You're not willing to admit that anything else could possibly be affecting sales other than piracy.
Fact is, when a guy gets assfucked into $100 in charges it makes him much less likely to ever join a pornsite again.
Porn consumers don't think the way we do, they lump us all together and think we're all the same. Paysites with shady x-sells and shitty members areas hurt this business 10 times more than tube sites with full length movies possibly could.

No I don't. The very second I hired RemoveYourContent and started aggressively protecting my content my sales took off again. And you're right IF a guy doesn't uncheck the x-sells and gets charged $100 then he's not gonna be happy, of course with a couple of clicks of the mouse he can just get his money back (I'm talking legit x-sells like the ones I see on OCCash).
But all of our sales over the last 10 years say DIFFERENT. Those x-sells have always existed on sites (including the mainstream ones I said earlier) Meanwhile all affiliate sales began to drop at the same time that everything was offered for free over the last year and a half.
Just in case you're misunderstanding me...I don't particularly care for x-sells. And hidden ones are just plain wrong. But since I actually own paysites and I actually shoot content, and since I've been in the affiliate side of it since 1997, I think I may have a little better perspective on what I'm seeing than some others do.
So no need to be insulting. I'm just pointing out facts. X-sells have always been here. And far worse things such as dialers were around too. NEVER stopped people from buying porn.
Suddenly our product is available for FREE. Sales are way down.
I don't know. Call me crazy, but for some reason I see a direct correlation there. Believe what you want to believe. But believe this...my type in sales are through the roof. I protect my shit as best as I can. My affiliate work where I promote hundreds of paysites that do NOT protect their content? Horrible.
I've made a lot of money in adult online. And I'm still making a lot of money. I didn't do it by ignoring the obvious.
