paul, I am 21 years in this biz and not only in advertising.
I did all and everything what one can do in this biz while you only know it from your small perspective.
the advertising biz was and is the biggest in the whole internet.
no matter HOW you get customers.
it can be a weather site a social media site or a porn site or whatever.
you are crying because a sandkorn on the beach got lost.
you never had the big perspective.

Mainstream advertising has always been bigger than porn.

tell me what is mainstream advertising?
regarding your vision it means that a weather site is here to sell thermometers and
a formula 1 site can only sell sportscars.
you should really sometimes have a look in the real world.
just only in dating there are BILLIONS made with porn customers.
enhancement stuff could not reach such a HUGE revenue without free porn.
another WORLD WIDE MARKET what makes billions not by selling porn but promoting it to this customers.
gaming, gambling, travel and much much more did already find out that porn users are just normal consumers and they are not scared anymore to promote on porn sites.
you are right when you say that the market has changed but it did not went down - it became MUCH bigger as it was before.
just dreamers like you did not mention it.

Chesterfield ads were bigger than porn back in the day, but not bigger than the Tobacco Industry. So please stick to porn and prove you know what you are talking about with porn style ads on porn sites. And stop claiming Advertising Complete is bigger than a small industry. I know that.

aha - and you think that chesterfield or the tobacco industry did spend their money ONLY on smokers sites ???
do you think that weather sites are belonging to the weather industry?
do you think that sports-sites are belonging to the sports industry ?
just have a look in your daily newspaper who is advertising there and after that tell me to what industry the newspaper belongs to.
go and open a shoping channel on your tv and look what they sell there. after that tell me to what industry the shopping channel belongs to.
watch a soap comedy and see who is advertising there and tell me what it have to do with the comedy.
i really canīt understand why you do not even understand the basic things of the MEDIA industry - and this is actually the industry we belong to.
