If Tubes made many adult webmasters obsolete...
then the Internet is also making REAL ESTATE brokers obsolete: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-f...,7207801.story
That said, there will still be a need for realtors--it will just be a smaller pool of people providing "add on" services OR focusing on really "high touch" and "high end" segments of the market.
In adult, there's really no obsolescence (just trying to come up with a dramatic title
)--the promotion channels may change but the same basic skill sets remain. Instead of promoting "canned" adult content fare, the rise of the tubes (that phrase reminds me of Terminator: The Rise of the Machines :D) is pushing webmasters to focus on interactivity and 'custom' niche content. Behind every challenge is an opportunity.
For decades, agents generally had the only reliable access to complete, detailed listings of all properties for sale. They would select homes from the lists to show buyers, then drive them around to view properties.
Sellers relied on their agents to research other home sales to set a list price and to talk up the property to other agents representing potential buyers.
Now, free websites provide home sales listings as well as the prices that homes sold for -- valuable information for prospective buyers trying to fashion an offer. Some websites even enable people to buy and sell properties.
The National Assn. of Realtors sought to restrict information that Internet real estate brokerages could publish, but the U.S. Department of Justice fired back with an antitrust lawsuit.
