I respectfully disagree. I surf porn. I know what I like. I don't settle for less. I've also ran some of the biggest tgp's in the world over the last ten years and dealt with millions of surfers. People want what they want. Some people never know what it's like to be a member of a premium site. But most want to know. I've watched surfers spend their time looking at free porn until they COULD go in and get the real deal.
Again, it's entertainment. Something I've been doing all my life. I know my audience. Underestimating the desire of a customer for the better things in life is a mistake in my estimation. You can write them off as nothing but perverts wanting to get their rocks off for free.
But I've made millions off of doctors, lawyers, businessmen, and other members from all parts of society who WON'T settle for the lesser things in life. Especially when you take into account the incredible bargain that a good premium paysite is in comparison to other forms of entertainment.
Thirty bucks? I spill more beer in 10 minutes. You could have a good time at a titty bar for oh...about 5 minutes. You could get yourself a half-ass meal at a shitty restaraunt.
OR, you can have a month long membership to a premium site with all the bells and whistles. Available to you 24 hours a day. I mean, it's a pretty cheap form of adult entertainment.
And again...the torrent sites can NOT foresee the future and know what I'm going to do next. Or what any of the creative minds in this biz are going to do. All they can do is steal shit that is already in our rear view.
By the time they steal the stuff...we are already working on new scenes and new ideas. Bottom line is the web 2.crap and torrent sites have ZERO creativity.
And you're right, there are plenty of toothless, classless, cheapskate people out there who drink cheap beer, never leave a tip, smoke generic cigarettes, drive shitty cars, have zero ambition, and like to download stolen shit that is already "old news" and is presented out of context and thus not as titillating or sexually exciting as it was originally presented (and yeah, sex is very mental and very visual). I hope they enjoy their "new" "technology" and are feeling good about it.
But true fans (and again, there ARE fans out there....both of tgps and ESPECIALLY fans of the girls in the paysites) will come to see their favorite performer and support her. I've seen that time and again. That isn't gonna change.
To me THAT is the real reason NOT to fear torrent sites. They are thieves and a nuisance. But they are not creative and they aren't inventing or creating ANYTHING new.
I'm far more impressed with creativity, hard work, and attention to detail than I am a group of lpeople who can't create...which is what I consider torrent sites to be.
