Who cares about the 16 million. It's the 1000s who buy we need to target. These are the guys who pay the bills.
Remember Tubes exist on those that BUY not those who surf for free.

2. "The customers prefer them to what paid porn offers." errr yes I think that has been established.

So paysites need to change. Shorter membership options. More selection. Bigger paysites. And more.

3. "Produces sites and memberships at a price the customers will pay for" Well unfortunately Paul, that figure they are prepared to pay is increasingly $0. As I have said above, any user with the ability to type 'porn' into Google can find the tubes, and once someone has been to the tubes they are unlikely to ever pay again.

Then all the spin put out by paysites is meaningless. The customer does not want HD, Exclusive, 3D etc. If you're right we might as well close the shop now. You're not right thankfully.

4. "Attack the ways Tubes are making a profit." You suggest paysite owners adding things to their members area. I am not sure how this attacks tubes. This wouldn't be so effective if people dont sign up in the first place.

It adds quality and diversity to the members area. Members like to view live action and the message will soon spread that paysites offer a better deal with web cams and dating than Tubes. You say everybody wants it for free and won't want free or cheaper web cams or dating. Which one is it?
Tubes would not survive if you were right. They survive on buyers not free surfers.
