The point of this thread, and other discussions I'm having that are similar, is to try and get you, my friends, to get over your outrage and righteous indignation and look at things from a detached and logical perspective.
Why would someone who has bookmarked an MGP ever buy a porn membership?
What about a TGP?
What about an adult check gold member? Those people signed up to paysites in droves, that was the most valuable traffic on a per click basis probably ever.
If those people all bought, and still buy memberships, why wouldn't a tube site surfer also buy a membership?
Selling a product below cost is exactly the same, in terms of competition, as giving the product away. The only difference is the amount of the loss.
So if you owned a store and Wal-Mart moved to town, what would you do?

if you're one of the smart ones who adapted, then it'd be nice to hear how exactly did you adapt?
nothing personal, but if you admitted to being a gallery submitter in the past, then you could say what you're doing now? although I guess the answer would be simple - you're running tube sites, (or -less likely - advertising on them)
If you don't wish to reply - obviously fine. I rarely share my biz as well. |
I "admitted to being a gallery submitter"....you say that like I "admitted to being an alcoholic" or a criminal or something like that.
I haven't submitted a gallery in years. That game was over a long time ago IMO. I still buy some spots on some TGP's. If you're getting the spot for the right price and promoting the right product in the right way you can still make a profit....albeit a smaller profit than in years past.
I won't go into details about my other projects other than to say I never ever ever publish content to the web that I don't have a license to use. So nobody should ever say or think that I support piracy or anything of the sort.
I just don't think it's the big deal everyone makes it out to be, I just think that people's numbers suck and they're looking for someone to blame, so they blame the tubes.
