I think it's who you are and the things you know that count...I've always made great money at this. And the last year I'm doing better than ever. Up until 2007 I had two equal partners. I brought in a ton of money. Now I have no partner, 1/10th of the traffic, but I'm still grossing 2/3 of what I did back then. Which needess to say means I'm netting twice as much. I have not YET seen the economy affect me in any way in this business or any other entertainment business. Not saying it can't. Just haven't seen it yet. And the point about the strip clubs not being the same as buying porn may be valid. But that wasn't the point that shanesworld was making.
He was hypothesizing that all luxury items such as porn would be hurt because people had to spend all their money on survival. I pointed out that I have not found that to be the case over the years.
So you're right that it's not like strip clubs...people spend a whole lot more on porn online. As far as people's spending habits...so far I haven't seen a big difference between brick & mortar and online, with the exception that they seem to spend more money over a longer period of time with online porn because of the convenience of the thing.
Now that I've spouted all that...watch the economy completely tank, everybody lose their credit cards, and fail to pay their ISP bill.
Just my luck...
