i wasn't saying anything about affiliates.
why do affiliates matter?
when were affiliates or the affiliate model promised a permanent place in this business?
ALL major programs have made a shift over the last several years to make affiliates a smaller part of their business model.
porn is not the peoples socialist republic of china.
if you can't make it as an affiliate... then stop making buggy whips and do something else since you've already declared yourself obsolete.
reducing the argument to "piracy is killing affiliates" is even more absurd. affiliates will never be the ones to stop piracy. content owners clearly have little interest in stopping piracy. so if its over, have the courage to admit its over and find something else to do
and again... anyone who has been in this biz for years, knows this simple fact is true... this exact statement "we're gonna see some popular programs out of the biz in the second part of this year" could be true, any year for the last 10 years and means nothing.
suggesting that you're hurting, therefore no one is succeeding.... is a pretty backwards view and one that condemns you to failure.
