It's like, you've already damaged the paysites' business by giving content away for free...then, you're going to spend money buying that paysite and continue to damage it buy giving content away for free?

No.

Because content ages. If you can offer something newer, or better packaged, or easier to access content, and you own all of the free alternatives which only offer the dated content, you've given yourself your own competitive advantage. And again, you're not factoring in advertising revenues.

Ok, so what about Sean's theory: freesite buys paysite then shuts freesite.

That surely hasn't happened.

It all depends on how one wants to make their profit. One can also make money from this scheme because there are far fewer production costs (nearly none) to run a free site than a pay site, but sometimes a pay site is more profitable. Every deal is different.

In order for that to be correct, you'd have to assume that the typical free tube site porn consumer has waded thru untold thousands of hours of "older" stuff available and is still so in need of more porn, he then has to buy. No.

And I don't believe the advertising revenues are so great as to justify the 100's of millions needed to get into this business and then actually run it.

You don't have to assume that. You can always remove content as well. When you have that kind of control, you can tweak your model to make it profit however you want it to.

Analytics can tell you a LOT about your traffic.

That doesn't answer an earlier question of mine, which is "the reason why no paysite has ever set up their own freesite in order to drive traffic to their paysite (and garner all the advertising revenue) is..."

Whatever content is being removed cannot even begin to make up for the endless, limitless supply of free stuff becoming more and more available!

They do to a certain extent. Seanchai's is what? TGirls.com, right?!

As to free site owners, they don't producer their own content, so they give away someone else's STOLEN content to bring in their traffic, viewers to which they can sell other products.

Seriously. What's so hard to understand?! :?

OMG! Advertising!

Do you watch television? Do you watch commercials? Do you sometimes buy the products and sometimes not?
