You should do an AMA here in this thread about the industry!
I'll start. What are some common misconceptions about the industry in general and what do you think about the accuracy of the article and how it paints the industry?

And to add to that, how accurate was the documentary on Netflix, "Hot Girls Wanted"?

Steve Jobs was such a piece of work. As if browsers don't exist.

#7"salaries somewhere in the low six figures" I'm so sorry! At least when the porn industry collapses I will have my stash of torrented porn to rely on. In other news: walled garden are bad for everyone.

#8Wired really has dropped in quality, publishing articles that state the obvious and do little to advance critical thought.
Perhaps it is a sign of the times that the lack of original content has led to content-mill-esque pieces that aren't the least bit provactive or controversial.

#9Back in the day, when porn was in the big online bubble state, sites would offer over $.50/click to their site. When I first started (ab)using that system, the sites immediately bumped it to $.25/click and then $.10/click, and now I think its like $.000034/click, or basically nothing. They would also give you additional money for actual sign ups, and had a bonus day on every month where you made a significant amount more for sign ups.
Ultimately I think I cashed in like $7000 when I was 12 before shit hit the fan and the company my buddy and I were using sent him a check that bounced. It was tough explaining it to our parents, but ultimately everyone knew about alladvantage and we would always say it was something similar to that. We also cashed in on alladvantage, I think it was $20/month just to have the thing on for a few hours.

So I just signed up for a Mikandi account, you know, just to explore a little...
A couple of things:
1. I tried buying account credit (aka "Mikandi Gold"), but it wouldn't work, looks like jQuery isn't being loaded, error from console:
> ReferenceError: $ is not defined [1]
2. Do you guys accept Bitcoin/cryptocurrency? If not, why? Seems like the perfect venue for it, I would think most geeks wouldn't want those types of purchases tied to their credit card.
