A. The idea that affiliates are needed is screwball. If the guys putting up sites can't do what 99% of affiliates can do, they go down.

B. Affiliates were over paid. And over indulged. 10% tops, cookies non existent and little content to promote a site with. Paying 50%+ and giving them everything, allowed people who would never of made it in porn. To fuck the business.

C. Getting affiliates affiliates was more important than getting and keeping customers.

D. The idea that traffic is king is stupid. Getting men to look at porn as about as getting my dog Rajah to eat food.

E. Giving away the product you sell is fine if you give away limited samples. Free porn is unlimited and better than paid porn. That was obvious at the beginning of TGP sites. When it took 100s of views to get a member. Rationing the product makes it more valuable.

F. Thinking anyone can pick up a camera and make a girl, whose there only to earn money, perform a great sex scene is stupid. You must know that by now because most porn is boring.

G. You were told this over and over again. In small bites. But you chose to ignore it. Now the industry is for most people on the slide down. Will you change?

WILL YOU GROW 2 HEADS?

Don't take any notice of me, I'm a know nothing broke loser. :1orglaugh
