I remember in the early days, all you ever heard was "surfers are stupid". Well, today they are experienced, savvy and well aware of schemes, scams, fraud and shortcomings of paysites as well as the options out there to find what they want and they know how to find it. Funny how so many just don't get that.

Quoted for the truth.
The reality is the people buying often if not very often know more about the product than those in the business.
Marketing guru Damianj thinks a designer can turn bad content into good content. Like the customer doesn't know the difference and can be swayed by the design of a site.
PR_Glen thinks people who know nothing about a product or even like it can make sales. Maybe that why they have so many different niches under their banner.
"It's an impulse buy." Like the customer is going to get swayed by the first pretty face he sees. More like the affiliates will.
"Digital made it easy to shoot porn." As if getting a picture in focus and exposed properly was rocket science.
Not to mention all the tricks like "Hide the cancel button." and cross sales.
We are where we are today because of the ship we built. But let's blame it on Tubes rather than think.
