So the vendor Napster determined the market. By giving it away for free.
Actually to an extent I agree with you. The consumer demands short scenes at a very low price, how and when he wants it.
So why are we trying to sell him monthly memberships or PPV at a high price?
Following your line of thinking, should we be selling scenes for 50 cents and giving the customer the options of really choosing the scene and buying as and when he wants to?
Maybe selling him 10-20 scenes for $5?
That will go down a bomb with affiliates.
It seems we do dictate to the World how they buy porn and then sit here trying to figure out why more and more don't buy porn.
You and Agent make a fine pair when it comes to marketing.
Seriously. I'm stating the bloody obvious that if we're too survive as an industry we need to change radically. Agent thinks that something people sit and watch all night, has adverts from a very wide selection of industries. Is a good model for an industry selling a 20 minute jerk off and can't get non porn related industries to advertise on. Except maybe gambling and I don't see them breaking down doors to advertise on Pornhub.
WarChild states the obvious. Customers now they have the choice of selecting a 20 minute scene that fits their needs when and how they want is better than signing up for a months membership that gives a lot less choice. Maybe he's right and moving to a similar model as iTunes is the way forward. I started a thread saying so and got shot down for thinking we should adopt that idea.
It's utter foolishness to think that ANY out of touch WORKING guy is going to come up with a plan and then dictate to the World how they will consume porn. Changed it to make it more fitting.
