There are no more webmasters...

[Hell Puppy]

One thing that really kinda stood out for me at Cybernet, and the previous couple of shows as well, is that the traditional "webmaster" is dead.

What do I mean by traditional webmaster? I'm talking about the guys who make a living in this business without a separate day job. Guys who work for themselves only and derive their income from the adult web.

Most of the guys doing that you meet now have a day job or some other action on the side. Nothing at all wrong with that, but it's just a sign that the little guy is getting squeezed out slowly unless he wants to relegate it to a hobby.

Now this is not to say that there are NONE out there doing it, there are still some who make millions with domains or other sources of major traffic, but they are few in number now.
