Absolute genius at work.

It's this thinking that has bought this industry down to a shadow of what it was. Because even though it's fundamentally right, giving the buyers the product FUBARs the whole thing.

Giving access to an industry to people who couldn't think beyond that and couldn't fund anything bigger than a cheap Ma & Pa operation lets in the worse kind who are unable to think of the big picture.

So we ended up in the free content race and even though ratios dropped every week. No one thought the flow of new people would stop. When the flow of new people who could or would pay for online porn. The shit hit the fan. And a company like Mansef with money from somewhere, were able to rebrand or sell out to Manwin for them to continue grabbing all the people surfing for porn and turning 1000 people surfing online porn into 1 buying into maybe as many as 5,000 people surfing online porn into 1 buying. Yo can argue with the figures, you know the method is right.

Now did the 2008/2009 Tubes create new traffic? No they took existing traffic and offered more free and less incentive to buy. And that continues today. And nothing Manwin can do will stop it. Nobody can turn off the tap of free porn without some major laws being passed. If Manwin turn off the free porn.



The people on Pornhub will go to Redtube or XnXX or any Tube they want to go to. So "Traffic IS NOT king." King is monetising traffic to the maximum profit. Adding another 10% of people is great and should always be worked on. Adding another 10% of sales profit on those people is better. It's also tougher, which makes it even better still.
