Too much of too low quality.

Totally agree!
I think there's a lot of webmasters (declining rapidly) that can't accept that something that they produced 10 years ago only has a fraction of the value in todays market and instead of adapting and accepting the new reality they'd rather bitch about it daily on a messageboard.
You throw in YouTube, Twitter & Facebook for DIY self promotion and the new reality is the content (The Model) doesn't need the webmaster anymore. All they need is a decent smartphone + time and they're in business!

Kulich and Kirby argue that the adult industry has simply not given customers a chance to be honest. And while they're under no illusions that this option will put an end to piracy?or even substantially curb it?they believe history shows there's a significant amount of money on the table.
"Music piracy was running rampant in the late '90s," Kulich said. "Apple came out with a pricing model saying 'we're not going to eliminate piracy, but we believe there is a large segment that's pirating music because it is the only way to get music onto their computers.' So they created a service where they thought they could pick some of that piracy up off of the floor and make some money from it. ? We don't expect to be able to recuperate the $4 billion the industry loses each year to piracy, but it would be nice if we could recuperate a portion of it."
"I think the reason this hasn't been done before is a lot of studios feel if we're offering this content from hundreds of different producers at such a low price, that's giving away our content," he said. "As the industry has progressively lost revenue, though, these ideas are getting more and more support from the studios."
