Having been in 2 different high profile UPPER MANAGEMENT positions with companies that I KNOW generated 4 - 5000+ joins per day, I can tell you that it ain't so today.
1 company is basically out of business, and its' owner has fled the country
The other is still around, but doesnt have nearly the position in this industry it once did.
Times have changed, and there's NO DOUBT about that!
The thing is - YOU CAN'T discount or ignore the AVS's - the top 2 are NOT Bullshit 2 bit players - and there are a few other players of noteworthy size ... AND the live 1 on 1 video conferencing companies have TONS of repeat buyers - This I KNOW as well!
Also, take into consideration the abundance of mail that's sent perpetually around the clock, and the fact IS that there are TONS of surfers that CONSTANTLY buy memberships every month.
I'd say KimmyKim's math ain't too far off!
IMHO!
