We can't point the finger at one thing or a few things as "the problem". Pretty much every thing you can think of as a possible cause has some validity. But what it truly boils down to is that (in general) the online adult industry has not evolved at all. We have been quite sheepish. Following short sighted trends and burning them out all to be damned, while the rest of the internet moves forward.
It's time for "Porn 2.0", so to speak. That capability lies in the internet. Instead of trying to "fix" the current model, how about someone comes up with some new ways to really push the limits of what is possible thanks to the web.
That porn MMO... Red Light Center. Fucking brilliant. Things like that, that seem crazy and you're not sure if it's even gonna work. That's business. I'm sure we all have wild ideas like that (myself included) - it's time to employ them. I said in a blog comment a short time ago, something like "...is it better to spend money investing in the future, or grasping for the past?"
I've already taken some time to speculate on where the future of the skin biz is. And I've started setting up myself accordingly. But I am just a lowly traffic pusher. I need to push that traffic to companies that are pioneering.
