If 1-1,000 porn surfers bought, from those like Will who have amazing traffic to those who had poor traffic, it worked. Today the actual number who surf for porn and actually get out a credit card could be around 1-10,000. And the vast majority are on Tube sites like Pornhub.

Now it's biting the most of you in the ass.

Will I might be wrong on the figures, I might be under or over. But the principle is spot on. We built this barrier, not it's so big fewer are buying than ever.
two words Paul "Nash Equilibrium"

look it up,

you can't beat it, because all it takes to make your entire "plan" to work is one guy deciding to give away more free porn

wishing you could go back in time and change the past is worthless

arguing that you should cut the affiliate payments, or whatever other idea that requires you to get EVER SINGLE PROGRAM to agree to work together will never work

one guy deciding to say screw you and the entire thing falls apart
