A perfect case in point. I have a friend who used to be a porn buyer. At any given time he always had a membership to some site. He would even ask me about good sites to join. A few years back he discovered redtube and from there other tubes. He has not bought a membership since and says he never plans to unless those sites either get bad or disappear.
