I agree, which is why I posted what I did. You have posted a few times now in response to porn biz people (markham, porn nerd) that the ad biz powers their porn biz (disclaimer: I've possibly misinterpreted what you've said).. it doesn't.
And tubes *aren't* in the porn biz, they are in the ad biz, despite what some joe public surfer who just wants a wank might think.
Their *market* is the porn market, obviously, but their business is ads -either directly, or as affiliates.
To use MG as an example, their paysites like brazzers etc are 'the porn biz', and their tubes are 'the ad biz'. As you rightly say, you can't just say MG are 'the porn biz' - that's only a part of their business.
Most affiliates & ad guys struggle to make the distinction, but it's there.
From what I can see, you guys (you, markham, porn nerd, in the latter part of this thread) are coming at the conversation from very different viewpoints, which is why you are each struggling to get the 'other side' to understand the specifics, and that's the reason why I brought it up, because it's an interesting thread but has started to go round in circles. And yes I know you ran paysites so know that side as well, it's just not factoring in to your points here, as far as I can see.
ps dick pills, and dating aren't porn either, even if they come under the umbrella of 'adult'
