It's been like that 10 years ago just as well. Today we have tubes, back then we had MGPs. It doesn't matter. Sales are made using the same principles. You create a market. No one needed refrigerators because we had ice factories, yet there are no ice factories existing today. If you believe tubes are killing the industry then I can tell you MGP were no different. Actually they were fucking awkward and to top it off you couldn't put a clickable ad inside the video. Tubes are great. Those who know how to make money off of that have no problems.

On ccbill for example I have ratios of 1:500. On paysites. Today. It depends what you push, what traffic you have.

To me revenue never was a problem. It was the traffic sustainability. If I had the traffic I had the sales. The only thing I did in the last 10 years was to adapt for traffic. All the rest is still old school.

What's funny is that the good stuff isn't for sale because buyers believe a multiple of 1 is what is justified while they cannot point out the reasons that go beyond those in mainstream yet multiples are 100% higher there. The good stuff still makes money year after year and therefore isn't for sale at 1 year multiple unless sellers need to liquidate badly. The industry also doesn't have any centralized well organized vetted marketplace for this. The same wild west was in existence in mainstream years ago.
