I mean, I am kinda starting to feel like no one else experienced the dot-bomb.

I go back even farther than that. When I was renting adult VHS tapes in 1985, and buying them for as low as $3 each. (It cost about $.79 wholesale for a blank tape, and another 25-30 cents for label and box...)

Does anyone actually believe that content will "hold value," when the delivery/distribution cost is a fraction of a penny? Please.

You can talk about it all you want, scream about it, sue about it, but in the end, even the producers will give their own content away for pennies.

Today, I buy bulk DVDs, individually packaged for retail sale, delivered to my door, physically, for $1 or less a piece. Your belief in "unique" content is just that, a belief. The value "online," is the expanded personality, the "girlfriend maybe" experience. That "expanded fleshiness" to the content.
Unless you give a "value added" experience, you have nothing more than just another clip of porn video.

(I think I said that 11 years ago.......Yes, I'm sure of it, and based our business model on it)
