There is nothing "cheap" about targeted cpm ads on pornhub or tube8 etc.
Only expensive if you're scraping a profit.

Furthermore, its not cheap, It is slightly cheaper because the targeting and quality are much worse. Those factors are always relative to traffic price.
Still thinking like an affiliate. Diesel's "worth" is not your worth.
