It was too easy to be an affiliate. People say that all it takes is a digital camera to shoot porn. Well all an affiliate needed was a computer and a connection to the Internet. Giving them so much help and money for a sign up, just made it easier and built what grew into a barrier between the buyer and seller. This barrier is now an alternative to buying porn. So free porn now sells a lot of Dating, Cams and penis pills which will hurt recorded porn people.

This is now becoming true for paysites. Because to sell something, in profitable numbers, today the product needs to be good to excellent. Sites and sponsors who thought all it took was traffic are discovering the surfer isn't so dumb.

What is good in porn is not defined by image clarity or mega pixels. It's the actual content on the screen being good enough to convince someone to buy.

Simply put it will become more of what is happening today. surfers going to the mega tubes, making most affiliates redundant and making recorded porn harder to sell.
