Now take this from a standpoint of me, we're working with real people only, and the sex is therefore real and extremely spontaneous, so I don't necessarily fancy regular porn

Like drugs 10% drug 90% baking soda.

The fact is that the internet has ended censorship for practical purposes.
That's true, I heard about a guy smuggling one beta tape with porn behind the iron curtain selling it for $ 100 in the prices before 35 years, so might be around 600 - 800 $ these days, considering inflation and the change of purchasing power.

Yes and that's "product" that will get more and more in vogue, as that content that producers take as "quality" is in many cases the same bullshit they are producing for over 10 years with the same fake models, same shooting, same fake moaning, and that's all over the place

Well, we're not talking rocket science, what can be a value added to something that's supposed to cause erection to a male and help him to get off?

Favorite model, favorite practices, favorite fetish, favorite style of shooting (pov) maybe they can use the jerk off machine from AEBN but I don't think you can get much further than that

It's all about targeting, then again there's something beyond porn - real sex, I strongly believe this will get more and more popular to watch as people can now see 1000's of scenes with same fake actors same fake sex and same fake scenario

Might be because the internet is full of those "attractive" but absolutely fake performers, so I would always rather prefer someone natural, who'll show real temperament

I would rather say targeting the audience than "skills" - we're again at the marketing, produce something, target the right audience, try to make a living

So far this industry also showed a cutting edge in dumbness, all that you mention above would have 500 pct. more potential if there was an existing "business" environment.

I mean i like Andrew Blake for example, it's nice work and beautiful women etc. I consider him to be an artist. I will be glad to review your works.

But, at the end of the day, if I need a fast jerk off (hypothetically ) then I will just want to immediately push play and see something / anything that turns me on and do it, not to think if I should play this movie or that movie, or if that one has better lightning, if it makes sense.. so I wouldn't count on quality being much of a competitive advantage to general audience.

Make it rare and you'll sell again.
