Are we fucking ourselves over?
I was thinking about this a lot last night, and was wondering what some of your opinions might be on this:
Are we totally fucking ourselves as adult webmasters by giving away so much shit for free? There is so much free porn out there, why anyone really needs to join a site is beyond me. Surfers are smarter these days, they actually know how to use their computers and understand the internet. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to change a numeral or a letter in a FHG to get another FHG, example, ND (if you don't know who ND is then you're a surfer so stop reading now) FHGs, you change one digit, and wham-o next FREE gallery of either pretty damn good videos or photos, and you know exactly how many more galleries you got to look at (hundreds)...
I always hear "Oh I remember the good old days when all you had to do was put up a banner and you'd get some sales"... Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe it was like that because content was so hard to come by that you wouldn't dare give it away for free so the surfer was forced to join a site to obtain it?
In my opinion, TGP's are our worst enemy, they give tons and tons and tons of that shit away every day, and they are almost all catered toward the surfer, ie, no full page ads, banner placement, images can't open in new window, no ads on the image pages, etc etc etc...
Could you imagine if you owned a Surf shop, and in 1 day 1,200 surfers came in and only 3 of them bought something (if you're lucky), and 2 of the 3 bought a $299.95 dollar surfboard for $49.95 because they only needed to use it for 3 days? You'd fucking commit hari-kari.
Nevermind the fact that we have to deal with them downloading our content and posting it on all the newsgroups, fuck let's make it easier for them, let's give that shit away for free, that'll teach em. Hey here's a bunch of free pics and movies, join my site, cuz I know it takes you like 3 minutes to whack off and all this free shit is enough, but hey, join my site.
This trend is only getting worse and worse, first it was photos, now there's videos, what the fuck is next? Are we gonna start to come over to their houses and fluff up their pillows for them and make sure that their vaseline is nice and warm too?
Why do we do this? I mean it is really fucking insane if you sit here and think about how much free porn we give out daily, busting our ass to give it out for free, and then seriously expect them to pay for a membership. No other business I can think of gives away so much for free.
People want porn, and they ALWAYS will, why oh' why do we give it to them for free? They will pay out their asses for it if they are forced to.
Opinions? Thoughts? Solutions?
