The press release was on "xbiz" how many potential customers vs porn site people read that ?? To do a press release in an adult industry publication would look more like they are trying to market to affiliates not customers.

In my opinion most porn sites are incredible deals.
Especially when compared with what it was like buying porn as recently as the mid 1990's and of course all the decades before that:
You had to sneak to an adult book store and hope nobody recognized your car...and that's IF the town you lived in even allowed an adult book store...and then you were paying 40 to 50 dollars for ONE video tape that you didn't even have a chance to preview and would have 4 or 5 scenes on it.
Now you can join most any site for less than one dollar a day and have access to tons of scenes...and you are able to preview before you buy with a nice tour. And of course all done from the comfort and privacy of your home.
I get annoyed reading people who are part of this business constantly saying that paysites suck. I'm old enough to realize just how good they are and how the internet changed everything.

A 21 year old, or even a 26 year doesn't know what it was like to buy porn in the mid 90s off line nor do they care. Just because you think it is a great deal now vs what it was 15 years ago, doesn't mean it is a good deal to everyone now.
You comparing your view of online porn today vs what you use to have to do to see porn 15 years ago would be like a 21 year old person today saying, I think those tube sites are great deals, I can't believe that people use to pay for porn a couple years ago. The tube sites are such a convenience and much better deal. You can go to a tube site and search tons of full length videos fast and easy, don't have to download anything to worry about viruses, the quality is good, don't have to enter in a credit card and worry about trying to figure out how to cancel, or getting banged 3x with cross sales, and best part it is 100% free.
I agree, you get a lot more bang for your buck now than what you did in 1995 but we are not in 1995. You should stop thinking that something is a good deal now vs what it was like in 1995 and instead look at if what you offer now is a good deal or not vs what is out there now, not was out there 15 years ago.
