The 2000s were probably my best years as well.
The reason for the problems today isn't piracy.
It's this industries inability to compete with it.
Nothing has changed in 12 years to what we do. Build a cheap site, spend a fortune throwing traffic at it and let the devil care.
The fact that affiliates were earning so much shows the problem. Sponsors were left with too little to build up their business with. You were on Revshare, 50% or 60% or more?
Paying out that kind of money to anyone who does little than direct people looking for porn to porn is ludicrous. But is became a game of leap frog. Until the leapers hit the brick wall.
The problem today is
to much free porn and too little reasons to get a credit out. That was the same when you were making millions. If your sites or efforts were converting 1-100 of the surfers consuming the product. You were feeding 99 with a reason not to by.
Complaining about how you can't make a living today because of free porn, what ever guise it is, is ironic.
