It just made me think reading what Fabian is saying that his company is more a "Technical" company now. To sell meat you neat meat eaters in the staff.
This really only applies to sponsors and producers. Still a traffic pusher needs to know what's hot and will sell and what's not. Seeing some of the replies on the pics threads here, I have my doubts.  |
If by pornographers you mean people that shoot porn (I don't see how else you could define one). So the answer would be : whatever ratio of producers to other employees he has.
Obviously the producers aren't the ones coding the sites, setting up the banners, tracking stats, marketing the product on 3rd party sites and optimizing the campaigns based on stats.
Where he talks about being more of a techy team means that the product "just doesn't sell itself". He carefully analyzes each and every bit of information he gets to understand his traffic and display exactly what his traffic wants based on that data.
Doing so takes alot of people and ressources, but doesn't require the people who shoot the content or get off on the content in order to sell it.
