If someone here says that he's still doing great in adult, it's either because he's using new techniches (sometimes blackhat), he's lucky or whatever, but most webmasters I know personally have quit during the last year (specially western european webmasters where the cost of living is insane)

others are working like slaves 24/7 and have no life to keep their earnings.

anyway, if its easier to make money in mainstream, i really don't understand why some people keep crashing their heads with adult.. maybe because they are not able to learn a completely new business or are too lazy to switch.

anyway, soon or late they will have no chance but move. even hard working 24/7 with long term revshares. Again we are talking about affiliates.

so, that said, the only ones that could keep in the business are some sponsor owners with a solid base of whale affiliates. those guys are confortable and have no problems because they live off the sucker slave workers that send them sales.
