Ok, Enough lurking on this board. - Finally registered so i can spend my .02
IMO - The biggest problem with all of this, isnt neccesarily the free hosts.
Its the amount of hardcore, free pics out there. Ask yourself this, would you pay 40 bucks for a paysite, if you knew that you could go to "the hun" and see all the graphic high quality pics you want?
(no offense hun) the hardcore is killing everyone in this industry, from the lowly newbie, like myself, to the largest paysite.
yes, people are still making money, for some, times couldnt be better. but even the dinosaurs of this industry admit that they have to work harder to convert the same amount of traffic than just two years ago!
its just like that old saying mothers tell their daughters - why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free.
simple, basic, business 101
you dont give out your product for free, then, try to convince someone to buy it!
The Hun, AL4A, PK, Tommy's - should all ban together and stop accepting hardcore posts.
they wont, because they are too afraid of the next guy accepting it, but, if all the majors did this, it would bring change into the industry AND people would make more money.
Short of legislation from governor bush, and that extremist ash*****, this business will continue to get tougher and tougher. unless the paysites can start offering something free sites cant.
ok, im done ranting.
