You did well IMO. Long ago when it was in it's heyday sometime between 1999-2002 I read somewhere (I believe here on this forum) of an affiliate I think talking about how he was getting out of porn. He was asked why and he mentioned the ratios rising and asked what people were going to do when it became 1:1000 or 1:2000. At the time it was such a bizarre thing to say and most people would have assumed it was some kind of joke. I had this funny feeling in my stomach as I read it and briefly considered he had a point but I eventually dismissed it with a "naaaaa". You see, back then the rhetoric was that even if that happened there were millions of new people getting on the internet each day so that would make up for it. It appeared that things would only grow and grow with a future so bright you had to wear shades.

For the hell of it I've tried a few times to find that message to find out more about who the hell that person was but it was so long ago that I can't remember the exact wording of it and it's like finding a needle in a haystack.
