You know...there are different ways to get to the same results. In every business there are guys who are geniuses at making money analytically. And there are guys who have a great "feel" for their work that are very successful as well.

I'm a guy who KNOWS what I'm doing. I'm not a rookie, and I'm not an amateur. I've sold enough porn to enough people to say: "Yeah, I know what I'm doing. I'm a professional".

I try to be respectful to you because I DO respect what you've done. Obviously you don't feel the same way about me. That's fine.

I'd like to be clear...I'm not saying that money can't be made on tube sites if done the RIGHT way. But when you have 100,000 full scenes out there in EVERY niche it HURTS our industry.

And not all of it is shitty content either. People have stolen and uploaded some of the best porn and uploaded it in it's entirety.

That hurts everyone. Well...not Manwin of course. Because they are monetizing the traffic that all the content brings them and they are branding THEIR tube sites at the expense of others hard work.

I understand you don't see it that way.

Me? I'm going to continue to brand MY sites. My traffic is great and makes me enough money to not have to kiss the ring of Fabian and/or give them my content to monetize for himself. Sorry you're not in the same situation. Different paths I guess...
Sorry, I think I mistook you for someone that has a sense of humor. Didn't mean to offend you.

I do think though that, even though I know what you were saying about your feeling for what works or doesn't, my years of experience have told me not to only go by what I personally like. In fact, oftentimes my experience has shown that I shouldn't "think with my dick" but should actually just listen to customers and figure out what they want. If that approach works for you and you don't have to test then more power to you. If you don't want to use tubes for traffic then good for you too. I agree that no one should ever rely on just one traffic source or they are just setting themselves up for disaster.

Your brand seems based on one model/personality. What happens if or when she no longer wants to be content? (A reasonable question so please don't take it the wrong way)

btw... I wouldn't say I respect you in a post if I didn't mean it so no need to get defensive.
