Let me clarify my point...

The 'industry' is not ONLY the BROS, programs, and people represented on this board.

There are thousands, tens or even hundreds of thousands, of mom and pop and small studios and web sites I have never heard of, and that probably have never made a single post on this, or any, industry forum.

Look at clips4sale alone. A vast majority of those studio owners do not post here. A lot of those people you will never recognize. I know when I was putting together my FOOT FETISH and TICKLING search engine there were hundreds I had never heard of, but they were nice sized sites.

Putting the point on the pencil.... While the shows, forums, panels, trade mags talk about 'the industry being down', the truth of the matter is, the big dollar BROS are down. A lot of us, especially niche and fetish providers, are still doing the same or better business. Not all, but a lot I have talked to.

So 'the industry' is only represented on this, and other boards, by the participants. Not on the people actually in this industry as a whole. Many are not hurting. Nor is the traffic of the BRO networks king of their sales.

That said, if you are more accurately talking about BRO programs, how they market their BRO content on their BRO traffic networks, then yes. I agree with you. They are basically cannibalizing themselves.

Not all of us use BRO traffic sources or content. Not all of us suffer at the hands of BRO.
