So people posting ratios are good, sales are growing.. Isn't a lie, it's the truth. Just because you can't sling shit at the wall anymore and it stick, doesn't mean people aren't doing well.
I never said nobody is doing good. You can always grow faster than an industry is declining. Look at Southwest airlines, they ran a profitable business for a decade while the rest of the airline industry was in decline. Although it did finally catch up to them last quarter. The point is, I'm very much aware you can succeed in declining market. My sales are up over what they were last year but I don't come on here calling people idiots, I can see the industry has serious pressure on it. I'm succeeding but It will catch up to me if things don't change.

But the point remains that porn is not nearly as recession resistant as it once was and it is due to the free content on illegal tube sites. Are tube sites doing well? I don't know. I'm starting to see some of them get involved in some very shady billing practices, things they were not doing several months ago. Are they just getting greedy or they are feeling some pressure? Only time will tell.
