No one has countered this because they know it's right.
Stats rely on testing. Otherwise you only get the results from what you choose and do. If you know what to choose and do, you back my argument and are testing stats from a basis of knowledge and experience. If you don't know what to choose and do and relying on stats to tell you. You're stumbling around hoping to his the right formula.
It's rather like me trying to design a TGP and using stats to see if I get it right. I'm going to find out from a selection of bad designs which works best. If I'm picking girls to shoot, I don't need stats, I can meet a girl and tell after 20 minutes if she's suitable.
Then I can tell by stats if scenes of solo, GG or BG will sell better and make a profit. ST could never rely on stats to do this. Therefore stats are really only of use to those who know what they're going and a tool to improve. So are they a tool for people not good at what they do to improve?
Only if their costs for testing and taking stats are extremely low, if not nothing. Because for most of us testing to take stats and getting it wrong. Is going to cost money. Shooting the wrong girl, in the wrong poses and handling her wrong so I can find out if it works, is like burning my wallet.
Same goes for designing banners, tours, sites, niches, places to advertise, etc. If that test to get the different stats costs you money getting it wrong, is an expense. How do you feel about split testing tours? Great if they are testing from a knowledge of what works, not so great if you send traffic to a tour that instead of converting 1-500, suddenly goes to 1-700. Or worse.
As Gary says it all comes down to your skills to choose what to test to get the stats you desire. In porn, a lot of that knowledge is your ability to see what someone will hand over $30 to see. A pornographer will know. Someone joining the dots won't.
We only have to look at the threads with pics of shooters asking if a girl's hot. The votes for yes are often astounding. It's not about would you fuck her of jerk off to her. It's whether people will pay to do it, in a quantity that will make a living. If you need stats to tell you this. You're in the wrong business.
If Manwin, RK, BB and BF AWC, DWB, don't have people who know their product like a consumer. They're loosing money they could be banking. The last 3 do know. I suppose if you're an affiliate working in the dark, then stats is all you have. Wouldn't you like to know before hand what's good or bad, what will sell and won't in a quantity that will make you a good living?
