Unhappy So a friend of mine stops over today...

One of my boating buddies, one with a really fast power boat, stops over today to do a bowl with me.
(I'll blame today's typos on him)

He is a retired commercial jet pilot living on a very comfortable retirement nest egg. He sees my monitor's screen full of porn and asked me about it so I try to explain that I do promo pieces hoping to make sales, kind of like movie trailers.

Told me he doesn't understand why anyone would pay for porn when Xhamster has it all for free.

Had that conversation with someone over the weekend myself.

Thou he had purchased porn before he stated he will probably never do it again because the last two times, even thou he read thru the info before puchasing, ended up with the you signed up for this site when you purchased that one and never cancelled the second site crap.

He said with The Hun for pictures and PornHub for videos why pay.

Actually I don't understand why people pay for porn when tubes have so much for free, but I'm bloody glad they do!

That is mostly why I got into publishing porn eBooks. There are very few pirate copies available, and those that are, are on those file sharing sites that require the surfer to wait 60 seconds or pay a fee. I feel that, since the fee is more than the cost of most of my eBooks and waiting 60 seconds is beyond most surfers, they will buy the book instead!

Not sure about that:
Full length :- Most tubes have 40-60 min films on them. If you need more than that you are probably never going to cum (but even so, you could simply hit another 40 min clip)
HD content :- If high quality is important, why do so many people watch blockbuster movies on DVD/Blue Ray? The best you can get on your TV, however powerful Blue Ray becomes, is HD, which is a bit under 1K. "Flee pit" movie theatres project on 2K and the better movie theatres project on 4K. So if people worried about quality, everyone within a reasonable distance of a movie theatre would go see movies there, not rent a DVD/Blue Ray. But they don't, they rent because it is cheaper. The price difference between tubes and paysites is even greater (free to $40pm).
Reliability :- OK, so there are some crap quality tubes out there, but it is not hard for a surfer to find a good quality, fast, reliable tube.

I compare free porn to free water. Water out of your tap is so cheap that it's basically free but people still buy bottled water. But when money is shit, like it is these days, people will forgo the bottled water and go for the free tap water.

On a personal note we still do get bottled water delivered, water here is really nasty, but have cut way back. I used to always order ice tea or bottled water when eating out now we just get a free glass of water. Friends that own restaurants are seeing this a lot including getting stuffed on free bread and more sharing of meals and forgoing desserts.

Just like buying designer clothes for no reason other than it has a label people will pay for porn memberships when money is good. But right now everyone is hurting so free water and free porn is good enough.

Related, I just came to think of a friend of mine.
He is a very good amateur-musician, I used to have an income from it.
The last ten years (or even more) he haven't bought a single album, only downloading pirated mp3's.
We've had countless arguments over this.

Then his son got success and he started to complain his son lost income from pirate downloads.

Go figure.

The internet is so rich, made so many people rich. But the internet is the devil LOL, seriously with pirated music and pirated porn.... it's sucks ass.

People still pay for porn thankfully. They want HD, they want their favorite pornstars daily. They want HD photo sets and full zips they can download instantly. Tubes suck. Pirate sites suck. Torrents suck. But at least some still pay out there.

People do still pay when they can't find what they want. It's why For The Girls is still going The mainstream industry has jumped on the "female friendly" bandwagon but their version of it essentially good looking models and DSLR cameras. But the focus is still on the skinny girl, the guy still comes on her face... So FTG still makes sales.
