The smart ones who got rich off adult transitioned to mainstream or investing id imagine. I’m sure there are still people making big money in adult but maybe like 1% of what it it was like back in the day where any idiot could submit galleries and make 5 figures a month.


Another reason the board probably died is because of all the retards who turned everything political. So people moved on to private groups / Reddit etc

To answer your question about why people aren’t flexing on here it’s because 1. Most people here are just getting by and don’t have money like that. 2. There is nothing to gain by flexing your money here now. It used to portray success and people would want to do business with you. Adult is dead now so that’s pointless.

Then there are people like me, who didn’t make money in adult but ended up getting rich regardless.. I’d flex on these losers because I’m petty, but the guys I don’t like don’t even post here anymore… probably because they are bust trying to make ends meet
Sums it up

I stopped posting personal stuff on here a long time ago, I have no idea who most the people who post on here are now and I suspect a lot of them don't have anything to do with the industry. There are other forums, groups, and chats with actual active people who make money in the industry who I know personally and I spend more time there.
