Damm man, I can't even reply b4 you post again.

Adult's not the first obsolete industry I've seen, btw. It's just happening faster in internet time.
Adult is not obsolete and it won't ever die. It's shrinking and changing.

Selling sites with poor to average content is going to get harder and harder. There might be more profit in giving it away for free, helped by a DMCA loophole, and selling advertising space. Unless you're the size of the big Tubes, forget about the income being great.

The business plan of affiliates needs to be considered very hard. The customers simply aren't prepared to keep funding it. Some make a living still, but their own bank statements show them a trend that's going to be tough to change.

Dating and Web Cams will save some. Saving all of them is another question. Will surfers get wise to paid Dating sites being a con and free Dating sites are better? And yes they're a con, unless the same girl that's in London is also looking for a date in Brno, New York, Hong Kong, etc.

Will someone jump in and make a better model of MFC?

Will Manwin jump into the web cam field and realise that it's better to do it without the costly affiliate program and rely on their own traffic?

What I'm sure of is the porn industry shrinking for the vast majority and no one not even me, can be absolutely sure of where, what and when we will know the outcome.

That's it we're off for a week and I might check in while away, but might not.
