= If there was no porn on the Internet, there would be porn on the Internet. Excellent sense.

You said at one time the UK was selling printed porn to 2% of it's population. When porn came to the internet, was it not selling 1:50 or better? Who was to know or care that one day it would be the way it is now, no one was going to turn down those huge profits 10+ years ago just because it "might" become too widespread and free one day. But you can call them idiots for not being able to see the future. Get real.

The Internet couldn't convert at 2% of those who clicked on a banner, let alone 2% of the population. Still making great sense I see.

No one woke up one day and said "We have to start giving away as much free porn as possible!", it was very gradual. Evolution maybe? Do you really think it could be kept as text links forever? Like everyone is going to be thinking "Man, if I could just show some titties on the tour page I would get so many sales! But I'm going to just keep posting text links and make the same as everyone else because I can see the future 20 years from now if I show some skin and it looks bad for everyone and I have a very kind heart".

They decided the best way to sell it was to give it away.
The only thing that stopped the progress of how much they gave away was server and BW costs.

What would your solution to car crashes be? Make cars illegal?
Should dealerships stop giving test drives? Wouldn't want them getting a taste of owning the car!
You live in an imaginary world.

My solution is pay affiliates what they deserve, 5% at best. Give them minimum support. Delete ll the hosted affiliates stuff on sponsors servers. And with the money saved make the members area the most important part of the business.
Slashing prices also.
Will it happen? No. Because the lunatics have taken over the asylum and the business is still being formed by the least important people in it.
Robbie said in a few posts before that if he went, it would be tough to replace him. If I went it would be easy. I think this illustrates the bloated importance affiliates have of themselves. If they went there would be no need to replace them. If the shooters went, who would shoot the porn.
People have learned by now you can't give a camera to anyone and expect decent porn to be churned out. Affiliates are nothing but a barrier between customers and sellers.
Apologies to Robbie, I thought he only did TGP sites and his sites today. It seems he has worked at other things in porn, thank you for educating me.
