the difference between then and now is this as i see it
THEN: there was SO much money floating around. Sponsors just THREW money around at shows with massive booths, incredible parties, hookers, strippers drugs, alcohol, gifts ect ect. It wasnt only a business it was one big party. Affiliates could afford to go to shows back then because they were making huge bank as well because there were not as many of them on the net fighting over clicks as there are today. I remember AGA buying Hookers for people in the Red Light in Amsterdam in 2003. there must have been 30 people with us walking thru the district and him handing money to which ever girl u wanted to fuck.
Now: the ROI on sponsor programs is NO WHERE near what it was then. Affiliates are fighting over fewer and fewer clicks, companies are becoming just that Companies looking solely at their bottom line and spending 500K- 1M at a show is not in the interest of the bottom line. Affiliates cant afford to go to shows in masses like the old days because most of them are making a fraction of what an affiliate made as few as 6 years ago.
Times are changing, shows are changing, I dont necessarily see these changes in the biz as a biz dieing. I see this as a necessary shake out in the industry that was way over due. Is it painful? Hell yeah but it needs to be done
