This thread makes me LOL.
Look ive been in just about all corners of the industry from tgp, mgp, tube, forum, blogs, mobile, dating, cams, program for a short time, etc.
Some sectors are dieing, no doubt about it, some sectors are doing "ok" but overall not in growth mode, some of gotten red hot then cooled off but still good, while others are in growth mode. I know thats many examples but its the truth.
I dont think anybody here is wrong, its just most of you arent right.
Adult is in many ways better then ive ever seen it in my 6.5 years, in many ways it sucks big time. Bottom line is there are fewer people, making more money. It used to be much more love spread wider in the past. All this talk about having to "e-whore" to make money at cams
I wouldnt have the slightest clue how to e-whore and ive done very well selling cams over the last years.
One thing is for sure, the industry has moved more back to how it probably started. Much more aggressive marketing / adverts. When I came in it was customer = treat with upmost respect and dont piss him off. Now its alot different but people deal with it cause the surfer experience is much better. Atleast the tubes have in a sense banded together in a way of being aggressive in their advertising due to high costs, trying to grow, and of course profit.
Im not necessarily talking about illegal tubes btw. Also not talking about shady ways of money, talking multiple popunders, IM ads, flashing iframes, video player ads, etc.
