Some webmasters make less, more specialized videos and if you can download them by the dozen off of *****, well how long is that webmaster going to last?
I'm going to stay put hoping that a turn around in the economy will make a difference, if it doesn't then I'll probably be going back to computer repair.

It's not the economy. In fact the horrible economy should actually be helping sales. In distressed times consumers look for cheap releases. Look no further than Hollywood. Paul Blart Mall Cop made $100 million plus for gods sake. Theater business is way up over this time last year before the economy tanked. People will spend money on porn if they want. They dont start looking for porn online, see something they like and decide they wont purchase based on how bad the worldwide economy is. It's impulse and as long as they have $40 in their accounts they'll make the purchase.
It has to do with a combination of free porn and the mass amount of SHITTY PORN YOU ARE TRYING TO SELL!!
It's always been shitty but in the past surfers were willing to look past it and buy anyway because they didnt have options. Now that shitty porn is available for the price its worth on tubes: FREE. And you cant blame tubes, they realize that by taking all this shitty porn they can build traffic empires that they can use to sell other items besides shitty porn.
Back in the day you actually had to have some sort of star quality, sets, production..something. Then the internet and gonzo came along and every dipshit with an HD camera and a horny ugly girlfriend decided he could be a content producer. Then normal content producers started to get cheap to compete and now you have bad porn filled with Eastern Euro skanks.
The money was great for affiliates because you didnt have to have any skill because the customer had nowhere else to turn. Now as with any industry that has started a maturity process and you actually have to work to make money. And by working I mean making higher quality content, distributing that content in a more effective manner and giving the customer a reason to actually purchase something. Again common sense.
