I don't think it was a "migration of buyers from mainstream porn to online porn". I think it was a GIANT increase in people able to buy porn at all. They couldn't "migrate" because they had never had the opportunity to buy porn before.

Sorry it was every couple of seconds. I got that wrong.
This is what I read Robbie, sorry if I mistook
you saw for
you believed.
I thought it was you saw it on your stats, not you believed it was happening.
You don't think it was a migration.
I know it was. Because I was talking to the other sides of the industry ho saw the migration. IN THE ACTUAL FIGURES. But I guess you thinking it makes it right.

So a market growing 448% is, er, bad?
I have no idea why posting a link to a page that confirms my earlier post makes me clownesque though? Do explain your genius for the dim-witted.
Or do you jus' be trollin? ;) ;) ;)
PS Great work being so rude to Robbie. His buttons are easier to push than yours! Should carry the thread on for a while. I suggest you get Will or Gideon involved next week to continue your massively brilliant spam.

So here's the explanation. Go back and look at the core markets. US, Canada, Europe to get a better picture of the increase that matters. Some of the regions with massive increase are hard to bill.
Then think of the size of the adult online industry in 2000. Was it 1/3 of what it is today. Were there a lot fewer Sites, Affiliates and sponsors then?
Now factor in the massive amount of traffic going to Tubes and you can see there are too many people trying to feed out of a decreasing trough.
You claim to be in marketing and that flew over your head. People who can't buy, don't want to buy and won't buy are a very small market. The core of our income comes from a small sector of that increase.
Try reading a book on Demographics if you want to be in marketing.

It's hard to believe after reading the following quotes which you made previously in this thread that you retired ONLY because you weren't getting paid what you felt was just. Now ask yourself, were you ready and willing to retire in the days BEFORE your major setbacks or after them when you didn't have a choice.

During our setbacks 2 of our major clients stopped buying. Both magazine clients. So we stopped producing.
Now it's only $9k profit a month.
Can you imagine the server they get for $45 a month and it looking after 450 members a month and all the free traffic. And how much did they spend on content?
