1) They flip the bill for hosting the videos, unlike the thousands of affiliates making programs pay. Honestly... do any affiliates even spend a nickel to promote a site anymore?
2) The traffic is usually huge, so the exposure is good.
But that's about where it ends...
In the end, they're just one of several things helping to kill our business.
i can beat off to everyones content who posts on gfy with out having to ask for a user:pw
heh... exactly
most torrent sites suck because they don't give you a preview. Now we have Tube sites riding to the rescue - they offer us the full graphic preview of a sites content - for FREE, so that we don't have to waste our time downloading crappy site-rips from the torrents, we can just download sites that we actually like - for FREE.
huzzah for the Tubes....
on a non-sarcastic note... I cannot fucking believe the goldmine you all are giving away for free... and succumbing to the trend like twice-beaten feild mice. 'adapt or die' my ass.
lock up all the graphic content and the surfer WILL pull out his wallet.
its not 'adapt or die' attitudes that we should be following... it should be 'take back control of our product' and get back to SELLING it.

believe me - without free porn, just as many people will seek porn out on the Internet, and many more will pay if there is no free alternative, its not like sex is a fad - it can be milked much like any renewable resource - long term

DVD/Magazine publishers were probably saying something similar about "The World Wide Web" back in the early 90's ... they got left in the dust. It was the Pioneers/Innovators who made $$ with the adult net. Now, 10+ years later, the new realm is upon us and guess what ... some people are KILLING IT while others are once again being left in the dust.
So the question should be ... What side do you fall on?
