This is what I love when people, even knowledgeable ones, try to calculate numbers in the porn biz. Adult is NOT "mainstream" (Amazon, Google, Facebook, etc). Porn is filled with questionable revenue sources from questionable countries. YES there are plenty of "legit" companies doing things the right way. But there are ALSO many companies pumping money into a system just so it comes out clean afterwards. Profit is not their motive.

So you factor in that segment - or take it OUT - and the "profits" from buying traffic deflate like a balloon. Congrats to Thommy (and any traffic broker) that can get in on this circle jerk game but it's not a game small-to-mid size companies can (or should) play.
We are wasting our time. He keeps telling us what online advertising is worth. Nothing to do with porn advertising and what he earns.

Back in the good days online. Legit sites were paying the big affiliates $30 to $40 a join. Now he's selling scam sites for a few $ while insisting he's part of a global biz.

Mainstream dating isn't advertising on Adult sites.
