But I have to agree - we've seen a lot of colleagues in the bdsm/fetish niche close shop in the past year or so. Whether they're still producing content and just not choosing to run a paysite any longer...I don't know for sure.

But the herd is definitely thinning somewhat.
Agreed.

Most of the other foot providers I liked, and that had inspired me, to go into the content game 6 years back are now either all the way out of business, or barely doing updates. A lot of my favorites have just vanished, and the army of replacements are so far off the market it is not funny.

While they may be HD, and big budget produced. I can see most of them are not even close to what most tickling, or foot fetish folk, prefer in their clips. From my own feedback, and experience from members and patrons. As well as reading the forums and boards.

I also agree with you that lifestyle mom and pops will produce regardless of this economy, and will weather the storm as long as they are in it for the enjoyment. Basically filming their personal lives, or fetish, for their enjoyment and share with others.
