Thought that bore repeating

Some of the arguments here against changes like these are not unlike the old mindset of blind links and circle jerks. Throw up some crappy pics and more or less force the surfer to the paysite at all costs.

By no means saying you would do that WB, but trying to show you a different perspective on why changes like this are likely good for sales

I'd like to think we're working with a somewhat more savvy surfer in todays adult market. Todays surfer is less likely to purchase based on seeing shitty samples and being herded to a paysite for more. But, give him a taste of something of quality...something that really pushes the buttons...something that hits home...and you might just have a sale

The same can be said of paysites...the old cookie cutter paysites dont' sell like they used to. This business is changing and maturing. I really think it's time to come out of the dark corners and into the light. Using quality samples to promote quality adult products makes sense imo.

Having given it a lot of thought since Greenie went live with these changes, I'll likely be implementing some changes at FPP. That is, if I ever get these new categories added!!!
