You still don't get it. The buyers did not buy for the ads, they did not even like all the ads. The bought month after month because they got a brand new lot of fresh content that met their needs and at a price that did not make them think twice.

Yes the ads supplied the extra money to allow the mags to keep a quality the Internet has never been able to afford. And that is the reason the millions of magazines buyers bought a new edition every month. But the other costs of producing a magazine were also very high.

DVDs were also bought month after month to get the latest edition. Brand new scenes the buyer did not have. They had no advertising to cover costs.

Come up with a real problem, not ones we need to get around.

Gideon you must stop trying to look like a complete idiot. So if we achieve the almost unbelievable task of closing them down do you think men will stop looking at porn? Seriously you need to think outside your tiny box.

I don't think we will ever close Tubes. If they have to stop being funded by selling advertising space they will need to reduce their costs. By reducing the size, length, quality or number of videos a surfer can view every day. But they will be supported by sites who will host content for them. Will these guys do this ir the site they're financially supporting still selling some cheap ad spaces?

I will not reply to any more of your idiot posts in this thread, but you can keep bumping it.
