People should spend less time blaming and more time trying to figure out how to compete.

Although you raise a good point, that has nothing to do with the thread title.

The thread is about cause and effect, not dealing with the aftermath.

Yes of course and economy.

exactly.. im looking for responses like "the industry put out too much too fast".. or "we didn't adjust our prices based on the economy" .. stuff like that.

p.s. neither of the above examples are my personal opinions, just giving some starting points to everyone else's opinions

Steps to compete with a tube site:

1) Make a tube site....

This is the cycle we are now in. "Competing" with them was never the answer.

Three factors, arranged by weight:

1. Economy (60%) - all my friends have brick and mortar businesses and they bleed just as badly as I do.

2. Tubes, torrents, etc. (30%)

3. Everything else (10%)

That's pretty much it. You have to continually increase your traffic to keep up with the worsening ratios. And it's probably going to be a lot harder than you think.

I can't blame the tubes for all of it. It looks like the industry has been trending this way for a even before the tubes. We didn't go from 1:200 ratios in 2006 to what we have now. The decline has been happening long before that. But the tubes, torrents, and rapidshare sites certainly aren't helping. Nor is the economy.

cherish your surfers, don't shave your affiliates, pay your taxes, pay for content, don't offshore and fear god

Tubes and forums like extreme.board, etc ... 75%
The economy ... 25%

Everything else is peripheral.

Porn is recession proof though.
