As for paysites, most of them were shitty cookie cutter crap with a few pic sets and non exclusive videos.. There were tens of sponsors running 50+ paysites like this. They died because they lost affiliates who would promote any crap if it paid them well. Actually, I am glad they are out, that tactics of selling crap and ripping off customers was only causing harm to this business.
Porn quality has nothing to do with the video being exclusive or non-exclusive. This has created the cookie cutter sites and low conversion rates over the years.

To the viewer every video he hasn't seen is exclusive, he doesn't give a flying fuck if it's on 1 site or 1,000. To him it's new. It did matter to the owners of TGP sites who demanded exclusive submissions to lower the job load.

This for all sites created a problem. They could only afford to pay for content that would only get seen on their site. Gone were the days of the big boys being able to spend $10,000 or more on a scene. Looking back at the days Private, Wicked, Vivid, etc were able to create truly unique content I can see the difference with today's cookie cutter exclusive scenes.

A girl on a sofa gets fucked, it's the only scene this girl wears this outfit and get fucked on this sofa. However, there are so many scenes of her getting fucked on another sofa in another outfit getting fucked and 10,000s of scenes of other girls on other sofas getting fucked, that are exactly the same.

So why join a site when you know all you're going to get is non-exclusive cheap exclusive content that's the same as everyone else's?

Before you mention a few sites that do it differently, think hard about what exclusive really.

I do agree with the part about affiliates only interested in the short-term return. Just like site owners.
