somewhat. i think the old school guys - those in the game prior to say 2005 - aren't used to working so hard for their money. the industry went from a gold rush to an actual industry that takes a workforce to succeed. the only old school guys doing well right now either hired workers or turned into workers themselves.

obviously you don't realize there are different types of workers in the world. there are some hugely successful mainstream developers and marketers that want something more fun to work on. they have skills and talents way beyond your comprehension.
before i got into porn in 2000 i was one of Ford's senior web developers. we were building massive traffic sites before most people knew about the web. a divorce pushed me to leave the US in favor of the coastal air of Portugal, where i put my talents to use getting Hegre from $20k a year to $3m a year.
fresh blood has fresh talent that can MOVE an industry.

i don't still think its 1999 so i would suggest you do some research before misquoting me. you don't know me. you are just assuming stupid shit based on your negativity and prejudices of industry vets. i have evolved with the industry - even over the last 6 months. if you actually looked at the demo of my cms, instead of just attempting to bash the homepage copy, you'd realize your error in logic.
it is always pretty obvious that, although you have some knowledge and experience shooting porn, you know little to nothing else of the rest of the industry or any industry outside adult. do you even know what's going on in mainstream SEO these days? did you know that all of Facebook's tech is open source? do you even care about anything beyond your limited little corner of the business?

if they have content and want a paysite, then that would be their
smartest move. but as i tell every one of my clients, launching the paysite is only the first step (made incredibly easy by my software). the hard work comes after the site is up. this is well documented in my literature, something you didn't research before attacking my business.
and another reminder - keep attacking my business. i got another sale from gfy today.
