how many programs stopped paying affiliates in 2000?
how many companies went out of business in 2000?
the people that continue to use the "people have been saying this for years" routine will most likely be out of business in the next few years because they cant accept reality..
reality is that its a combination of things..
i have talked to now less then 50 people about tube sites and they answer is almost always the same.. they say that the content on tubes is adequate to jerk off too and most dont want to spend the money for a site unless its something unique like a certain fetish..
they dont trust porn companies when it comes to fucking them on billing. every person i have ever talked to about billing have all said they had problems cancelling memberships or got cross sale'd with or without their knowledge.. not one person has ever said that they never had some type of billing problem.
of course the biggest factor right now seems to be the economy. the average guy is worried about losing his job or has had his salary cut. guys that had no problem spending their entire monthly check on bills and fun are now trying to build up a little bit of savings..
i see more and more companies (mainstream brick & mortar) going out of business everyday. this shit economy could possibly take 10 years to recover from if it recovers at all. these are new challenges and i think people are going to have to get very creative if they want to continue in business..
