It's a dwindling percentage. That's one of the problems. We start with a 100% ratio (simplicity) of people who will pay for porn. Now we add in 50 full scenes within the niche that the customer is interested in easily available on the tubes and now the percentage who are willing to pay goes to around 60%. Next we have the situation where the tube offers 50 full scene movies from the same pay site we are trying to sell the customer and the number becomes 33%. Then we add in full site rips on forums with monthly updates posted there and let's say the new percentage of that old pool of customers who are willing to pay is now 10%.

Look at the numbers and consider the consequences. You need at least 10 times the people to make up for the loss. If you can do that then you can do well with it, yes. If you can't then you're in trouble. The numbers were pulled out of my ass as estimates but they probably aren't too far off. Fill in your own and come up with your own conclusion if need be.
