Deductively, the people who's sales are going down are providing less value than they used to. This can be interpreted multiple ways.
1) Other people are providing more value. There is a large degree of truth to the bitching and moaning about tubes sites. However, there isn't anything you can do to make them go away so learn why people like them (really give it some thought and don't just say because it's free). Also, mega sites like videobox are providing so much value even the largest programs can't compete with them. Then there are also the clip4sales with amateur producer content. Just a few things to consider.

I SEE THE WORLD FROM THE PRODUCERS POINT OF VIEW, SO TAKE IT AS THAT VIEW.
This is so true. So many sites are churned out with porn that has no feeling, emotion and true personality today many surfers are asking themselves why pay $30 for a site with 50 scenes that are no better or different than a Tube site? Many sites are full of porn shot by the same person, sometimes a guy who has a years experience or a shooter on a budget that simply does not allow him to shoot decent porn.
Many many top sites buy in content that is massed produced and crap. The surfer sees no value to it because the sponsor put no value on it. He might of asked the shooter to do 5 solo girls sets and videos on a day for $1500. This country was full of shooters shooting low quality porn with shooters and girls going through the motions.
For 8 years I told you content is king and you told me I was wrong. Well the truth is unless you have a site the surfer will sign up to and stay you have to keep sending vast amounts of traffic. Traffic that had decided a Tube site has more to offer.
3) Your offerings grow increasingly out of touch with the demands of consumers. This could be a combination of customer demand changing or simply producers shooting stuff that customers don't care for. I think it's more the latter. How many shooters actually watch porn on a personal level? Shooters are motivated to get more work they are "playing it safe" and have come up with their own rules of what is correct. As a consequence there isn't much variety to all the content out there. Everything is the same.[/QUOTE] Spot on. This side of porn has always looked down on porn, the producer and consumer. Many here think this is an Internet business, it's not it's porn delivered on the Internet.
How many here consume, like, pay for or even understand porn? Very few and this had led to the industry selling to itself and ignoring what the consumer needs. When someone comes in and takes the consumer away from them it's always someone else's fault. If you lose a client it's your fault for not meeting his needs, not the fault of the guy who picked him up. That customer was looking else where.
