Yes I still see overloading the industry with crap sites, affiliates and making it easy for more to join as a mistake.

Imagine an industry that still converted at the same rate as Newsgroups or link lists did, with the millions of more surfers we have.


Okay a lot of the growth is in countries with a low income, but anyone who can afford a computer, laptop, mobile phone and wathes porn is a target to sign up.

A few did speak up and say we were on a slippery slope giving away as much porn as possibe and calling it marketing. They were ignored and look at where we are today.
