Just as an example, might be a bad one but the point is about traffic.... A button on Ynot used to cost $10k-$20k, for 1 month, and I made millions back. GFY's top ad was $1.5k and now I think is $2k. Point being, the services back then were so much larger than GFY has ever been, that it's not even in question if you were around then.

Anyway, the topic at hand was with Paul and related to things always change, that everything going on today has always been going on and that this Industry WILL change again, the traffic & sales WILL move again.

That's the point I was trying to make to Paul. As technology changed, it has gotten harder, less free traffic to tap into every day, more of it bottled up, thus less people can just walk in and make a dime and of course more people will leave because it's harder.

That doesn't mean free porn or piracy did that... we can see with own eyes that it changed.
