This implied claim of there being more money in the industry now due to dating and cams versus in the past when recorded porn was king has in fact been made before. I don't believe it was decisively settled however there are prominent industry figures on the record stating that they believe the overall industry has in fact shrunk. It would be really interesting to do a in-depth analysis though.
As you probably know there was a major leak at a dating company recently. Well some figures are being released in the media and some of these include revenue numbers from various tubes. I've seen some of these figures and frankly it isn't as much as I would have thought. In some cases I did more revenue per week selling AVS sites circa-1999 than some of these tubes did in selling the company's dating product product in one week during 2015. The tubes in fact sent more free members in one month to the company's dating site than I used to get clicks to my site during a whole year back in 1999.
So how could I have made more still with just some shitty AVS site while sitting in a college dorm drinking beer? Well I don't know how far back you go in adult but it really is true that back in 1999 you could have a 1:100 ratio, a 10% ctr, and make $100+ per average sale. This wasn't just a few master marketers doing this but pretty much everyone at the time. To understand, take these numbers and use them for your own traffic right now. Estimate your earnings under those numbers. Now compare to what you are actually making. Do this and you should see that it is unlikely that what you are saying is true...
