Because affiliates get given the content, doesn't mean it didn't cost someone money to create. The argument that some can make money from using shit content shows what's wrong with the industry and people going for the fast buck. Turning off future buys.
The argument 30 joins a day is serious bank is stupid. It costs more than 30 joins a day to create good content on a continuous scale.
There are many more reasons content is king but I've given up trying to persuade people who will only work as affiliates for sponsors who give them content, have good content to convert people and spend a lot on content to retain them.

It's hard to be an idiot in 17 ways in a single comment but you manage to pull it off every time.
If I sent a million people looking for porn to weight loss pills, get rich quick schemes or t-shirts I would make some money. If you published 1 million of the best images and videos ever seen on your personal blog you'd make fuck all.
When I got into this business in 2001 I posted 5 or 6 paragraph pages with 10 links to ifriends and used a SINGLE 600x800 image of my clothed wife. It promoted ifriends the site, the idea, the concept of girls getting naked on camera. I made $900 in 3 days and the following weeks check was $5,200. I didn't get to GFY until years later but even then I ran into several others that promoted the same things in very freakishly similar ways. A lot of this was due to my sites being linked from clickcash as a top affiliate and being copied 1000 times. Over the years revshare was added, other sites came and went and we cashed in for nearly 20 years now.
Most of those years you were somewhere crying and blabbing on about how my traffic meant shit compared to your magnificent content. You put a paysite up to prove that your magnificent content was the key. You made the claims of hiring idiots to manage your traffic (the easy part) back when you put the piece of shit website filled with turd content that was a decade out of style
AND YOU FAILED. Meanwhile I still control large chunks of traffic that have made me money in a plethora of ways for years on end as do many here. Even shit sites that were put up on a whim in 2010 make hundreds to thousands per month hands free. Your content sits in a Dropbox waiting on some sucker that doesn't know it's 1980's style, propped out bullshit to buy it.
At some point in all these discussions you should have adapted your thinking. This thread alone has enough information for you to swallow your pride and admit you didn't and don't know what in the fuck you are doing. I can right now go put up a website using hotlinked content available on reddit to cross promote webcams and make more money a month than you sell in shit you say costs you tens of thousands or more to create. Zero long time webmasters here would be impressed by that because THEY CAN TOO.
It is you. It has always been you. Nobody would care that it's you if not for your smug ass attitude telling all of US that we are wrong and you are right. You aren't right, you were never right and you act like you are teaching us a lesson. Old man, get the fuck off of our lawn.
