For well over 12 years most online porn companies have companies have fought with each other to see who could get the most traffic. By giving away the most porn. This was very expensive. Any site owner will tell you his bill for generating traffic was immense.

It led to an inflated free porn barrier. Too many affiliates sucking off the teat of sponsors and too little people buying, compared to the numbers not buying. Yet it all worked. If 1-1,000 porn surfers bought, from those like Will who have amazing traffic to those who had poor traffic, it worked. Today the actual number who surf for porn and actually get out a credit card could be around 1-10,000. And the vast majority are on Tube sites like Pornhub.

Now it's biting the most of you in the ass.

Will I might be wrong on the figures, I might be under or over. But the principle is spot on. We built this barrier, not it's so big fewer are buying than ever.
