Are you for real ? Visa's cut of $10 billion dollars is not chump change regardless how many gazillion dollars a year they make.
You don't even know the most influencial people in online porn, as they do not hang out on message boards, and they do not go to IA 2000 or any other 'webmaster events', so I'd say you are very poorly qualified in saying that they have no clout with the banks that clear them ?
Everybody who is known on messageboards is merely an internet entrapeneur, who do not even make 5% of corporate online porn.
Man are you ever naive
I bet you've been brainwashed into thinking whoever you promote or work for are 'movers and shakers' of the industry ... hold onto that facade for as long as you can ...
Maybe Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy buy site memberships too!
