sex toys will have lower immediate ROI on tube sites because there's no instant gratification (gotta wait for the sex toy to arrive) and they're not offering a magical solution to an immediate problem (limp dick, can't get laid, etc)

of course people are still running sex toy ads on tube sites (fleshlight, anyone?) but they're probably usually counting on making more sales down the line. it might take a lot longer to reach positive ROI compared to a running a dating scam.
