But when you consider that we're talking about 50%+ of all porn surfers then the numbers are just peanuts. I think us old timers would expect a lot more money from having so many eyes. But this (with the tubes) is the new reality.

A better estimate would be 1-10 uniques clicking on an advert, even that's a bit high. Tubes are going nowhere though. Their cost of running, has to climb before anything changes.

I'm talking about the revenue in the shop, not the producers.

Everyone online compared their retail sales, with offline wholesale or production sales.
