this entire thread is cracking me up big time. Not that what you all are saying isn't serious, and deserving of deep thoughts. But it makes me remember so clearly the days before I actually started working with porn, and was just surfing it. Between TGPs, just plain free amateur submitted sites and newsgroups I could not see the logic of ever actually joining a pay site! When I did find a paysite back then that looked like something i really wanted to see, a simple run of the password boards and some clever brute force applications and I was in in a heartbeat. Of course I haven't done anything like that in over seven years, and sites are much better protected then they were back then, but i distinctly remember telling those around me that they would be stupid to ever buy a magazine of pay for a membership ever again

Lookit me now, unbelievable how things change

I also am an ex-non-paying-porn-for-free-surfer and still to this day I'm not sure how I switched from that to webmaster (now I pay for my content ).

One thing I do know though is for every ex-non-paying-porn-for-free-surfer that turns to the dark side there's thousands of non-paying-porn-for-free-surfers left.

Seems the webmasters are the only one's paying for porn

thats quite a paradox isn't it Trev??? heh heh I have seen some smart business people out there with exclusive content that knows exactly how to take that 'junk' traffic from TGPs and turn it into a nice bank account figure, so TGPs still work. I know there are sites that I see listed occassionally that their galleries make me want to join to see what happens. But there are others out there that do not have a clue. I have seen galleries with upwards of 5 minutes of video including the money shot listed TGPs and one link to their site

TGP owners push for more content, and higher quality
Submitters push for showing nothing but thumbs and 50 links to sponsors
It is the smart ones that balance the rules of the TGPs and their own sales.

Now hows that for D'uh LOL theres spaz pointing out the obvious
