(3 Comments)$220,000 in daily revenues mean nothing when you have to pay out more than that to performers, resellers, and overrides to the reseller who referred the first reseller. Porn companies are hurting these days. Free porn is easy to come by with sites like porn-tube, x-tube, etc, and the old business models of the 1990s just don't work anymore.
This isn't a porn company trying to recruit kids into porn, and her suggestion is one of the most asinine things I've ever read.
This is a porn company abandoning ship in hopes of becoming the biggest thing since myspace and you-tube.
duh.
