And they will crash like paysites did when the customers move over to free webcam and dating sites, like they did with paysites. Free porn alway existed and it did hit sales. It's now people can see it clearly that they're hurting. It will happen to webcams and dating. Then paysites might come back, because Tubes will lose advertising revenue.
You can bet money they won't come back if we rely on the efforts of paysites to bring them back.

I have seen some trends into new formats but I think them to be just rehashes of old ideas -- fundamentally they are not new at the core.

This was all paysites did, never used the Internet to it's fullest potential. Just shot stills and videos and loaded them onto a site. Then gave them away.

We are diversifying into new markets. Of course, we want to continue to build on our success in the adult market also wishing to develop potentially successful endeavors in more mainstream markets.

Yes good move.

If you think "adult" to be competitive -- mainstream will "rock your socks" ...

If they think adult online is competitive. They would of got taught a lesson or 3 if they had looked long and hard at offlin adult. They would of got eaten alive. Or totally ignored.
There was very valuable lessons to be learned in offline adult. But online guys were to clever to look at another side of the industry. They might of learned how to create a great site for zero costs. They might of learned the harm giving away the product for free was doing. They might of learned that most of them were doing nothing with content that hadn't been done offline for years. They might of learned to be less arrogant that they were the "New bright kids on the block." And were just "New kids."
Robbie you missed my point. The "gurus" weren't as
clever as people thought they were. Just in the right place at the right time. That's my point.
If they had been clever they would of walked across the corridor at the Vegas trade shows and learned from the other sides of the industry. If they were clever they would of seen an asshole like me didn't need them. And shot crap content. And figured out how to monetize their content production better. If they were clever they would of learned how to build a site like FTV or Met-Art level
fro free.
In the right place at the right time and not clever enough to learn from their left and right.
