stolen and posted on the tubes, that's when things came apart for the industry.

Things change but human instincts & behavors have fairly well established components & patterns. The hunting/gathering component of sexuality is what tubes play on, luckily most are retarded and stop there.

The owners of tubes also have a slash/burn mentality, for the most part, which isn't sustainable for a renewable content driven, members based profit model.

We'll see if the smarter stronger tubes will be successful at creating their own content in a way that's sustainable and release it in a way that's profitable. I'd work with them to assist if it was Pornhub, or a handful of others, the rest a dying out.

EDIT: Funny the tittle of this thread actually pertains to tubes, not paysites. Tubes Have To Change Before It's Too Late
Knowing who spilt the milk, won't make people's incomes change.

For most who were here in 2008 it's over they have moved on, moving on, or planning how to move on. We have and as I knew the bad times were coming, we're fine. For those who are planning a long career in porn, I have a bridge to sell you.

For content producers there are far easier ways to make a living, assuming they have skills. Affiliates again those with real skills can move on, the rest are going to find life tough.

Online porn had 12 years maximum for most people in the business. Then getting it for free became a better option than paying for it. Once that line was crossed, it was downhill from there.

All this talk of starting again with something new makes me smile. Try mainstream with something that's worth consuming.
