RE: The Topic
The early bubble burst for several reasons.
The main one being that many firms set up very quick. Rather than growing they presumed that they would have instant sales.
Many thought that by being online it cut out a lot of expence. But many cut out advertising.
So many crashed quick as no one knew about them.
Where big sites today have grown is via advertiments. Some push themselves a lot on TV and have grown this way.
From what I gather the early sites invested mainly in technology, which at the time was expensive. However the cost soon droped. Today I suspect a huge amout simply goes into advertising.
In recent years social network sites such as twitter and facebook have also helped get people to know about sites.
Today one area is data gathering. The smart people get you to fill inb a form. And even if you do not buy from the site they re-sell the dats to an unlimited nomber of firms. I have noticed this week where I went for car insurance and used a price comparison site. After less than an hour I started to get lots of emails about car insurance from firms. I then started to get phone calls too.
The problem with online porn is that your selling fresh air. You cannot hold it or touch it (as you can with a real product (such as with a dvd or magazine). And you can make copies quick. As such it does not have a real value. Its like MP3 music. With records you had a record. It was somthing to look after. But MP3's are just data. I would never feel the same about a mp3 song as the same way I would a record.
Trying to pretend that there is a way to save porn is pointless. Its free.
I use tube sites myself. One site and you can get all you want.
The only way you can save porn is to get the tube sites that have pirated porn shut down. Or at least get the films removed.
