Cory,
While I agree with a lot of what you say, you seem to have the mentality that money is the only thing that matters (in your first section).
Yes, I do have problems sending to a program where no stats are available, it leads to the fact that something shady might be happening. I am a firm believer in business ethics and I have pulled money making traffic to sponsors who I find doing things unethical. So at the end of the day, yes I care about how much I make, but I care how I earned it. And I prefer not to give more money to a program that is doing unethical things.
As for the shows, it's about building on existing relationships and doing enough business to earn your ROI. We have seen the industry change trends from large, all out parties to more intimate dinners. There is a reason for this.
As for content, you are right on both ends. I use to sell big dick content, the old school, non-reality stuff. Still burns a ton of bandwidth and there are still tours rocking on ratios with this content. Sometimes, old school is better. Exclusive is good if you plan on exploiting it ... get the use on your paysite, then expand to VOD programs and content plugins.
Okay, my thoughts ... that's it. : )
