XBIZ and approximately 70% of all respondents to the cited poll also seem to believe that industry totals are now below $10 billion.

If someone has real meaningful data showing that porn is thriving and has grown since 2005 let them show it. The only one who has even halfway made the attempt that I know of is Fabian from Manwin. Personal attacks, calling people Paul Markham, and talking about how you are doing great isn't evidence beyond the small piece of the market you control and in your own mind.
Here's what it is:

paysite sales are not dead. Most affiliates' traffic sources are. Get the right traffic, for the right sites, and you'll make bank. Just like it always was, and just like it will always be.

Traffic was, is, and always will be, absolute king. Yes of course ratios are worse now on average, but this is a stone cold fact: right here, in august 2013, the right traffic for non-generic porn does 1:100 or less. Do what you gotta do to get some

Look at your original source of traffic in 'insert last good year here', and how it's dropped today, and there's your answer, same as always. It's the 1 constant.
