anybody who is suffering right now doesn't understand economics. there's a recession every decade. u gotta save and u gotta keep sailing into the wind.
the big question is whether webmasters are willing and able to make the changes necessary to stay in this business. it has completely changed in the last 2 years but desperate affiliates are still demanding fresh FHGs so they can submit daily. every sponsor knows that area of the business is now a dead end, but time is still being wasted on fresh affiliate tools.
meanwhile, the smarter sponsors have abandoned the affiliates and started marketing in the areas where they need to be.
now i am way over my word count for today so i have to take a shot..

The big questions are.
Is the downturn in porn anything or much to do with the recession?
If it is, will the old customers ever return?
Yes sponsors need to find new ways to promote their site. The cost of marketing a site the way it used to be done is not bearable. Some are closing their affiliates programs. Yes staying open. Are they suffering as much as some affiliates would like?
You're right the days of jumping to every affiliates wish are coming to an end.
Remember the rush for automated blogs? Today the complaint is there's not enough, they're not good enough and often not updated enough.
Those complaining aren't bright enough to realise. They're not profitable enough for many site. How long before Tube clips take the same hit? The rush of sponsors to give away hosted Tube clips seems to have slowed down.
The customer has been changing for longer than 2 years, it's just that the last 2 years the changing has really hit home. Whether the business can come up with a solution is still to be seen.
