I don't think you actually do, though.

Again, just solidifies my train of thought that you do not know what you are talking about, content producers and webmasters are actually more valuable these days because the industry is resetting itself, in part due to new regulations, driving those who are not serious about business or have the mindset and skills to run one, out of the industry, 2257 started this, credit card regulations are carrying on the culling of those who are in the industry 'for fun' while living in their mothers basement while the current pandemic is certainly helping ensure those who shouldn't be in this sector, aren't as well.

Yes, adapt or die is still as relevant today as it was 10-15 years ago however, we need to adapt to a methodology that not only allows business to grow, but allows it to remain profitable, long gone are the days where you could submit an image or movie gallery to PK, The Hun, GG&J, et al and make 5+ sales per submission, we need to make sure that the content we do have and are producing doesn't flood the marketplace like it did when the 'reality porn' craze hit, spending thousands of dollars on content only to allow affiliates to make it worthless within weeks is counter-productive to any business with a solid growth plan.

OF will eventually become a thing of the past too, just like those paysite tours that look like tube sites will, just as reality style tours have (for the most part), as I mentioned above, the industry has become reactive, duplicating a concept from non-adult and putting a porn spin on it isn't innovative, its actually counter-productive to long-term success, because as soon as tubes dwindle in popularity, or OF, or social sites, the industry is going to have to redesign itself again.

As an industry we should be embracing the existing and, developing new technologies and methodologies so we can expand the industry reach away from those who would want to join it to skim cards, steal identities and flood the marketplace with 'free' porn.

After an almost 10 year hiatus, I'm happy to see that not much in this business has changed, at least as far as webmasters and affiliates not bothering about the bigger picture and their long-term success or failure.

Cookies are almost obsolete, yet we still rely on them, some programs don't allow you to use special characters in passwords, in an age where hacking is rife, site and content blocking is everywhere, limiting our reach, yet, none of this has really been looked at in a serious manner.
