Now I may be perhaps rambling but I am speculating that the recent acquisitions of various porn companies by Manwin could additionally be heralding the death of the affiliate model. I also have not done a lot of homework on this, so my thoughts on the matter may just be bullshit but you never know.

Think about it.

GFY has for the most part gone to shit with infighting, Ad Hominem attacks and little real discussion of business matters and how to promote the industry.

Lots of "Join My Program" but not a lot after that.

Think about it.

WTF does a company like Manwin need with a bunch of fuckers like those who hang around here? A few hundred in-house people could do anything and everything that the affiliates are currently doing and the cost of paying affiliates would be eliminated. A real accessory benefit would be that the bullshit of the kind seen here on GFY as well as on other sites would be eliminated. Manwin could exercise total control over its marketing methods, not have to fuck around with every Tom, Dick and Harry who imagines himself an adult webmaster.

Were I an aff manager for Manwin I would look at applications and upon finding that the applicant was a GFY memeber, write back, "Thank you for your application. Denied. Have a nice day!"

Why would any aff manager want to put up with people who engage in the kind of bullshit that goes on aroudn here?

Much easier to hire in-house people on a salary-plus-commission basis to do the same job! In-house merchant account, in-house promotional software, in-house people.

In short, total and complete control with ALL of the money moving through the parent company's merchant account.

As I wrote at the beginning of this tome, these are sort of random thoughts, I haven't finished thinking about it and am only looking for your input.
