I can assure you the ratio is not 1:40k :-D not even 1:4k.

tube site to sale, a ratio of 1:40k is fair enough considering there´s millions hit through pornhub daily.

I can assure you that the ratio to views is 1-40,000 or worse. And given the number of hits on tube sites, the ratio is way lower than TGPs and lower still than link lists. We fucked ourselves.

I don't want to fuck myself

You can't calculate exact ratio to views cause many of the joins are type-ins. But that is another story.

I can assure you at least 50% of those views are freeloaders who wouldn't buy shit no matter what... even if it was 1999 again.

Tubes attracted all the traffic from TGPs, MGPs, LinkLists and all those old sources ..including the shitty traffic and useless 3rd world surfers.

Since you claim the old days were golden, may I ask you the usual # of joins per day you used to receive in the good old days on your paysite? Unless it's a secret..

Based on what criteria exactly ?

Good question

This myth that they wouldn't buy anyway needs to be addressed. Okay then.

Back in the day, there were somewhere around 6% of males buying some form of porn from a magazine to a video every month. In the Western World. In the Second World, there was still sales but I have no figures but it was too small due to the price.

This covers all sales from a titty magazine to an extreme hardcore video. Your very best conversions aren't coming close.
