Judging on your signature I don't see you selling content.

You are retired man, and have nothing to really worry about. Us "youngins" are not giving in, we are trying to survive, would you like us all to go broke trying to fight something that is next to impossible? You are saying not to give up on stopping tube sites? Have you really thought about how difficult that is? Next to impossible man, next to impossible. But you will still say that I have "given up" to big yourself up because it's easy to say and you don't have to worry about it.

There are ways to combat Tubes, for some to put off the decline and survive a little longer. As an affiliates you've little choice. It's not really up to you.
The fundamental problem was the structure and direction of the online porn business from the early days. Spending too little on the product, too much on traffic had only 1 end result. A market flooded with mediocre sites and tons of free content.
I made a post in another thread and it shows it's nearly impossible to spend more than 15% on traffic and have good to great content in the members area, based only on Internet sales. The few who managed to do it started in the early days and built. The majority didn't make it past the level of, spending too much on what would eventually cause the demise of the industry. Free Content.

Have you ever watched late night commercials, or commercials in general? They are giving shit away left and right! Last night I was watching an Adam & Eve commercial, it said goto their site and buy something and it comes with "3 FREE DVDS!" anddd.. "FREE SHIPPING!". And something else free that I forgot. Directly after that a weight lifting supplement commercial comes on and they are giving away 30 days worth of their product FOR FREE so you will try it and hopefully buy more. The whole "give stuff away for free" mentality is happening in all industries both online and off. It might not be a good idea but no one has found a solution yet obviously. If you add up the profits from every company in existence that has given their product away free in hopes of selling it I'm sure it amounts into the trillions, even a small percentage in change would reap huge profits, but they are still trying to give more and more away FREE. And are these companies ran by young people? Most of them probably not.

You obviously have no clue about selling. Go think it through a bit more.
I guess this is the level of so many online. Adam & Eva run a buy 1 get 3 free special and it's giving the product away for free. Jakez doesn't think that the price of 1 can cover the cost and profit of the 4. Then running a special for people to try a product has been a selling practice for decades. Will the supplement company be running that special for ever?
We have given content away from the days of Tubes in far too large amounts. Not as a "Buy 1 get 1 free" offer or a "Try it for a month" special. But as a "You never need to buy porn again." Special.
Now people are screaming that the customers doesn't need to buy porn today. What Jakez means is the 0.5% who did but porn but liked it enough to consume now don't
wantto buy porn and have become 0.01% of consumers.

You're beyond saving. Good luck in your next career. Maybe flippin burgers to give them away.
