Not from my own experiences. There's something people will say about that, I'm sure.

My statements are from studying businesses in other industries with similar histories/circumstances and from generally accepted business teachings. History has a habit of repeating itself and I believe studying what made some businesses succeed and other fails is a worthy exercise.

I enjoy following technology and business news and have done so from a young age. I have always had a gift for predicting trends and knowing what the next big trend is going to be. I also love strategy. Sun Tzu especially. What I was talking about above is taken directly from that. It just makes sense. You don't need experience to know if you ignore reality and just keep doing the same thing you're not going to have much success.

Other businesses have faced similar challenges and have adapted. So will porn. It's inevitable.

Also, I've had the unique opportunity to see the industry from many perspectives (porn consumer, photographer, videographer, agent at an agency, programmer, webmaster, affiliate).

I'm holding back a lot of my strategy because it would be extremely easy for someone with the right resources to completely dominate the industry if they saw the future I see and had the plan I have. Bold claim, yes, but I am confident of it.
