you sum up in one post why you will never ever get the internet.
things change so fast on the internet what might sell one week on one site might literally wont the next week. doesn't mean things wont sell next week, but you have to be on top of things and be supple.
what if you bought a year on pornhub and the next day it got banned from google. that wouldn't make you a good businessman, that would make you a fool.
stop trying to use horse and buggy experience in the space age and go finish your puzzle.

They're unsure of the value of the ad for longer than a few months. If they forward booked 3, 6, 12 months it would be a great sign.
So "most" companies forward book. Which leaves you space to sell.
The fact that they need you to sell space isn't a good sign. Most advertising personnel in "papermags from the 80s" were little more than order takers. The space was so good it had to be pre booked and selling it wasn't required. It was supplied. The last thing they needed was some person going around trying to sell space.
Yes online ads can be rotated, magazines could of increased pages of adverting, but there's still space to be had and some people don't like it enough to cancel and others don't like it enough to only renew every month. The Tubes could just offer 6 months with a discount which is your cut and then you're not needed.
There was a guy on here recently spamming Tube ads and hitting people up on ICQ. Not a good sign.
