Those that adapt, that learn, that evolve, that don't cling to old ways, who look for innovation, and have REASONABLE EXPECTATIONS are the ones who survive year after year and even thrive.

(Not talking about the scum and card-banger-types who use Adult for their money-laundering schemes etc...)

Let's say you can earn 50k a year selling porn online. Guess WHAT? Be happy. Be ECSTATIC for you could be working at Wal-Mart or a shoe store or cummuting hours a day wasting your existence.

"Oh but I USED TO make x times MORE..." Well, either find another biz where you can earn what you USED TO earn (unlikely) or stop bitching, realize you have a pretty happy life and continue to try and grow (and adapt).

Or just keep bitching. Everyone loves a bitcher.
