If you gave me $10 for every $2 I gave you then I would succeed too and you would fail. On the whole in simple terms this is basically what happened. They took while most of the industry gave. Except in our case much of that money simply vanished. Destroyed. Much like what would happen to the local pizza industry if one or two local pizza stores starting giving out free pies in massive quantities for an extended period of time.
Look you might like and do business with some of these people. Maybe they bought you drinks and all that but it doesn't take someone with an MBA to see what common sense easily reveals. Just as you can look around downtown Detroit and realize you aren't in Beverly Hills. It's the same with the adult industry in 2012 versus 2002. And it didn't happen because there weren't enough PornHubs, my friend.
