HAhaha ArronM!
Welcome to the Matrix.
Your not the only guy to experience this trend, it is actually somewhat accross the board for several programs. Only a fraction of Galleries are actually used, dispite all the whinning webmasters that clamor for FHG's.
Personally I have been against FHG's and MGP's and have seen the FHG, MGP plight go down as "Overrated". I suspect it is a manipulation by the TGP segment clamoring for a larger take without having to list submits and bother with cheaters.
On sme fronts FHG's, MGP's make sense but realistically I know your stuff wuld sell itself.
DO the math on a member, split it, chop it, add in bandwidth and your getting maybe just maybe 1-3 dollars per member! Account for labor Offline and online.
Shoot costs, video editing, website development all that shit and your running your profits pretty thing to support a vertical growth.
My honest advice and most sincere honest advice is to cut out any leaks that do the following where possible:
A: increase bandwidth
B: dilute content value
Webmasters fill in both A and B!
My philosophy is "Fuck" the webmasters they are more trouble than they are worth, harness your own traffic channels and take the full member yourself. IMHO Webmasters just arent worth it.
I think LightSpeed has summed it up pretty good a while back ago with a nice rant post abut the whores webmasters are with extreme demands.
Regarding MGP's...
The MGP segment is more fucked than the TGP segment.
