BUT I see sales as doing GREAT for those of us that have content and girls that people actually WANT - not shit they are tricked into joining.
All you guys who complain about piracy and tubes wiping out the biz are just plain wrong - you werent selling shit people actually wanted, thats why your biz is suffering.

I've seen so many people say stuff like this then in a year or two they often leave the business either having shut down or they sell out to someone. You don't sell if things are going well and you see good times ahead.
I've seen many affiliates say the same thing. Then months later they are asking for loans, talking about getting a job somewhere and about how they were always part time or I find out elsewhere in their own words that they were lying and they make 1/5th of what they claim.
It seems like there are so many people here just blowing smoke up each other's ass. It's definitely better for the paysite operator than the affiliate though. Provided you are willing to let millions view your content just to make a couple sales. I'm not sure how viable that model is in the long term. It'll be interesting.
