But if you put an embedded video with a download link and a flash streaming movie up, that are the same and ask them to rate it. The flash stream kills the download, in rating, views, likes, uses, everything. The download... isn't even downloaded.
The real problems is "you assume" you know what the surfer wants.. when you have no idea yourself, just like them..

Exactly. Vegas Ken, what you are experiencing in my opinion is a failure in marketing. It's all about presentation.
You are presented to the surfer as a "Review Site" When the internet was young, we tgp's were presented as just "nice guys who want to share our porn"
But in the end we are all affiliates trying to make a sale. You CAN present it to your surfers in a way that is beneficial to them, to you, and to me. But you're not doing it. We are not a download site. And if you asked your surfers if they would rather shell out $34.99 for a site that everybody else can see for free OR if they would rather spend that money on something exclusive then as TheDoc said...the answers would be much different than the ones you are quoting now.
It's the same way that polls are skewed. You can't get the right answer it you're not asking the right questions. And you aren't going to make a sale if you don't present the site correctly and truthfully. And penalizing a site like ours for doing encrypted streaming only is not correct or truthful. The truth is it is to the BENEFIT of our REAL members. Not the fly by nights who join, download, and then chargeback. But the members who have been faithful members since the day we opened the doors.
As I said earlier...almost all of our members are in love with the girl. They LIKE being a member. They support her and want to do things for her. It's a different ballgame than the big generic sites out there and should be treated as such.
