That's not accurate. 5 years ago I was promoting over 400 sponsors in stats remote...all adult. I promote more now of course. But my tgp's have lost all their traffic to tube sites. And EVERYBODY now uses torrents to download porn for free.
The big mega site companies are really getting hit hard. And in this case their very size is hurting them. Nobody is really in charge that understands the game, and so their stuff is being used by torrents and illegit tubes to make money via pre-paid spots.
I had a plumber over last week to replace the thermostat on my gas water heater. He asked me what I did for a living. I told him I was in the internet porn business.
He asked me how I could possibly be making a living at it anymore. I said "why would you say that?"
He told me that everybody knows you don't have to pay for porn anymore, it's all free for download on the torrents.
I realized then that if a plumber working on my hot water heater thinks that...then the whole world thinks it.
Nobody wants to pay for something that they can get for free. Why would they? So it's very difficult to market something....no matter what or how you do it.
The only guys making out like bandits on a torrent site are the dating and cam sites. And of course, as I discovered last night while googling up Claudia-Marie....the torrent sites are now charging money (just like a paysite) to download stolen content! No, I didn't say "upload", I said DOWNLOAD.
And they are also using keywords that they don't have the movies for at all to entice the surfer to pay their join fee. I know this because I found Claudia-Marie movies listed at a torrent site that gave you a "download' button. But when you click the button you go to a join page. Then once I paid to be able to check my content....guess what? They didn't even have my movies! They listed them in the free area so anybody using a search engine to look for her would see them as a potential torrent listing.
I spoke to Eric at Removeyourcontent.com about that and he said that "yes" that is becoming prevalent now with torrent sites as they are using deceptive b.s. to get the surfer to pay when they don't actually have that content (in my case RYC had already removed it)
