Personally, I still post here because when I am working for several hours I need to take short breaks. Some times I take the short break here.

Because I still make a lot more doing this than anything else and I am good at what I do, and every day am working to make more and more money. The pie might shrink but I only need a little bit bigger piece to be doing better than I did last year and the year before etc.

I don't agree. I think saturation of "competitors" had very little to do with. The industry exploded in the early 2000, not in the last couple years when everything took a dive for most people. Saturation of full length videos (tube sites) in the last couple years + the credit card crunch has done the vast majority of the damage. When the credit card banks wiped out a lot of available credit a couple years ago plus the record bankruptcies, foreclosures, and unemployment, in the matter of a couple years time our customer base shrunk big time because of the lack of people with money available on the credit cards that they could use to spend on porn.

With the tube sites getting ranked well and more and more people finding the tube sites, and your content ending up on tube sites even your SE traffic will tank over time.

We have a few customers who have been rebilling since 1999. It blows my mind.
