toys are not porn. just because it is related to sex does not make it porn. they are in the adult industry, but that is a huge macro market.

it actually seems like your problem is you are comparing online porn to many other markets, rather than focusing on what online porn IS. you have a problem with online porn -> you can't figure out how to make money online anymore. or, you can't make the money you want. this is
your problem, not everybody's problem. that's where i came up with the throat cancer analogy. you think because you have a problem, everybody must have the same problem. its simply not true.
i don't compare online porn to other markets (magazines, toys, sex shops), and i dont compare today's online market to the online market we saw 5-10 years ago. i get up every morning, find out where the opportunities are, and i make some money. if there's a new niche getting everybody excited, i check it out, even if its a dead niche tomorrow. today is what matters.
there are still thousand of stock traders making money every day, even tho we are in a deep recession and many went broke. so is the financial industry dead?
you are macro analyzing the online market and you are failing. your failure is producing negativity, which is counter-productive to our business and incredibly annoying. there are a lot of people in this business making a living with online porn. just because you are not does not mean the online market is dead.
