This is a porn business forum, correct?

Sorry for being snarky, but these kinds of posts always get me riled up.

Discussions of sponsors that cross-sell, the impact of cross-selling on the industry are constructive. Comments like this are pure, unadultered rubbish.

As a woman in this business, I'm sorry you feel that way. My job depends on folks pulling out their cards, just like yours does. However, I ALSO am a consumer of our product - and frankly, I've been burned more than once by having my card jacked by cross-sold BS - and if I've been burned by it, working with this business, and I'm mistrustful of having it done again, how do you think the average consumer feels?

Several of my clients are here, and we've all been hurt by damage to the consumer market - in all aspects.

Think what you will, but by and large, if it's not someone I work with, I have a hard time ponying up my hard-earned cash to purchase, and so do most of our consumers. It's worth thinking about.
