It was just about 10 years ago that I sat down and corresponded with Phillip Morris company and some vodka company (can't remember exactly which one now) and tried my damndest to get them to do ad spots with me on al4a and ampland.
They were so anti-porn that they wouldn't even agree to a free trial with me linking them up for a week just to show them what we could do!
So yeah, if Kevin can take that huge ball of traffic that Mansef/Manwin has thus far been unable to monetize very well (how can they? paysites aren't gonna sell that great off of it for obvious reasons and cam/dating is played out) and sell prepaid ad spots to mainstream...then that is going to open up opportunity for ALL of us.
This has the potential to be something that can make some serious money for me and all the other people who have spent years and years building their sites and brands. Doesn't mean much for all those search engine "webmasters". But for real old school webmasters this could be very nice.
Even with my comparably small traffic I could easily see a very nice paycheck on prepaid ads if this leads to other companies following the lead of "Middlemen"

Agreed!
Check out this thread:
Question about Middle Men and the Mob
I know and like KB (therefore I choose to currently separate the person from the role), although until I see proof that Manwin is truly on the up-and-up (which remains to be seen), I will be watching them closely, and be reminding people about their Mansef ties:
With that said, if the new biz model is to be free porn subsidized by mainstream ads, well I'm all for that. I already have plans devised along that route myself.
Personally, I wish the LA Times would invest some time into investigating the shady dealings of Mansef, and the new arrangement with Manwin. That could make a helluva story.
