OK, here is where I make myself unpopular again:
The problem with porn today is simple: Most (not all) webmasters are too busy blaming someone/something else for the problem to do anything about it.
Things like tube sites eat traffic and spew out free porn, but they are not the problem. The economic downturn means that there is less money on the table, but that is not the problem. The problem is that webmasters moan about them rather than change their ways to avoid them, they just say "it is impossible" and hide their little heads in the sand.
Bottom line: if it is not working, change things, if it is still not working change things some more, then keep changing things until it works. Just moaning about the economy, tube sites, etc and doing nothing to fix things for yourself is the first sign that you are truly incompetent.
There are four types of adult webmaster:
1) The hobbyist who is just here to have fun, and any money he/she makes is a bonus.
2) The webmaster who has found his/her way through their downturn and is making good money.
3) The webmaster who has not yet found his/her way through the downturn, but is actively working on it.
4) The webmaster who accepts that the downturn is irreversible and that he/she will never make as much money as they used to make in the "good old days".
Types 1, 2, and 3 are in the right business - but type 4 should give up running their own websites and hire themselves out as a contract webmaster. They do not have the mind set necessary to make money themselves and can save themselves a lot of hardship and heartache by quiting ASAP.
Sadly, reading this thread, there are a lot of people here in group 4.
