Yes he is. I never meant to say he wasn't making a lot of money. I'm saying he isn't making the kind of money we did. And he definitely isn't making the kind of money that you probably could with that kind of traffic.
I think there are a lot of guys in our industry with tons more experience marketing and working traffic and understanding how to sell than the pirates and their auto-pilot script user uploaded crap.
If I had that kind of traffic, I know I could do a lot better than those pre-paid ad spots and his $9 "membership". Not saying that's anything to sneeze at. I just think I could do a lot better.
I'm thinking that you and a lot of other guys could too.
BUT...we would all still be cut off at the knees for paysite sales. Just never gonna be able to make that kind of money on a pirate site.
Damn...it wasn't that long ago that paysite sales dwarfed cams and dating. I know those days aren't coming back until new laws are passed and treaties signed between countries etc.
But what we all think of as a lot of money now...isn't really as much as we were all making a few years ago. Hell man...we had already made millions just in the 90's. And then we made even more in the early 2000's when "reality" websites took off.
The cam and dating money that we all are basically living off of now...that was just drinking money a decade ago.
These pirates have cut off the biggest revenue generating source (paysites) just by the very nature of what they are.
Not trying to be all nostalgic and thinking about "glory days" etc. (though I know that's how it's coming off)...I'm just saying that one guy on here claimed that the owner of hotfile is making more money now than we did then. No, he's not. Nobody is.
