The truth. A problem is those supplying Internet porn think the customer is like them. He's not and he's not hanging round sites like Facebook to get off.
I have been in this business a bit longer than most of you and I can tell you where it went wrong. It's lack of knowledge of the customer. You can't market to someone you don't understand.
20 years ago I was selling videos, via mail order, that Astral Blue is made up of. Today I have people signing up who used to buy from me in the 80s. The bulk of that business came off the mailing list. It was largely the same people buying month in and month out. The magazine business was also based mostly on their mailing list and any porno shop owner would tell you it was the same faces buying over and over.
Then the Video and magazine business went the route of my content would bring more revenue. Worked for a few years. Then no matter how many titles were published revenue stayed the same, then it started to fall. People were not buying more porn, they just had more porn to buy. So lots of publishers reacted by cutting prices paid for content which led to the quality falling. The scenes were all starting to look the same.
This was before the Internet could deliver a video without is being compressed to thumb nail size.
So the fall of porn revenues was a long time coming.
If a paysite can't compete with free porn, then whose fault is that?

Why was bangbus so popular?
Were the girls hotter than average?
No, actually the reverse in most cases.
Was their great lighting/sound/production quality?
No, the shit was shot in the back of a van.
It was just fun to watch. It seemed real. It was funny.

A lot of truth in what you say. Today too much porn is just a clone of too many other scenes. No matter how high you pile crap it's still crap.
