Then we have a huge amount of models, amateurs, homemade vids, being shot daily and uploaded to millions of models pages. So while the income is low, itīs pushed down eve more because of the saturation of models, or girls, probably who will not stay around, not for more than a year

Is it greed or just survival?
The amount affiliates were paid fucked this industry in a massive way. Look at what a site has to pay for.

Hosting
Staff
Processing
Design and programs
Content

Unless top dollar was paid the only sites that managed to get good content, the thing your sales depend on, was what was paid to content producers. Paying 50%+ strangled the amount that could be paid for content, staff, hosting, design.

Now let's look at what affiliates have to pay for. Someone tell us this because I struggle to think of one substantial weekly payout other than buying a computer which they probably have and weblink.

To send men looking for porn to sites with porn. This industry would have been a pot of gold paying out 10% with no less traffic, less free and more sales.
