My shitty content was often making up to 10 times what programs were paying for exclusive content. Without a single sale on the Internet. And there's your problem. Sponsors spent so much to get a sale, they squeezed the price they paid for content. Name the Custom Shooters making $3,000 from a single set without a video and still own that set if you disagree. Not bad for someone shooting shitty content.

Even Twistys don't pay t$3,000 a set. And that's why good shooters never turned to the Internet until they had nothing else.

My argument isn't that traffic isn't important, it is and only fools accuse me of saying other wise. My argument is that we spent too much getting it and left the customers needs behind. The level of innovation, imagination, uniqueness and porn quality in content creation is poor. So why would anyone want 30 days recurring of that stuff. Unless he had to.

And you can't base an industry on that.
