Honestly think about it, any idiot with a webpage back in 96/97 etc,, could make money. Now you actually have to have a little ability.

BTW, there has been free porn since there has been people getting online. People traded porn online since the ability to send it was created. free porn is not a new thing.

Nothing stays the same, except for the ability to make money. You need to learn how to stay one step ahead and make money off of every situation. Or people could bitch about something and give up... your choice.
Good argument.

However, today's industry, and today's webmaster ask for everything.

I came in in 98. You had to work to get your traffic and your signups. Back then, when I ran Netpond's Newbie board, I suggested this following. Tease them and sell them to a full membership. Do not give out free milk, sell the cow.

You cannot sell the sizzle anymore, everyone is giving away the steak.

The internet was built on free porn, back in 94 and up, paysites made surfers change their habits and pay for it.

The track now is sliding back to giving it all away, again.
