So there are as many affiliates, doing as well, making as many sales as there was 15 years ago. Boards are flourishing, GFY is as active as ever and there's no shrinkage in the porn affiliate game.
The reality and I won't use the word if. Are boards have died through lack of use, GFY is slower than it has ever been, ad space on boards no longer paid the bills and there are no new ones opening.
Tubes taking out a billion surfers daily by supplying them free porn has reduced sales. That does not mean no sales are made, it means less are made. The next big section are the premium sites, Brazzers, Met-Art, etc. They soak up a lot of sales. The figures you say "if" you did are more in line with one of those sites the reality is you don't.
But you're this personal when I point out a fact that 1,000 of affiliates have migrated to the mainstream, got into other jobs or doing less. So let's take out the personal and look at the state of the industry. That is that for porn the affiliate side is shrinking.
I cannot get into the porn biz five years earlier than I did thus riding that "Golden Era" to sweet retirement. So you admit is was possible to retire on the money made pre Tubes.  |
You have zero clue how many sales I do daily, and you never will. Must eat you up inside. LOL
Your point Paul seems to be: things are not as good as they were 15 years ago. The answer?
Yes and
no. YES the "old" online adult business model - the one YOU failed at btw, even when a retarded monkey could make sales in the pre-Tubes days - has changed. But NO this does not mean the Adult Industry is shrinking.
You see, porn has consolidated, like all successful Industries, where only a few major players have emerged. But just because Amazon exists does not mean other online retailers have just given up and gone away. Just because you fail at seeing where all the money has shifted does not mean it's gone.
