If a Tube offers a better user experience than paid, it's impossible. Let's look at the pluses and minuses of paying for porn.

Paysites Small sites with content often shot on the cheap by someone with little skill.

Tubes Huge sites with lots of videos and a big selection.

Paysites Risk of getting ripped off.

Tubes No risk to getting ripped off.

Paysites You have to give up an email address and risk being spammed by porn sites.

Tubes No problems getting spammed, unless you give them your email address which isn't required.

Paysites Risk of your wife seeing a porn membership on your credit card.

Tubes No risk.

Paysites Customer has to cancel membership.

Tubes No membership to cancel.

Paysites 30 day membership you may only used 5-8 days a month.

Tubes Anytime anywhere, they are ready for you.

Paysites You pay join, find out there's nothing inside of much value. You lost $30.

Tubes Pornhub doesn't have what you want, try Youjizz or one of of the others.

Paysites They have HD.

Tubes Obviously HD isn't enough to convert more than 1 in 1,000s to pay. The consumer doesn't give it that much importance or more would buy off tubes.

And there are more. Free is way down on the line. Simply put Tubes do what Google, Amazon, Ebay and many more of the great Internet sites, do. They concentrate on the user and provide a great customer experience. The traffic comes and then they sell to it. We sold to it more than we inspired them to come and buy and keep buying. We thought they would buy if we advertised enough.

Now all they do is go to sites that do little more than advertise.

Yes go and argue that Google is free, but the reason the owners are billionaires and none of you are even close to it, is they concentrated on the user and the traffic followed. And all they had was a search engine to get them to come, we had porn!!!!
