Sorry if i'm stating the very very very obvious

However!!!
There are others who're deserve blame.
Affiliates who sent card bangers traffic.
Paysite owners who spent 50% sending traffic and 5% on the product. Play with the figures, the principal is still there.
Affiliates who sent the above traffic.
Sponsors with sites that didn't live up to their claims.
Affiliates who sent traffic to any site that didn't live up to their claims.
Sponsors with small sites.
Those who thought all it took to create good porn was a digital camera.
Those who thought content producers were less valuable than affiliates. Or should earn less.
This is a very valid point. The accusation is that offline porn didn't understand the online porn. They did. They understood fans of "Buttman" could get 300 scenes for $30 instead of buying 5 scenes for $30. At anytime an online porn company could of walked into an offline porn producers office and made an offer he couldn't refuse.
Yes I know I keep saying our main markets were worth $3,000 a scene. Still if a porn site had come to any one of us and made an offer to pay a competitive price for us to produce for them. We would of. Not just me, Suze Randal down to me. Truth is the big sponsors were more interested in buying from someone who had just picked up a camera.
Same goes for offline missing the boat. We didn't we were on a ship that was sailing very nicely and feeding our children. All online needed to do was "Show us the money" to get us to change ships.
