Maybe, but what guy goes out looking to pay for porn? At what time in history would those guys have answered, say,
"I surf around the porn sites until I find a site I like then I pay for a subscription."?
A guy doesn't know he's going to pay until he sees something that makes him think paying is a good idea.

If the amount of free content available was really the problem, then things would be much, much worse than they are now. But this industry is still generating billions every year despite the vast amounts of content out there. So what exactly are people paying for?
Well, they
think they're paying for content, but what they're really paying for is a delivery mechanism, a mechanism that supplies them with something very specific that they want. We're not selling content, we're selling ease of access, organisation, regularity of new content and so on. It's a distinction lost on most people, but it's an important one.
