People don't need content as much as they used to because now 90% of the traffic is on 10-20 sites, all giving it away for free.

Go back 10 years and traffic was spread more evenly and no one gave entire scenes or sites away for free. This needed more affiliates submitting more free stuff and more sites scrapping for more affiliates. Now one man can submit a new video to all the major Tubes in a day and get more views than 1,000 affiliates could get 10 years ago.

Less major free sites + more free porn = less sites, affiliates, disigners, programmers, etc.

Without the Trump, nudes and news rants threads, GFY would be dead. There's not enough business being done to keep it alive, which was what other all business boards discovered.
