Sadly there are 20 times more more buyers who will buy content for $60 than pay $1200 for it exclusive.

Yes Dean got more, but he could never get into the market of Penthouse level. This was the market he was aiming at. Stefan could never get $3,000 for a set non exclusive from magazines. This was a market we regularly sold to.

We were a team of 5 people, shooting and scouting for new models. We had a large studio. We could only afford that because of the high price magazines pay. Don't tell me otherwise, Max Candy and Stefan worked from short term rental apartments and their home.

They claim the industry isn't shrinking and say the fact models now have to shoot for themselves instead of professionals is the reason it has grown. Models are shooting for themselves because 10,000s of paysites have gone bust and have no alternative if they want to earn money. There is far less money in self shot amateur porn than well shot professional porn.

They also point to the rise of cams. There has been a small rise in cams but to think that small rise can replace the millions who used to buy a membership everyday is stupid. The industry has shrunk because most buyers now consume porn for free. A billion people on tubes had to come from somewhere and they came from buying porn to getting ti for free.

So why do you still insist I should have opened a paysite? Great affiliates and traffic sellers couldn't manage it. Not Rochard, Thommy or any of the people telling me I should have done it. PN is making a living from picking up up defunct paysites for dimes or doing a split on profits. He offered me that way back when he started.
