Your point on MacDonalds, Coke and marketing is still irrelevant when applied to porn.

These companies have millions to spend, online porn doesn't. End of debate. Porn sponsors who boast having paid out over $1 million to affiliates, spent it after the sales were made and the money was in their bank account.

Maybe these products have an attraction for the consumer, you can't see.

Still if the money wasn't the issue. The marketing is very professional, involves more than advertising and hasn't resulted in less people buying their product. Maybe because it wasn't 90% based on giving away free burgers and Coke.

I think the disagreement between what I think is marketing and what others think is one of job specifications. I must admit marketing my porn over the years was easy. I retained clients for decades and didn't need to keep constantly replacing them. However have worked with professional marketing people and it involved a lot more than just carrying or placing adverts.

Can a lot of what the "marketing people in online porn" be done by people who are unemployed on minimum wage? What parts of it are so skilled, how much is involved in that part and how much is simple grunt work?
