It's the same reason you can still buy magazines and DVDs. Huge decline in sales. Massive decline. But there is obviously enough money in it for some to still be doing it.

I edited it to make it more like the real picture.
So when there are no sales or very few, then we react?
No good businessmen start to look at the alternatives now. The days of throwing tons of traffic at crap sites in the hope someone will buy are coming to an end. A sensible marketing policy would be to look at solutions now. For some that solution will be mainstream, for some it will be offline. But for those in online porn they have to start thinking of the solutions today.
Not when it's finally over. Then they won't have enough money left to effect a solution. I suspect for some with their blinkered thinking, they don't have the skills to adapt.

If they have a bad experience, they'll tell everyone" philosophy. If you believe that, as I do, programs like the above are chasing away current and future business.
Programs like 'Geecash' need to be boycotted, affiliates who support said programs need to be called out and openly criticized, and websites who accept their blood money in return for advertising need to tell them to take their money and shove it up their ass. Just my humble opinion.

Agreed 101%. It's common to see the sponsors flamed. But what about the affiliates sending them traffic. This business has never thought much beyond it's next paycheck. Over the last 10 years the customers needs have been largely ignored. today you see the result.
