The thread clearly defines 'success' as relative to the past. It was a thread about where the money has gone to... where the market is trending. So what you personally define as success doesn't necessarily matter

Actually it matters A LOT. Where did WHAT money go? The millions/billions made in 2002 compared to 2018? We've already established that the money never 'went' anywhere, it simply re-shifted into the hands of a few major players as opposed to thousands of smaller affiliates.
Numbers in the Adult Industry are fluffy at best, no one knows "how much" the Adult Industry as a whole made then as compared to now. It's all guesstimates. So again it comes down to: how much do YOU want to make, feel you
can make and are happy to be making. The rest is useless mental masturbation.
If you compare your company's success or failure to larger, more established companies you will feel UNsuccessful. It's called the Law Of Contrast. Personally, I don't care how much Paul Markham thinks I should make, or how much thommy considers 'big time'. I know what makes ME happy and that's the only metric anyone should use IMHO.
Where's the money at? Cams, dating, paysites, buying/selling traffic, processing, dick pills....ok now what?
