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.

See, your sales are growing.. Bad eco, bad money, bad gov, all that.. and Tubes - and your sales are up. Traffic baby... it makes all the bad numbers better!
Southwest isn't really in a decline. They made a bad investment choice and purchased Gas thinking it wouldn't drop, which is costing them in the stock game. However, they are still actually kicking the teeth in of every airline.
Tubes are going to feel the pressure, probably feel it first, even though they can get volume which is god. And volume produces sales, period. If the Eco really bottoms out, they will probably bust.
But if it gets to that point, we are all pretty screwed.
