This is so fucking true it's sickening.
For a long time companies have been feeding lazy affiliates with no originality, or selling skills to make conversions. Their answer? Keep pumping the marketplace with free shit, and maybe we'll get some sales.
It may have worked in the late 90's. But now there is too much competition, and other studios. Plus beer money baron affiliates. So their answer? Keep pumpin, and dumpin more free shit. Better quality, longer videos, eventually someone has to buy right?
Wrong.
Over years of doing this, you flood the market to the point many feel they do not have to pay, and can get a jerk for free. Companies then wonder how it all went wrong.
Factor that in with the assembly line mentality to production, and greed for more and more money. You start diluting the quality. Then the scams. Advertising one site so people sign up, and get absolutely nothing that was advertised. So people no longer want to pay.
The adult industry is it's own worse enemy. If online companies want to stay in business, you need to raise the bar on what it takes to get into it. Eliminating the bottom feeders, and beer money barons with no long term investment, ethics, or morals. Much less skills.
People who can't convert a sale without a ton of free, fresh new content. That is not sales or marketing. That is giving shit away free, and they collect a toll on the highway.
