The people who have 'left the Industry' have either taken their wealth and moved onto other things or were never 'Lifers' to begin with. No, I think it's because the Industry is undergoing a massive consolodation of resources, which means less 'players' (not 'playas') and a tighter focus on in-housr revenues. Meaning less affiliates are required or sought after which means less affiliates to keep GFY pumping.
Also remember that back in the Golden Days circa 2000-2005 you didn't need to be a 'real webmaster' to make even decent money online. I know because it's this 'hey even an amateur can do it!' mentality is what drove me to choose the Adult Industry in the first place. Now, these days, with a medium-sized company, I am a 'professional' meaning this is how I make my money and feed my family. I think many 'amateur' affiliates have moved on since it now takes real focus, energy and resources to even hold steady in this ever-changing biz.
PS: I used to wank it to your ex-wife, pre-boob job, back in the '90's. I used to have this 'thing' (fetish?) for girls with short hair. LOL Thanks Layla for all the sperm! :D

OK... Lets play sematics - The 'Everyday' biz as most new it is dead....
I'm not saying YOUR personal biz is dead - Or that porn is dead overall... But the fundamental basis has shifted so far, its unrecognisable...
Don't get me wrong - I fully respect that you ACTUALLY create things.... What I'm really saying is that old school GFY biz (A guy putting an affiliate banner online, and then saying 'Look Mom! IM IN PORN !!!) Is no longer a viable option... And that, to me, was a HUGE part of the loss of GFY activity....
Things just are NOT the same these days. Lay & I travelled the fucking WORLD together, and although I didn't personally appear on screen, we were making more money than we could spend !
Honestly, I shit you not, I went to a drawer in a hotel once, looking for a pair of socks, and there was SO MUCH MONEY in it... There was no room for socks ! (The good old days)
But the point I'm trying to make, is that even if I met 'Lay.2.0' so to speak... That we couldn't EVER do it again - Worlds changed, industries changed, and the MONEY ISNT THERE ANYMORE
But thats life - Shit changes - All I'm really saying to the Metaguy is DONT blame people like me for GFY being 'DEAD'...
Its the bigger picture
