Online porn, losing sales because of online porn, is a completely different reality, and has happened almost entirely from within.

Newspapers, magazines, etc... don't have "Social" aspects. This is why the medium was taken over. But the advertising was dieing well before the medium, just like television and the Internet is today.
Most of our Industry sells people directly, they offer no social love, support or a true connection to the product or company. No interaction from the affiliate to the surfer, or many paysite owners to the buyer.
This isn't just Online Porn - it's online EVERYTHING. Every single corner of the Internet is falling were direct marketing is applied. You can build any niche you want, mainstream or porn. Getting traffic is easy, converting it sales is hard.
Until you stop direct selling them and start providing and filling needs/wants/desires of people, creating personal connections with them. People will beg to be sold when they 'think' they have a connection with you.
But I can see from all the Twitter is stupid threads, that the majority of us simply don't get it.
