You are reinterpreting history here to fit with your undesired outcome. Similar to someone getting their ass handed to them in a basketball game and then going, "I wasn't really trying." 2 years ago when you announced your cam site and your partnership with Sex.com you were singing a different tune. I get that you want to save face, but you are not helping yourself out here by clinging to these delusions.

Your cam site does not bring in that much. Not even close. I really doubt you are netting more than 3 figures a day. You know this and so does Cams.com who sees all your sales since you use all their models.

Well, we were paying 250K a month to Lycos for over 2 years and buying all their adult key words and sending it all to our Links pages and making our webmasters hundreds of thousands of dollars, just that should tell you it was a pretty lucrative business for starting late. Good thing we didn't listen to those negative words.
So how much do you spend a day on advertising on your cam site? Yeah, thought so...

Comparing starting your AVS in 1996 to a failed cam site you started 12 years later is nuts.

You got in early and made a ton on your AVS stuff and then sat on it. Now you are trying to play catch up with an industry that left you behind 5-7 years ago.

I agree with that statement, but there is a fine line between being positive and being delusional.
