Did I say membership fees?

no matter if paying a one time fee or a membership. 99% of the people watching it donīt pay a penny. and the others pay it because they want and not because the must.

Understood. "Studio" girls have the publisher, affiliate, studios taking a cut. Girls working on their own can keep all the money. Some girls work via MFC style sites.

no they do not have that and they will never be able to get such numbers as a big site can. so what do you want to tell me here ?

I've run businesses which employed people. How many people work for you?
|
not many - as my biz concept is very focused.
actually we are 15 and 13 of them have nothing to do with the daily stuff - they are also doing very focused things. an no matter if i have 10 times more traffic tomorrow i will still do it with 15.

Why make it personal on what I made? We're talking about an industry.

the point is that you do not understand this industry. income streams have changed in the
past 15 years a lot. business models have changed because people found out how to live from the mass as there is no big market with a few highrollers.

The rules of business don't change. If you give the product away, sales plummet.

and THIS is exactly not the case. it was never and it will be never.
a restaurant need chairs but does not sell them.
the chair is just a free give away to sell drinks and food.
hollywood is not making big money with cinemas and pay tv anymore.
they make money with plenty thousands of free TV channels - so hollywood finally is paid from advertisement.
if you think that porn is something else than every other kind of entertainment you are completely wrong. porn is part of the entertainment industry and 90% of the income of this industry comes from advertising and sponsoring.
look at all the news channels. before they where newspapers and have been sold. now you get all that for free and all this newspapers make MORE money with their free online version as with the sold paper version.
and yes there are still a few trying to sell the content instead. show me ONE that is profitable.
you can not swim against a stream you have to find out how to make money with it. but you missed this part and want to tell the ones that adapted the reality that THEY are wrong.
