What is damn odd is I in essence created a near tube style site, just without user submitted content. It was also an experiment I was doing and I wanted to see if a free "paysite" could sustain itself off of nothing more than upsells, not even using an email mailing campaign or login scheme.
Needless to say even with just posting sponsor provided content and hosting it myself that even after a year it was still loosing money each and every month. I did not however attempt to sell Dating sites as they were just not that popular or known several years back. So I stopped updating and began to disassemble the material as I could not make enough money upselling to porn sites. Cams did ok, but not well enough to justify the site though.
That was my experiment and I knew I stumbled onto a fucked business model years ago thanks to that. I went into it expecting to either win big or fail in a spectacular fashion, I did the latter.
