What are you trying to tell me? You worked as a drug farmer all your life?
did you ever calculate how much that is in a month when a site just have 100 k visitors per day ? and you would wonder HOW MANY tubes have A LOT MORE.
business is not communism - the best will have the most traffic and the others die.
it is as simple as that and it works like this in EVERY kind of biz.
and here is the logic that you donīt get.
if this biz would not make money there would not be such a competition.
and yes of course it is harder today because you can not make money when you are dumb . i never said anything else !
but that smart ones do not only make the same money as before - this money is still here and not even this money - it is MUCH MUCH MORE - but it goes into the hands of the smart, competitive, far-seeing, skilled and not in the hands of people with your views.
so if you want to discuss the biz - than discuss it on the reality of today and not on a long past era when a couple of idiots who had no name to lose bathed themselves in the champagne that rained from the sky. and when exactly these unprofessional idiots asked every one to become their competitor because they believed it was "infinitely" much of it there in the paradise.
if you know the offline business so well, then ask one of the half-dead guys from back then what it was like to open a new sexshop on the other side of the street.

The only "problem" I see with your business model - buying/selling "circle jerk" traffic or pushing dick pill ads on tubes etc - is that, eventually, advertisers will realize that this is just a giant circle jerk game. Sure they can convert once they get into the laws of big numbers - 100,000 hits here, $50,000 spent there buying 5 million clicks etc - but the margins are tiny and getting smaller all the time.
With adblockers, Google and others tightening their software to block annoying ads, etc I predict in 5 years or less those profiting from this circle jerk traffic will drop signicantly. Will it ever go away? No, not likely since there IS profit in it. But the cost to earn that profit will continue to go up as the companies that profit the most from these strategies continue to shrink.
Your game Thommy is based solely and strictly on huge numbers, mathematics and probabilities. That's awesome for the analytically and metric minded. But, in the end, only VERY large companies will be able to afford this kind of game where the basic investment is a minimum of 50k just to get any type of traction at all.
But, as you say, this is true of EVERY market. Those who work with Wal-mart will always insist everything is just dandy while the small community supporters of the local flower shop will bitch til they go out of business or settle for tiny scraps. So you know, good for you for working with the porn Wal-Marts of the world but your calculations don't really apply to us normal 'small business' types.
