I do understand that there is a huge huge shift toward free, online. Like the guy who invented the razors, gave them away, and charged for the blades. So .3% of everyone is supposed so support everyone, these days, I guess?

But is there even a slight fraction who BUYS anymore? Most sites seem to make their actual money selling ADS now- not content. The ADS must be producing SOMETHING, I suppose? Or is it the bigger fool theory... what?

Just some random thoughts I had ... interesting to discuss, maybe, if anyone is left on here who actually cares about any of this ...... Cue the crickets and moonlight


You are 100%. Companies juste love burning money on ad spots for the hell of it.


In all seriousness, there are still a LOT of buyers and tons of new credit card toting surfers popup on the net everyday. Its just a different game for affiliates now because of all the free porn, surfers are getting educated, there is more competition and a bunch of other factors.
