I will agree that the large companies don't look for affiliates like they used to. Doing deals with or their own Tube sites has replaced the need for 1000s of paysites and affiliates. Does that mean the business is bigger or smaller? Well from the perspective of people who used to b site owners and affiliates it's far smaller. Can all that be replaced by a few large companies?
Online is booming and sales have never been so high. We no longer can exist without social media, online shopping, betting, dating, restaurants, bars and hotels guides, etc. Porn is now a media that's easier to get for free than it is to buy.

you still donīt get the reality.
in your eyes someone who is in porn have to sell porn. but porn revenues are not the only revenues you can make WITH porn.
and porn users are consumers like all others.
i would recommend you to go to a big "nonadult show" like AW asia in bangkok.
you face around 3000 affiliates there that do mostly not even have an own website.
and this guys are doing MUCH more revenue with traffic they are buying from pornsites as all porn affiliates together.
do you think octoberfest would get that many million people if they charge an entrance fee? do you think that all this people are only there to drink beer?
do you think free TV would exist when people have to pay for the movies?
and do you believe that revenues in freeTV are around 100 times more as they are in pay TV?
and you think there are no producers anymore?
ohoh - there are MUCH MORE producers now as we had in the "good old times".
maybe you never heard from them and it is also not obligate to know them because they are so many and they become more and more every day.
it is the good old rule of supply and demand.
people like you who have always thought that you only have to increase the offer to create more demand have always lost.
especially since you know the internet from a time when only groups with high purchasing power could afford it. but the internet has become cheaper since your early years and has therefore attracted groups with low purchasing power.
they may have less purchasing power, but they also have to spend money. just maybe not for porn and they are ten thousand times the size of the rich target group.
you think there are no business boards anymore?
well, affiliatefix.com has reached the 100.000 subscribed members in august. and they are not the only one existing.
and no there are not only mainsteam guys. i get a lot of buyers from there for our porn traffic and you will see also all the other big porn names there to get customers for traffic or find affiliates for their programs.
what really has passed are you and all the other howlers who believed evolution would stand still for them.
