Can this industry survive?

So here I'm converting pretty well. But conversions have been going down across all sponsors and my best converting just raised their trial price from $1 to $4.95 and conversions went from 1:100 to 1:1100.

Now that may help them but it totally screws me. To the point of why bother.

Obviously they must have been losing money...but It also seems that over the last two week nothing is converting very well.

I'm really starting to wonder how long before all of the program close up. Not trying to be negative but let's be real it's easier to find porn on google video search than signup at a site or navigate some members areas.

I personally check out all sites I promote and if I would not stay a member I won't promote it.

I don't see how anyone is still making money really. I mean sure if you have a huge 1000 site network that's been around for years. But to take the time to build a network now is it even worth it?

Or do I just need new sponsors?

I miss the days that I could just point domains for type in traffic and collect checks.

But Free will always have a huge and unfair advantage over what you have to pay for.

And people seem to be of the mindset these days that they don't want to pay for anything digital these days, screw the hard work & money people put into it.

PS: I know porn will always be around but, this industry as it is now I don't see surviving for long, unless they do what I have been saying for 10 years, stop giving out from content ad start using DRM. Look at the Digital Playground site, no downloads and all streaming content.

The best thing that could happen to this industry is the GOV. banning all porn that does not have a credit card screen or age verification.
