Somehow stumbled upon this article on the net. For anyone who is interested in the digital content business, or the history of GC, it is overall a really nice read, like those on the main site. (It's a little long and a little less entertaining, though.)
However, one point struck me quite a bit is the financial aspect of it:
So... I can't help but ponder:
400 * $67 = $26.8K = 2017 Sales (not trying to troll but... the team was able to survive/thrive with say $25K for all those years?! Kudos)
2018 Sales > 2017 Sales * 3.5 = $93.8K, say $100K
2019 Sales > 2018 Sales, say in the ballpark of $100-150K range
Given that 2020 was quite a year, how has GC been doing financially since the pandemic? Doesn't seem to get mentioned in that Medium article other than a little hint from a paragraph:
The reason that it struck me though is I have always thought that GC is doing more close to what Zoominfo predicts: https://www.zoominfo.com/c/girls-chase-inc/346344075 (Well maybe not $15M, but in the $0.5M-1M range) Guess their model overweights traffic, which is not Chase's priority as you can tell from that Medium article.
(And interesting description, too: "GirlsChase.com is the leader in hot online hookup forum action. There is nothing taboo on this this wild message board. Let our site help you realize your darke...")
Another thing that relates to finance is on the cost side and that has to do with the increasing level of censorship, which I think Chase touched upon in the 2020 Review article. I mean it is really stunning how Big Tech can just boot a business like Parler out of the digital ecosystem in a snap of a finger. I don't and can't believe that they would refuse doing business with an innocent site like this, or maybe I just haven't witnessed enough, but if the cloud providers decide to not provide services to a site they perceive to be too scandalous and too risky (or could be some hardcore SJW/feminist crusader happening to be in that job post), just intellectually speaking how much hit will there be on the cost side for an online business like this? Hopefully our fellow seducers on any forum will never be stupid enough to assemble together and storm a club, though.
I know it might not be the best time to discuss money and finance issue for everyone, but I am just broadly curious about business and genuinely wish GC would be doing well. We all know that this is the stuff we want our sons and grandsons to read about.
A side note: is that Chase banner on a building a real thing?
However, one point struck me quite a bit is the financial aspect of it:
We sold almost 400 copies of the product in a 4-day launch sale and did almost as much revenue from that 4-day launch as we had from the entire previous year’s sales. Our revenues in 2018 were 3.5x higher than 2017’s revenues (and 2017 was a high watermark for us). We hit about 55% profit that year, too. 2019 saw higher revenues but lower profits.
So... I can't help but ponder:
400 * $67 = $26.8K = 2017 Sales (not trying to troll but... the team was able to survive/thrive with say $25K for all those years?! Kudos)

Our advertising accounts vanished, our search engine traffic went from a million a month to 500,000 a month to 200,000 a month to 100,000 a month. And sales declined.
