Whose sales got worse? Are you forgetting WHO the big paysites were back then? They were HORRIBLE. Max Cash and ARS were the big programs and at that time they were busy circle jerking back and forth to each other with non-ending pop ups. And their members areas were nothing but Zmaster content from the 1980's. THAT was the reality then.
When companies started shooting their OWN exclusive content and released hosted galleries is when sales went through the roof!
The problem that has happened over the last few years are the thousands and thousands of "fake" TGP's that have flooded the market with those hosted galleries. And every other link a blind link.
It has hurt just as badly as the paysites when they had all those pop ups and their entire business models were based on exit traffic and not memberships.
This is NOT history repeating itself. You are comparing apples and oranges.TGP's market, and have always marketed toward selling MEMBERSHIPS TO PAYSITES. These torrents are doing NOTHING like that at all. They are stealing our content and getting paid by dating sites.
TOTALLY different. This is nothing but pure thievery. Please don't lump TGP's with this bullshit.
