Did I stop the debate?

When an industry puts marketing above product it either has the product nailed down and can't be improved or what?

Imagine how you would feel as a buyer if you felt people were putting more into the marketing of a product than the product. Would you feel the industry was serving you or serving itself? Look around at the examples, MacDonalds, the Presidential election and perfumes. which one of these would you like them to spend more attention to the substance of what you're buying and less on the marketing?

Kroy you missed the main reason this part of the porn industry does so badly. It does not sell what the customer needs, it sells what the industry needs the customer to buy. Which is fine until some break the mold.

And yes I'm to blame as much as the others. And there are sites/sponsors who have broken the mold.
