Fact: Anyone remotely net savvy that enjoys porn understands that the same porn some people are still paying for is almost entirely for free on tubes with minor if any inconvenience.
Fact: 99.9% of people will choose free with minor if any inconvenience over paying for the same thing...this is true for just about anything.

But this is because of the economy, not because people have become smarter. People are fucking lazy. They don't want to search tubes looking for what they want to jerk off to. In one respect, you need to think of membership based sites as less of us selling porn, and more of being a directory for the type of porn they really want.
I went to the Tube sites and surfed them and after an hour was only able to find one video that interested me at all.
Two years ago people thought nothing of dropping $25 to get some good porn. Now it's another story, and everything is on the cheap.
Our business model is fine. The industry has changed. Tubes plays a roll in it. But the truth was our industry was new and exciting ten years ago. It's not now, and it's all over the Internet. Converstions of 1/200 are long gone. Everyone is bitching because the easy money is gone. And it's not coming back. But that's not to say that you can't make a profit in this industry!
