Bingo. Its the same as I can get from home to work in a honda civic, but if you have the means you would rather be driving a Porsche. Now lets say you could buy that Porsche for the same price as you could a civic which would you buy?
Look its customer A. he has 30.00 a month he can spend on porn. He has site 1 which has 640x480 SD movies at an OK quality he can choose. Then he sees site 2 which has 480p streaming maybe even 720p streaming plus downloadable 720p videos. Both sites have the niche he likes. Both sites are 27.95. Site 1 is on a standard host for their content. He has to wait 30 seconds to 5 minutes for the video to buffer and start playing. Site 2 has much larger content but they are on a Content Delivery Network that is pushing them their content from the closest server possible using a Flash 3 server that starts his video instantaneously. No waiting and higher quality for the same price. Is this REALLY that hard to understand?
People cry about lower conversions, a saturated market, and YET want to continue to offer the same shit that was offered 4 to 5 years ago and expect the consumer to scream out "Yes sir may I have another!"
This is simple. Move forward and strive to have the best possible product possible. Technology is only going to improve as far as our compression methods and quality of our source video. The "you can see pimples and imperfections crap" isnt going to cut it. Keep telling yourselves that though.
