I do see that discounts in porn are quite popular nowadays...

Porn was an impulse buy. It's now an impulse people consume because we made it that way.
The problem is there were very few real marketing people who understood the product, its uses, and the consumer. There were webmasters talking bollox and how to give away more free porn than the next man. They compared bottled water to porn and now Netflix to porn. Neither compares, especially Netflix.
In effect, you were all losing over 100% of your possible sales the day you started to give away porn on TGPs. As time passed the percentile grew. Today it's over 10,000% lost to every sale. You threw out the baby with the bath water and now crying over spilt milk
But you did achieve your real goal, you now have more people looking at porn than ever was possible in the days when it made loads of money.
