If everybody gave away free widgets this does not mean there are no buyers for someone else's gadgets.
Unfortunately, much of the free commoditized content is also someone else's "stolen content." At some point -- there won't be anything left to steal. And at that point this scheme will collapse however the buyers are still going to be out there just somewhere else with a new content model.
An affiliate is just the contracted agent of the principal -- a sales referral agent. As song as the referrals are of a lawful nature -- money is money. Paid advertising is just another revenue model -- get over it. These are integral to building a content approval base of users -- branding. |
How many Tube sites do you advertise on?
Ad Blockers will kill Tubes long before they run out of porn. A new scene to a consumer is a scene they have never seen before.
So affiliates can afford to buy traffic on their percentile and still make money selling porn? That won't last long as big companies outbid them for ad space.
The future for all of the porn industry relies on companies promoting ad blockers to the level that makes Tubes lose money. And any other form of free porn paid for by advertising. Then we go back to selling porn, instead of giving it away to scrape pennies off 1,000s of surfers.
