Let's say the government gives away brand new cheap cars. Selling at 8k each. Guess what kind of cars you'll see everywhere ? Of course, guys willing to drive their Mercedez and Ferrari's will continue to do so but the majority of people will drive the damn cheap car as it's FREE !
No offense, but I don't think that is a great example so let me suggest one that I think works better. Explain why people pay for cable channels when they get tons of free programming on CBS, NBC, ABC?

Even when they can see the same show that once cost money on cable...

And those cable companies buy ads on free tv...

For us, the people that join our site realize there is more to it than just tons of videos. For many other paysites, it looks great on the outside but when the customer gets inside they realize that they have already seen it all for free and there is nothing else compelling to pay for. So even though you may see the same movie on HBO that eventually plays on ABC, you were able to see it sooner and uncut with no intrusive commercials on HBO first and that is a premium that many will pay for in spite of a "free" option.
