Of course not.

But when 100 people consume a product and don't even go to a paysite, you know somethings wrong. Today those ratios would be a dream, yet are still shit ratios.

And that's the point. Online porn accepted these ratios and only looked at the 100 who came and the 1 that bought. (Numbers to illustrate the example) Even today and people know something is very wrong, Warchild posts ratios close to 1-500 on banner clicks. He didn't come back after that. Probably realised he dug a hole for himself. How many views did his clips get, to get 1 sale?

I asked another guy to tell me what he wished he could tell me in my cottage, he didn't come back.

Roald when asked to show what his ratio of freeloaders to buyers is, made an excuse.

All we know is the online porn business is now in the same boat they put the offline porn business in. Free porn, legal or not, is killing the industry. And what are they doing about it?

Ridiculing the messenger so they can ignore the message. Is that bright or what?
