At the same time, as Sean said, giving away a ridiculous amount of free content for a membership site that doesn't have that much to begin with doesn't make sense.

And as Ken said, gay members do tend to be loyal if you treat 'em decently, so giving away a bit of content to get them to join makes sense.

Only problem is... if a ton of sites do post a ton of scenes, it may start to impact memberships, because there will be so much free content that people will whack off to the bunch of short clips instead of joining a site... but we went through the same thing with TGPs, so I think the industry will find a way around that problem as well.

I truly hope your right Chip, would be nice to see some self regulation on this issue especially but what I see is people wanting to give out larger and larger vids for free and trying to say this will not impact sales, and even saying it will help sales.

I really have little problem with 30 second clips, yet when you start talking about clips over 3 minutes then I can see nothing good coming out if this for most of us that run members sites.
