The only reason I would do that is to be in a hurry to get where I know I can reach. But I can just about handle the growth we have been through and continue to see.
I entered this business as a tube guy, with very little experience of the web, let alone adult. Love or hate tubes, I think we did a great job with YouPorn. I then entered into the production and pay site side of the business. Simply because I knew that if you could produce what the users were looking for, then you could make bank. I had all the data to hand, and it was a no brainer to start pay sites. But again, I entered into a business that I had no experience of. I had never run a pay site but had helped a lot of the CP's that reached out to us. What keywords to use, what tags, what clips were seeing more success, what nieces were better etc etc
What I am trying to say is that my business model suits me. We have the best crews shooting and the best editors editing what the tube data tells me is the best content.
What I never professed to be an expert in is actually running pay sites. I tried with an aff manager and that didnt work out. I'd love my business to be 50% reliant on tubes, and 50% aff, as that will propel my revenues into orbit. I am offering a huge salary and insane commissions to that aff manager, so if you know of any, send them my way. We certainly have the tools for them to make bank and an ever growing network where the sites are created backed on freely available data.

Data? lol you could have figured that out having a TGP or MGP. or perhaps opening your eyes and looking at the various content that was out there.
It might be really easy to come here and pat yourself on the back but remember for the 5 guys that started the site and 40 or so guys you employ. YOU destroyed I would assume somewhere from 1,000 to 5,000 small business people that made a 100k a year. What you did wasnt smarter it was taking the low road basically a race to the bottom.
