Its bad business management if they do.

If a program is spending more than they are making its because the people who own it are idiots, especially a revshare based program.

Cut back on the amount of content you update, lower hosting costs by getting a cheaper plan (many hosting companies will match or better the price for new clients than what they already have), lower payouts, reduce staff, there are so many options available to program owners when it comes to reducing their financial burdens that will still allow them to keep their sites open.

Unless you have debts way above your head as a program owner, there is absolutely no reason to close a revshare based program down period other than mis-management by the owner.
There is a cost in your time too as well as other fixed costs. I think it's safe to say that most paysites are experiencing declines over the last few years.

I just typed Harsh Handjobs into Google and the #1 result is an Xvideos search page with 3500 videos. The actual paysite is at #2. All the other results on the front page are all tubes like Pornhub and Youporn.

I was an affiliate of the program and I sent a little bit of traffic. I appreciate Pornopat at least giving a decent amount of notice. Good luck in the future.
