One. Try going back to 1992 when I took over. You still can't find one person that says we screwed them over.

2. I was around for "the good ol' days" and for me those days sucked. Doing much better now and I think the traffic situation these days is way more egalitarian and professional. The so called good ol days were way more wild, wild west, suffered from more cronyism, more boorish with ego, more shady with scammers; I hated "the golden age". For me, that was the Age of the Law Suit. Nowadays is far more professional imo, more corporate, but in a positive not negative way.

3. If you can't figure out how to make money with adult content then stop making excuses for failure and try and spend the energy determining the recipes for success. Most of the examples listed are also ways companies are making money. Just like the "stolen password" sites of yesteryear, what you think you are seeing may be ways legit copyright holders/companies are profiting by using. People are making money still. Different people perhaps, but same cheeseburger, so to speak. As I like to say, sex is like food and people have to eat.
