This is the best post you've ever made.

The revenue cookie has a limited size. Online porn, if you review stats, is predominately bought by North American residents. Then EU, then, AU, then Japan (they tend to buy Japanese). Might be slightly wrong and people can correct me.

So the number of players in the business has an enormous effect on the income of everyone. Even a very small player earning enough to give him an evening job is taking a bite at the cookie. If you have a 1,000 of them working as affiliates earning $1,000 a month. They are taking $1,000,000 a month from the full timers. (Numbers as an example)

If you have 1,000 affiliates making just enough to work from home, earning $5,000 a month that's $5,000,000 taken out of the pockets of the rest of the affiliates.

Then relate that to paysite. How many porn paysites are there. From those like mine make a few $1,000 to Brazzers? If all the small fish disappeared, none of the buyers would.

Now add in the main way of promoting themselves, from top to bottom.

Too give away free porn.

Not only are they all taking a bite from the cookie, there main way of promoting themselves is making the cookie smaller.

It doesn't matter if you own a small site or Brazzers. You're all suffering. You're all biting from the same cookie and you're all making the cookie smaller.

Solution is to move on from what you've given away for free for a decade.

Or keep going and watch the cookie get smaller. Today many are dropping out, so less biters. Is the the cookie still shrinking? Depends who you talk to.

MisterPeabody. This is why you just make enough to clothe and feed your family. If you could jump a higher bar, you would of made so much more. Are you confident you could of jumped it?
