You are never going to put the genie back in the bottle, and time warp back to 2001, 1998, 1969 or whenever the 'good ole days' were. Those days are over. Those who had little to no skills and fell into a gold mine and simply should have managed their money better. The learning curve for making any real money is getting harder, and the bar for entry is slowly raising.
Agreed. While morons scream I wish it was 1998 again. I see them wish it was 2005 again. You're dead right though. Most who did make money in online porn were just lucky to get in early and survive the first few months. The marketing sense of them was as low as you can get.

The internet has changed. It is not all about 'porn' anymore. There are plenty of other things to do on the web, and places many spend their time other than searching for porn. You also are not going to throw together some $25.00 TGP and make any real money like the good ole days. Could you make more than your $25.00 investment? Sure. But you are not going to banking like those who fell into good timing of the 'dot com' time window.
Yes the Internet has changed. But those selling porn haven't. With people thinking paying for porn is wrong. The marketing in this industries does it utmost to support that theory.

The whole internet business model has changed, along with the surfers wants and needs. You either need to change with it, and innovate, or go don the fucking paper hat and find a new career. Stop whining, and get over it already.
Yes people need to innovate and change. That's what my original post was calling for. Seems most disagree and think changing is giving away free porn.

I'm whining at this industries inability to change and innovate.

I think a lot of affiliates think it's best to spend as much as possible re-enforcing the notion that it's stupid to pay for porn and changing the product is not the way forward. Giving more and more away is going to work much better.
