This is what happens when a bunch of idiots with zero business experience run an industry. Those who do know how to run a business will survive. Those who don't are dying or are already dead.
We have given away the only thing we have to sell and we've given it away in such a large number that we will never be able to pull it back in. What we didn't give away for free, we've had stolen and someone else gave it away for free, and we supported it.
Simply amazing.

Knowing how to run a business is just part of it. You also need to know about how the product works, why and what consumers will buy and how the industry works. Many people on the Adult Net knew how to program and drive traffic.
Also customer needs was put low the list of requirements. I remember making a suggestion we should open our shows to customers on certain days. I was ridiculed. The last thing people wanted to do was meet customers. It's better to sit round a pool sipping iced drinks and chatting to ourselves than meet the only person who matters in a business built around selling the CUSTOMERS. Until the customer starts to wander away.
The writing has been on the wall for years. So point me to sites or sponsors doing anything really different today?
