I have time now. Made my money in the days before the clever gurus decided giving it away was the key to selling. so can sit back and watch people like affiliates flood the place with free porn.

Are you an affiliate?

As you can see, mainstream companies don't always operate on the bill bill bill model and if they do they actually provide value to their customers. It was a matter of time before someone used the lack of free porn to gather traffic on a big scale and this is a repeat of the TGP days. Porn isn't going anywhere, many small timers are.
This theory works fine with a model built on a price that supports free porn.

If there were no affiliates, then the price would be able to plummet. Free porn isn't free, it's the most expensive part of online porn. Remove it and hey presto, one guy using free porn to get tons of traffic is selling at $30 and the same site under a different heading with different girls on different sofas is $15. We all know surfers are quick learners.

Or a site owner has more money to create a site to the level Met Art in another niche. Burdened with the heavy price of paying you, he couldn't afford to pay me. Nothing personal just using us two, as examples.

Or in the good old days of online, when it was too expensive to give it away in the quantities we can today. The successful site owners would of made a fortune. A real one, not what people here think.

You recently boasted that you would be making $1,000 for sending traffic to Chaturbate. Do you think it's right that someone with only the skills of sending traffic from his home should earn so much? Think outside your situation?

I in no way blame you. I blame those who think traffic is king.

This business was once using a bit of pre recorded porn as bait to send traffic to a pre recorded porn site. It's now one of using a lot of pre recorded porn to send traffic to a site that doesn't sell pre recorded porn. And often doesn't supply the pre recorded porn as the bait.
