Paul, if porn didn't exist on the interweb, people would be taking pics of pages within their dirty mags with their digital cameras or phones to post online and they'd also be recording amateur videos to post and eventually tubes would still come along, except the tubes and entire internet would be filled with free amateur videos LOL. Then who would be in trouble the most? YOU.
You said at one time the UK was selling printed porn to 2% of it's population. When porn came to the internet, was it not selling 1:50 or better? Who was to know or care that one day it would be the way it is now, no one was going to turn down those huge profits 10+ years ago just because it "might" become too widespread and free one day. But you can call them idiots for not being able to see the future. Get real.
No one woke up one day and said "We have to start giving away as much free porn as possible!", it was very gradual. Evolution maybe? Do you really think it could be kept as text links forever? Like everyone is going to be thinking "Man, if I could just show some titties on the tour page I would get so many sales! But I'm going to just keep posting text links and make the same as everyone else because I can see the future 20 years from now if I show some skin and it looks bad for everyone and I have a very kind heart".
What would your solution to car crashes be? Make cars illegal?
Should dealerships stop giving test drives? Wouldn't want them getting a taste of owning the car!
You live in an imaginary world.

Yeah, I think that's why you usually see a watermark like "www.pornhub.com/PaysiteName", so they can track how many type in. Maybe someone has some numbers from something like that they can share?
