I'm not pessimistic. I'm giving my honest view.

Producing a low quality repeat buy product product, spending more money on giving it away than anything else. Is a recipe for a disaster. Be it in porn or baked beans.

And now that's clearly true.

In any business if 1,000s consume a product you have 1,000s of potential customers. Giving it away for free to those 1,000s to sell to 1 is a fail.

Fooling yourself it works, shows a lack of understanding of business, marketing and selling.

It's taking the easy road to make $1,000 and ignoring the harder way to make $1,000,000. What ever you did make was a fraction of what you could of made if you could of taken the harder route.

That I suppose is ultimately why so many don't like what I post. They know if content was prized higher, members thought of more highly than surfers, then they would not of been able to work online. The low entry bar suited them.
