Around 11,500 sites listed on TheBestPorn with fewer than 100 (less than 1%) earning a score of 85 or more. If you want to call sites good, despite a few negative comments, drop the line to 75 points. Still only 1,500 sites or so, about 13% of the total.
Sure, there are sites they haven't reviewed yet and if we each did our own lists, we would place some sites higher or lower. But I doubt that the total number of sites we rated highly would be dramatically different and that basically suggests more than 85% of the sites we are selling are mediocre at best.
Of course we all remember the high-profile scams, Visa introducing stricter rules, etc, etc. I have lost a lot of money a couple of times, but the impact of most things, however dramatic when they occur, is finite and short-lived. Thousands of webmasters promoting poor sites, day in and day out, must surely be far more damaging.
Fortunately, that majority includes many less well-known sites, so the actual number of surfers being exposed to them is unlikely to be nearly as high as the raw numbers suggest. But now think about all the non-pay sites and pages which also provide a negative experience. Hundreds of thousands of surfers every day must be getting crapped on to a greater or lesser extent. When they do hit a site or links to a site they might enjoy, how much harder must the job be to convince them they have found the real thing?
