when u got throat cancer did you tell yourself everybody else got it too? the whole industry doesn't have money problems just because you are having problems.

there is more spent on porn now than there ever was at anytime in the last decade. there are just way more players taking a piece. its called the long tail. if you add up the annual sales of all the PornCMS customer websites, it is 10x+ higher than we were making in 2002-2004 at Hegre. there's just hundreds of sites sharing the same cake.

you will never get the lion's share of the market anymore (although Manwin is trying), but you can do a hell of a lot better opening a good site than you can working a 9-5 or opening a local bakery.

its all about perspective, Markham, and i think you lost your perspective, along with your motivation to be a player in this business.
