Downloading 1000 or even 100 sites is enough porn for a life time. Pornhub makes the $12.99 a pointless spend. Unless you have to have HD.
Also figure this in. For $30 a moral member he can download a years supply of porn from one site, $30 a year?????
With hindsight we can all see how this business was fucked. Crap product, over priced product, customer experience secondary to affiliate experience, shady practices and tons and tons of free porn in any guise being given away every day.
Even today few have the money of the brains to really think like businessmen. There are a lot of DVD companies with an excellent unique product who are struggling. Yet sites continue to churn out the same cheap repetitive shit product day after day. When they could walk into one of these companies, put the money on the table and buy them out. But that needs brains and investment money. MW are starting to do it more than you think.

I cant disagree on any of that.
In 1999 I put up 10 pics on a site that I think belonged to Suze Randall. Cant remember for sure. Female producer from Florida. I got a c&d lol and removed them like now. Cause she wasnt kidding and back then I had something to lose. Now she can kiss my ass lol (for other reasons
)
But yeah it is a sorry state for affils in general in porn. But someone is ALWAYS getting it done. Just not very damn many.
When the major progs let it all go for free it was then about over in general.
Type in "free yoursite.com rip" .. pretty rediculous. You dont think the young savvy gen today doesnt know it is all free?
So the major progs who all sold out (or cant police their content) still make money on tons of free traffic but for how long? While we the affil get fucked.
Yet I DONT blame them. We all do what is best for us and that is now best for them.
I almost joined a rip site myself the other day cause it is a way better deal.
So build a rip site I guess.
