Not everyone can be the TV network, more people have to be the TV show to make the network possible. Same with an agent.

The debate is over does selling porn makes more money than advertising on free porn sites. If it did PH wouldn't sell an ad free option, they would make more money keeping people on the free version. Apps that are downloaded for free, wouldn't have a paid ad free option.

Will the 500,000 viewers pay for porn? No and no one is expecting them to. Will they pay for gas, cigarettes, alcohol, cars, etc? Yes, but none of those advertise on porn sites despite how genius the professional marketers are the surfer is always in control. If that's all it took, ratios would be higher than they are and prices as well.

Will they pay for porn? You can't claim only free porn will get so many, then claim it's the power of professional marketers to make them buy what's given away for free.
