there is no way to adapt to a changing consumer when that change is 'i'm not ever going to pay for porn I can get anything I want for free' - other than become one of those that gives him a buffet of free quality porn.

if i have to do it one day then i will.

there are definitely ways to adapt. generation Y will pay for things. they pay for things every day. it's a generation of prolific consumption but they are definitely not going to pay for things that they are certain that they can get for free, especially when it's content that doesn't fully appeal to them.

i think that everyone needs to pay attention to the fact that social media is HUGE now (and has been huge for long enough that people should already understand but i get that adult is used to doing things one way already and has been slow to catch up). if people are saying that dating sites are still doing well then perhaps that means that people crave interaction? maybe the same can be attributed, to some extent, to the huge popularity of social networking sites? maybe a similar anecdote could explain some of the success we have experienced with godsgirls?

i truly believe that the days of people paying for content that is solely masturbation material are gone and that people are looking for sites that they can go to out of sexual interest and stay on for something beyond that. adult sites need to make themselves more dynamic in order to hold the interest of the incredibly internet savvy Ygen.
