Which do you think is the better business model?


Viva La Revolution!!

Vick, you're a nice guy and all.. but you have been bitching for years about a business model that obviously works and one that most in this business capitalize on. the issue of "Free porn" is something that is and always has been grossly overstated. TGP's have found a point of equilibrium determined by a free market between annoying the hell out of people by forcing them to click through shitty galleries, mostly blind links etc until they finally know what they want and decide to go somewhere to get it without all the bullshit.

"free porn" doesn't stop new companies from blowing up all the time.

you can't put the genie back in the bottle. there is no point in even complaining about it. either you figure out how to profit from it... or you fail. all business evolves and all business people are constantly forced to adapt. 1997 isn't coming back. its gone. instead of investing energy in lamenting what is and what will never change, why not spend that time figuring out how to make 2007 the best year ever?

i'm not defending pornotube.com, gonzo, ken, aebn or jesus christ... i could care less if it lives or dies. management and the market will make that determination and i am sure that neither the adult biz or aebn will suffer if it did. but complaining won't stop the obvious... that free porn will always be found somewhere and as long as it brings traffic, someone (or many) will always use it to build traffic.

I'm not a nice guy but thanks, I feel warm and fuzzy - in a purely manly way. JR you're a wise, funny Nice guy - I mean that in a manly way of course, but if I didn't there's nothing wrong wth that

not much on TV is free

You pay for cable subscription or PBS belts you in the head with donation drives or you get commercialized to death

Ideas tend to be profitable Vick. Glad it popped into your head.

We can go back and forth with analogies all day long. There'll still be free porn on the internet.

Would I like it if there wasn't? Hell yes. Do I wish conversions were the way they were in 1997 when the surfers were all newbies and no one could afford to do something like a TGP due to the cost of pipe? Again, hell yes.

None of that will change reality and put it back the way it was. You can campaign as much as you want, free porn is going to be there.

I've long since found it's better to divert my energy into things I can control than waste my time sweating that which I cant.

I'm switching my focus more and more to my mainstream sites. Not much free stuff to deal with there.
