the simple fact is this.
people have been predicting the end since the day after it started. each new "threat" was "different this time because..."
it was gonna end because you could find anything in news groups
it was gonna end because people abused exit consoles
it was gonna end because people hijacked home pages
it was gonna end because people were spamming
it was gonna end because people were getting fucked with installs, dialers, viruses etc
it was gonna end because visa/mc were going to pull out
it was gonna end because google images offered endless amounts of free porn
it was gonna end because P2P made downloading everything possible
it was gonna end because torrents got popular
.... it can go on forever. in fact, that list of everything that was going to kill this biz since 1996 is so fucking long, it would crash this forum trying to create it
it was always gonna end.
yet, here we are.
the business changes and evolves. it won't "end" - people paying for content won't "end"
often times the same people complaining about how things are going and the direction things are going are the same people (not necessarily escortbiz) who are doing the same shit today as they were doing 5-10 years ago and are in constant shock that its working less and less for them. the guys that got killed in a google update as if ranking well for "free teen porn" was somehow supposed to be guaranteed for life... etc etc etc etc.
