Well i just read the article online and i have to say, while it was well written, it doesnt really say much of anything of substance, it seems again that it is filled with individuals taking jabs at their competitors, complaining how they are losing sales because of declines (which realistically they wouldnt have had anyway) and doesnt really take in to account the mom and pop adult webmaster/producer/company.

Its a shame really because Advocate had a really great opportunity to get in the midst of the gay porn industry yet they chose to go with individuals who used them as a way of taking pot shots at others and didnt really say anything of worth to anybody.

Why cant any of these places writing about the porn industry actually do something to get inside the industry and see what it is actually like, sitting in on a porn shoot is not what the industry is about, just because someone is getting 10 declined membership transactions a day, that doesnt mean that they have lost $10k in revenue, thats like me saying last year i lost $1 million in sales because 300,000 surfers hit my tours and didnt join.... Its a totally bogus number.

No mention of the hours upon hours upon hours of work a lot of site owners put in to their websites, no mention of the adult webmaster community, no mention of the real problems we're facing as an industry, like newbies flooding the net with free porn hoping to make sales when they dont actually know what they are doing, this for example is more of a threat to the online adult industry than tube sites and piracy could ever be, there must be thousands of newbies building hundreds of free sites every day that never make any sales but put millions upon millions of free pics on the web.

A shame, this could have been a really good news story.
