Depending on how it's sold, that has always worked. That doesn't mean a paysite can do it, as you've already learned.

Sure, some people would want it on another platform, legal or not. Yes, people archive porn.

What was the ratio of 'your sales' to total overall traffic in a store? Exactly.... not everyone person purchased 'your porn' during that visit, but that doesn't mean they didn't buy some porn at some point.

What about those that use free content as ONE source of traffic among 100's of others?

I like to watch those that are growing by leaps and bounds... and not everyone is for sale, no matter how much is offered.
