Imagine a world where that couldn't happen and people were left with nothing but type in traffic. Because type in from a watermark was the only way surfers could buy porn.
Today people don't need anything but Pornhub or some other tube to supply their daily porn. And it's in the bookmarks. The difference between the first way of promoting, Newsgroups, and now is only the numbers online. Imagine billions having to buy porn for $1 a day.
I said think about it.

paul seriously - your problem is that you do not have any overview in that market anymore and you never had a clue how money is made.
you know the internet from a time when only really rich people could afford it and when everybody was believing everything. this was the time when everyone could make money and as we have been much less people this "big" money from few people where shared under few.
when internet became cheaper it also bright another quality of users with less money and in the same time the number of competitors grow (because they heard about easy money). so that was the goldrush effect and nothing else.
the money what is made WITH porn today is MUCH MUCH MORE as it was in the best times (when we made the money with selling porn).
alone in my network are a few big mediabuying companies what are spending MILLIONS every month for buying traffic on porn sites and sell this users very other products than porn.
the real value of a user are not the 0,28% of his budget what he spends for porn (and that was in 1997 the same as it is now) it is his budget as a consumer what is buying all and everything.
you are crying because in the past 50 years around 80% of the cinemas did close - YES - but the money what is made with free TV is 1000 times more as ist was in the time of cinemas.
so start to understand that times have changed. your ideas do not work anymore and there are TONNS of new people in the biz what bring fresh money.
if you talk with the ones who still live in the past you might hear from them that what you think. but if you still would be in the everyday biz and have to do with the new and fresh people you would be astonished about the numbers what are to realize with porn.
i can not say exactly how much more money is in that biz compared to letīs say 2000 but i am pretty shure it is 10-20 times more now.
so your concept would be to change a running and working system to an old and rotten one what will NEVER work again.
