IMHO, the free shows and tube sites have had a debilitating effect on the industry. But the greatest challenge to Affiliates has come from the exponential growth of the internet.

When the recession kicked in back in 2008 to 2009, people started looking everywhere for alternate sources of income. Building websites was a viable alternative. I switched a lot of my effort toward recruiting Affiliates, primarily for AWE.

I know. What a colossal mistake that turned out to be, when they stripped our lifetime earnings away from us.

Anyway, the Internet exploded. If I recall correctly, we hit One Billion websites and One Trillion pages of content sometime late in 2010.

At the same time, a lot of girls jumped in front of the cam for the first time. These untrained rookies, without the benefit of studio training, just didn't have the same skills and perseverance.

Still, just as all the newcomers on the Affiliate side diluted our income, their presence diluted the earnings pool for Models.

That's my theory, and I would submit the statistics support it
