If they see it there why they still going to go to a site like the hun afterwards.. makes no sense.
i think this statement is better said.... they will probably stay on TGP and MGP sites until they find out about tube sites. Thats like saying the guy who gets free hotdogs from the vender on the corner is going to keep eating hotdogs for free after he finds out that the steak house on the corner is giving away filet for free. sure he might be a little cautious to take bite but once he sees the meat is good he is going to ditch the lucky dog stand.
These tube sites are not hitting them up with pop up hell, or viruses or spyware etc... they try it once they hooked. Its not a comfort issue, its the simple fact that they just dont know about these tube sites yet.

We are both right in a sense... I'd say the average surfer visits many more sites daily than he/she did before. While a person may have visited 1 site a day, thousands of websites popup daily and are demanding attention from surfers. Webmasters and just normal people are learning about the power of viral...And that in turn teaches people to surf viral.
However, a bookmark is a bookmark. People may choose MGP's over tubes for varied reasons. Maybe it's because they actually LIKE looking at galleries to find a new paysite to visit because they want quality, and not some grainy flash clip. Maybe they like watching in an external player without having to pass it through a software converter. TGP surfers will continue to enjoy pics without question, as maybe they don't care to surf free porn vids. Maybe they use pics to preview a site, and want the bulk of the content once inside. Maybe their connections just suck and pics are all they can view efficiently. Not every surfer loves strictly movies and not every surfer is on a high speed connection.
Now I'm getting away from my initial point however. Will MGP's and TGP's die? Eventually it probably will slow. This doesn't mean those sites have to let it die though. They can always change formats to adapt, and their built in base will put these sites back at the top once again.
Did the music industry die when mp3's ran rampant? A part of it did, but other avenues opened. Some of the originators benefited, while the stubborn fell behind. I don't see the porn industry as being that much different. A few years this back, we all thought MGP's were the death of the industry. It's been the opposite.
