Or at least where you can still make money in this business..

I tried selling pictures of random mens penises and no one bought them
An Internet site is so adaptable it's a wonder so few in porn do it.

In 2007 the game changed 180 degrees. As free porn via Tubes really took off it became self evident that what we were selling was not going to compete. Not just me dumbnuts Damian most of us.

The harsh truth is we were selling cheap hamburgers in a glossy box and a months recurring supply of them.

Tubes were giving them away, yes in less clarity, with nothing to pay, no membership, more variety, more selection, more content and without the risk of getting ripped off.

So how many changed their sites to compete with the new threat. How many stepped up the quality of their product. How many included something other than videos and pictures in their sites. How many varied the shooter supplying their sites. And how many supplied Tubes with free content in the hope of getting some traffic?

It's not that we moved up to selling Kobe beef, we kept on supplying cheap hamburgers and gave those giving them away more meat.

With businessmen like that, no wonder the Adult Internet is where it is today.
