And all these hundreds of joins a day are legit joins, right? Completely 100% REAL joins, right?

Right.

A few hundred a week put you in the top 100 for sure.

Granted there are bigger companies in the dating game as is there also cams but I think this still shows something. The money being made today from these traffic sources isn't near what some assume they are. The weaker ability to monetize traffic (as compared to before) significantly harms earnings industry wide. Basically you have something like 10x more traffic doing $2 cpm now versus 1x the traffic doing $30-$50+ cpm in 1999. This results in a relative net loss. Of course individual results vary but we're talking overall only.
Usually I don't agree with your skepticism but I concur when it comes to cams and dating. I don't believe the numbers being touted are real, legit numbers but rather where the criminal element has migrated to now that it's harder to bang cards and pre-checked cross sells with paysites. It's not smarts and talent and better marketing, that's bullshit. At the heart of it all is deception.

Sure you can make more money now with additional revenue streams but natural business diversification is NOT the same as a growing (or healthy) Industry.
