4) We are broke.
5) We don't know how to run an affiliate program, design, drive traffic, be affiliates, have no access to affiliates, so should of opened a paysite or been affiliates.
6) Because being an affiliate or sponsor is a sure fire way of making millions with crappy content cheap on a site.
Can you see why we stuck to the side of the business we knew, were well established in, paid us far better for our crappy content and successful. We were consistently being approached by large programs who thought a great price and all they could afford for exclusive solo girl sets and video was $300?
And so many affiliates who worked for other people, made barely enough to pay their rent and few made 6 figure incomes.

You are correct in some of those things while others were said to you out of anger, spite or malice.
Thommy (of all people) nailed it. You should have opened a paysite/affiliate program AND done what I suggested: tell a good story. Maybe Paul the ex-Pat photographer who scours the world for hot young repressed girls yearning to express their forbidden sexuality. Of COURSE the 'content' is 'crap' - it's meant to be. It comes from deep inside formerly-Communist USSR countries where it's still 1966.
Again: you had the content but you didn't have the vision. So enjoy your retirement.
