And since the OP is MUTT then I am going to assume that Mutt is NOT Mind Geek. LOL So again (as with your solo girls analogy) what is 'realistic'? COULD a paysite make millions? Sure - but what's the cost? Is Mutt going to invest that much in his new paysite?
I think we are arguing about different things here. I am sorry but when it comes to mega-sites by BIG companies I do not compare them with what a smaller-sized company (or an individual) could achieve.
So for the last time (since I run 82 paysites and have been doing this for six years now at a time when things are DEcreasing, not INcreasing so obviously I know nothing): an average sized paysite without anything special will garner between 500-1000 Members in its' first year (if everything is done correctly and people like the site) with a profit potential of 100K+. Could it be MORE? Yes - but only if you throw tons of money at it.
Final note: If anyone thinks the paysite business in 2015 is "thriving" or "growing" or "flourishing" then you are high on drugs. LOL

If you reread the first page and dont just focus on what you think he meant out of his original post , you will understand what was being asked. And mutt is not the average webmaster BTW. ANd if he were to do it, he wouldnt' do it on a small budget compared to others. This is the guy who performed better than every other person in his niche and spent wayyyyy more than everybody else on his projects. Hes not going to suddenly be a quantity over quality guy. If you look at the quality of his content, his eye for quality is extremely high. So i dont see how that'd change once you change to hardcore. BTW, you are also answering what you think he can make which wasn't the question. His question if you dont want to re-read the first page was, what is a realistic number of those that are succeeding in 2015
He did mention high quality content, you show me a hardcore site with very high quality content and competent marketing that failed? Is it the norm? I cant' think of any, especially not if that project was their main concern. Maybe we have a different view on whats high quality ;) I dont find any of your content high quality. I find x-art high quality. Hopefully that doesn't sound like a knock, im just trying to give you and others a better idea of what he meant. What one might think is high quality and what others think is high quality could definitely differ, so im giving you examples of what he considers high quality
