Sadly true. Most of this industry has done fuck all to combat Tubes. In fact how many sites have changed the way they do business since the advent of Tubes?

Tubes exist mostly because they don't pay for traffic.Content is very cheap and not the main factor.

Members are turning away from paysites because members areas often don't meet their needs, because so little is invested in the members area.

Add to that short term greed of affiliates and sponsors ripping off customers and you can see why the perfect storm was created by us.

What's the answer?

Invest more in the 1 in a 1,000 who buy.
Less in the 999 who don't.

Or watch the perfect storm become a hurricane. Because this slump is just the tip of the iceberg.
