The point I was trying to make is that a lot of people who have never had any real success in this business try to come on GFY and talk authoritatively about sales and tell people like me that I don't know what I'm talking about.
But I do know what I'm talking about. And the orignal post of this thread says it all: If pornhub is so great, then why aren't paysites prospering instead of dying?
The few decent affiliates that are left are only making a small percentage of the sales to paysites that they once made.
It's not brain surgery to realize that if you give the whole thing away...nobody will buy it.
And yeah...your analogy about giving out SAMPLES of pizza to show how good it is...is an analogy I completely agree with.
I made millions with my tgps doing just that.
And we could all still be making great money with our tubes IF it was still SAMPLES.
But with entire sites having their members areas ripped and given away for free on file share sites and torrents..and then stupid tube sites giving thousands of FULL scenes away for free just to get big traffic numbers...well, that ain't no sample.
That's giving away the whole thing.
And yeah...that's just STUPID.
Sure, guys that own the tube sites doing that are making good money off the traffic. Selling pre-paid ads and doing white label cams.
But they are throwing away the value of the entire business and making far less than what they could if they just weren't giving it ALL away.
But what do I know? All these companies going out of business and/or getting bought out by Fabian, and all the people who have lost their jobs, and all of the sales that USED to happen...I suppose none of that means anything.
