Is there someone here who would turn down $30,000 monthly?

Probably there is
You could say that you turned down whatever he was offering - dunno if that was $1 or $29,999 - but you obviously thought your feeds were more valuable than what he would pay... so saying no to money happens ;-)))
Now the really interesting thing about how things have been moving in adult is that sometime in the future, you will probably accept much less for your feeds, than you do today. And at that time his offer might be very attractive - now ofcourse his overall income per surfer would probably be less than today, so if he has not made up the difference in extra volume, then the question will be if he can/will give you the same offer...
Its the irony of the adult business - we keep competing on the easiest parameter in business - price (whatever if it is membership price or payout to affiliates), and we end up with having to do more volume to make the same money... the irony kicks in, when we realise that the price is actual less important in adult than other parameters, which most use little time to explore (just think how the few adult programs who have made millions in the last years were different, than the many who lost marketshare, and you will see some of the missing parameters ;-))
So we keep degrading adult products and hope to make it up in volume, but at some point the growth will stop, because endless growth in any business do not exsist
No one can be blamed for this - its just a product of our "free mentality" ;-))
