It's all H2O.
It's all the same thing.
All that was required was for marketing experts to change the perception of what was in the bottle, to create imaginary distinctions of quality/benefits for buyers and people were willing to not only pay for it, but to pay a lot for it.
Whats inside all these bottles that cost money, some cheap, some very expensive?
The same H2O.
In the end, its all just marketing.

Obviously someone who is clueless of the real world. Lives in a parallel universe where nonsense is logic.
When you're out in your car, shopping in a mall, walking through the scrub lands or even outdoors. No one, if you missed it,
NO ONE has free water to drink. In fact access to free drinking water is very scarce.
It's in rivers that run down the side of mountains. Filtered by nature through the rocks. Drinking from waters anywhere near civilizations is risky, you have no idea what you're drinking. Troops in desolate places are issued tablets to make "natural water" safe to drink. My dog can drink from the river for free, he has the constitution that allows him to, for me to drink the same water is risky.
We all have water on tap in our homes. It's not free.
So in the real world water for drinking isn't free. If we choose to do what we have done we filter the water we use to for drinking and cooking, it costs money to filter. We put it in large bottles and for Eva and our daughter we often add a flavoring. Not free. The water we use to water the garden isn't free. The lady came yesterday to read the the water meter in the front of our cottage.
What the bottled water company do is professional marketing, they create the need to buy bottled water.
The idiot marketing people in online adult destroy the need to buy online porn. And then show proof they have done this thinking it proves the opposite. IE "I can convert 1-800 off clicks from tube sites." Thinking that is proof the the online marketing industry has a clue is astounding. It's saying "Out of the 800 who can be bothered to go look at the the tour, I can't sell to 799 of them." Yes that's proof it doesn't work. Arguing it does with me is pointless, because the only people who will back you up are the people that believe the same. Doesn't make losing 799 out of 800 interested people is good.
Test if the online porn marketing theory works. Stand outside a shop and give away free bottled water and see how long before it slows down the sale of bottled water.
Marketing is extremely important, I've been in sales long enough to know that. Also been in sales and marketing to know creating a reason not to buy isn't marketing. The job of marketing is to do what the bottled water industry do and create a need to buy.
We've just lost Steve Jobs. He created a repeat buy product from a normally one off buy product.
He didn't give the product away to do it. He created the next model slightly better than the last model and created the panache of owning the new gadget he built. Even the iPad wasn't a great tool, it often did less than than a mini laptop, but people had to have it, same with his newest phone version, or what ever he turned his hand to.
What he did to the mobile phone industry is amazing. By improving the next product on the last one. Old fogies like me never got it, to me a phone is a phone. But I see clearly what he did and have great respect and admiration of hi. He did this by not giving his product away and making buying it bothersome.
Could write a book to describe the stupid of online porn "marketing". but you idiots involved in giving the product away to lose sales, will never listen. Keep giving the product away and calling it marketing.
