You ever notice it's always big programs Franck is trying to tell what's up with what? Big, successful companies that have a far better view of the big picture than a single small to medium affiliate will ever have.

Let's go back in time to circa 2002.

Franck: Posting on the Internet, small to medium sized affiliate.
hahaha: Shooting content like a crazy man for his first sites, working his ass off.

Now, look at the two of them today. Franck's in more or less the exact same spot and hahaha's built an empire.

If you had to blindly agree with one of those two sites, you'd go with Franck? Really? Where exactly in this scenario does hahaha come off as not a long term thinker?

Maybe someone can spin us some more webs about how the Adult Internet is dying. Especially funny when it gets bigger every year despite such dire predictions. The money's just in different pockets and that's what is at the heart of most of Franck's crying.

hahaha's job is to make hahaha money, not fill the coffers of a pouty Dutch fruitcake.

you know - what i respect the most is valueing a customer. i have been selling things to people since 15 years now and i think it will be hard to find any of my clients that will complain that i have not done everything that was possible from my point of view to satisfy them.

this is one reason why i despise x-sells for example - because i believe in growing slow but steady instead of making as much as possible in a short term. and every surfer that discovers $120 on his CC statement is lost forever. and no one can tell me about people not reading the terms etc. - everyone that had ever done anything with customer service knows that people don't read that stuff.

that content producers lose their clients because hahaha doesn't plan on buying content for all the programs he bought doesn't make me happy either

and i am afraid there's another thing i would agree on with Franck - as far as i can judge from the few times i met him or talked to him i'd say that he would be never aiming for expanding the same way hahaha did - with hundreds of employees, dozens of companies and all the responsibilities that come with that. And I wouldn't want that either - honestly, you could give me all companies hahahas owns and the first thing I'd do would be selling it all.

bottom line is: it's not up to you to judge if someone is successful according to his own point of view. and calling me full of shit is... well... at least unpolite.
