And that's the problem. Maybe now you see it, I saw it years ago as you say. Most ignored it and carried on building the freeloaders base.

I saw online porn devastate offline porn, to the extent it closed loads of magazines and put those left of very small budgets. I saw the devastation to video and cable. All because of free porn.

Now it's biting you in the ass. As someone at the forefront of giving porn away, how does it feel?

And what are you going to try that's new? A tube site full of even bigger reasons not to spend money, selling to Dating sites that scam customers or selling sponsored links? Sorry I never look on your site so didn't know. Still might be a good example of the ratio of freeloaders to the ratio of buyers you have, we could repeat the exercise every 3 months.

Sponsors are the ones who need to try new ideas, not ideas at getting more traffic, been doing that for 12 years and look where it got us.

Sponsors need to be thinking about how to convert and retain more. That's the only future there is for online porn. That and web cams, even dating will fail. You can't keep conning customers there's a girl in the next street waiting to fuck them.

Wonder if in 3-4 years I'll be proved right again.

The real problem is the attitude of many. So what if I've been saying it over and over again. The important thing is.Was I it right and what's happening to turn it around?

Lazy people and leeches just close their ears or ridicule.
