OK this is the downside. For a year or two a lot of affiliates with some traffic left won't send it to this network. It simply won't pay them $100 a sign up so they won't send.

As there importance dwindles and the news gets out of this type of deal they will find it tougher and tougher than they do now to get a sign up. Traffic means sweet FA if it doesn't buy.

The other downside is it has to be content owners or content buyers who run this. Anyone splitting profits with a content owner simply won't make it pay. And what's the point of splitting it with a content owner when content is so cheap? Why split all future payments when you can buy the scene for pennies?

Yes I see it being done in the future. Better than I did it. But it will come and it will work. Maybe someone who owns lots of content and has loads of content like Manwin will see the point of doing it and not paying affiliates or content owners. Then upselling happy $5 customers to a $30 site. Or another $5 site. Costs can be adjusted to suit.
