But there's always peaks and valleys when it comes to webcams. Its good to diversify income.
If and when webcam sites decide they have enough traffic/income without affiliates (does any big earner ever feel they're earning enough?) I'm ready to adapt when needed.

What is that job? Unless it's in the public sector it's at risk. Given that most Americans want the Government to spend less, it's not 100% safe and likely to pay badly.

As for consumer income, it concerns me. My job, for example, has a lot of positions open. We hired 40 people the other day. Of those, only 4 passed the piss test (drug test). And of those, only 2 showed up for work. Idk wtf is going on with American workers. Drug abuse seems to be more rampant than its ever been, in nearly all walks of life. But that's good for shitholes like McDonalds. They'll hire anybody and don't drug test people. And they're not going to pay their workers a dime more than they're required to.
But I'll feel there will always, in some form, be a market for basic human desires. Sex being a powerful one. Everyone's money, regardless of income, eventually trickles out of their wallets. Streams flow into rivers. Rivers into oceans. Oceans have whales. I've caught a few of them.

Consumer income is already starting to hit hard on many sectors at the bottom end. Walmart closing stores is the tip of the iceberg.
As for taking on 40 and giving them a blood test, what did they fail on? Cannabis isn't a big problem, I would suggest your company changes its interview techniques.
Sex will always sell, do you plan to be a webcam model? Because the likelihood of you being able to sell sex as an affiliate are getting slimmer.
There are threads here all the time of people blowing a gasket when Google changes its algorithms, Twitter, FB, YT, and other sites ban porn. When sponsors drop affiliates, I estimate 95% here are seeing their incomes drop and 50% won't be here in a couple of years and probably working for a low wage. Yet people throw hate at others who have had the same happen to them.
The number of people who begrudge supporting fellow Americans and assume they've all become lazy overnight is stupid. A man who has worked 10-40 years isn't lazy. He's willing to work if given a job that's not flipping burgers or working behind a counter. Cut or remove his benefits and take a tax cut to buy more goods from people working $1 an hour is what the 1% want you to do. It makes their profits higher.
And don't think for a minute that this is the end game. It still has a few decades to run.

Seems the 1% are till making more money as they lose staff.
None of these charts show the end game, just a progression. How much is this costing in loss business, taxes, and futures? How much is it costing you in taxes or debt?
Your taxes and debt.
