Why?

Because generally, people in porn are inexperienced, undereducated, often underage, quite often drug addicted, and overall just plain dumb. Sad to say, but it's the truth.
Anyone coming out of an offline ad agency would lose their mind dealing in our industry. When I get people who want to enter the market doing sites I have to stress really emphatically how this is a complete sub-culture that is like nothing they have ever experienced. I think one of the things we see on the service side of this business is a lot of young people who made money fast and look like big shots to their friends so they think they are the next mogul and you end up dealing with some crazy out of proportion notions about how much knowledge someone has.

I don't know who else in here offers consulting type services and all too but how many times have you had someone hire you to deliver results because of what you know then all they want you to do is agree with their ideas? It takes some time to learn how to pre-screen potential clients so you don't end up in an scenario with no possible happy ending.
