Robbie, it was cool seeing you in vegas recently, I was wearing a stupid fuzzy hat. Time before that was in a limo with Al in Vegas 10 years ago, probably the same stupid fuzzy hat. You remember my history with al4a. Most people back then shunned the TGPs but guys like quiet killed it. Guys like you killed it by providing the platforms for lots of companies to explode.
im not a big guy, never claimed to be and certainly am not telling you how to do things. All I'm saying is for some the tubes work. For others they don't.
I seeded guba back in the day, I seeded sites like scour and kazaa and the TGPs and now big fat tubes.
How anyone can quantify what people are losing out on makes no sense to me. You don't like the sample I provide in my front of my store, fine move along and go down the street.
It's a different world, soon everyone will be submitting full movies and begging to do so.
Different for you maybe because you have a wife that loves you.

But I do know what I'm talking about. And the orignal post of this thread says it all: If pornhub is so great, then why aren't paysites prospering instead of dying?
The few decent affiliates that are left are only making a small percentage of the sales to paysites that they once made.
It's not brain surgery to realize that if you give the whole thing away...nobody will buy it.
And yeah...your analogy about giving out SAMPLES of pizza to show how good it is...is an analogy I completely agree with.
I made millions with my tgps doing just that.
And we could all still be making great money with our tubes IF it was still SAMPLES.
But with entire sites having their members areas ripped and given away for free on file share sites and torrents..and then stupid tube sites giving thousands of FULL scenes away for free just to get big traffic numbers...well, that ain't no sample.
That's giving away the whole thing. 
And yeah...that's just STUPID.
Sure, guys that own the tube sites doing that are making good money off the traffic. Selling pre-paid ads and doing white label cams.
But they are throwing away the value of the entire business and making far less than what they could if they just weren't giving it ALL away.
But what do I know? All these companies going out of business and/or getting bought out by Fabian, and all the people who have lost their jobs, and all of the sales that USED to happen...I suppose none of that means anything. |
