Yeah is for sure very smart. Many years only promoting other cam sites and then starting one on his own.
If you look and compare MFC with other cam sites he is the only one that is booming and it's because he has a totally different approach compared with other cam sites.
There is almost no innovation and most programs are still floating on a business model that once made them success. Obviously it still makes money but it will never increase again unless you change your settings.

People will pay for an experience, the market of paying 39.95 / month for access to 2500 videos getting 3 updates / day is dying, that's why cross sales became so popular.

I totally agree with you. Like Roald and others already mentioned a few times, the consumers have so many ways to spend their times plus there is so much free porn available.
I started in 2004 as one of the 1st offering live chats using Flash technology. As a Macromedia Alliance partner we wanted to make something new and unique. We did it back then and were pretty successful but faced a few big problems.
The 1st version of Flash Comm Server didn't supported load balancing features so we had to code ourselves one. Then actionscript 2 came out so we had to rewrite everything from scratch which ofcourse caused a lot of downtime > revenue looses.
Most stupid was that we wanted to offer the full user experience (full Flash) what ofcourse is dumb because of no SEO rankings.
Now the last 1.5 years I tried to develop during this fucking recession a new video chat engine engine with a new in-house group of very skilled developers. After a delay of 4-5 months it's finally up and running but it's not easy especially when you try to be innovating in times of recession.
Now I'm in the position initiate with someone a joint venture. This is for me the only way to focus on my core business and reach my targets and goals.
