If you want to find a job or a used car, just go online, and find classifieds... instantly.
The internet just makes more sense, with less overhead - like online porn vs going to your local video rental store to rent DVDs. It is much easier, and less embarrassing.
Porn sold online because people liked porn. It was always recession-proof, because people liked and wanted the taboo treat that is porn.
Now porn is free, and the industry only has itself to blame. The age-old question, why buy the cow when the milk is free, comes to mind.
Everyone who can't see that adult is clearly eating itself, make statements like, you need to change and evolve. Of course that is true with all business, but tell me how the LARGEST online porn companies have changed.
Reality Kings for example, sells porn memberships. Now they utilize more tubes and blogs than before, but they still make thier money from online porn memberships. The only difference is that now they likely make much less profit than they did 5 years ago, like almost ALL adult websites.
Say whatever you want, but as long as a product is free, it will not sell as well as a product that is locked down.
When a liquor store offers a free wine tasting they allow their customers to "sample" their wines, in hopes of selling bottles and cases of same. They do not give away bottles and cases to boost sales, but that is now what the people in adult are doing... giving everything away for free.

This is really simple to understand. In the mid to late 90's, the 1980's porn companies were telling us to fuck off, were weren't the future, blah blah blah.
They were very wrong... mainstream porn may have died faster, but it wasn't dead and mainstream media didn't start to die, until Social Media took off.
Right now, at this very second and any other second during the day. Millions, hundreds of millions of people, aren't looking at free porn content. They don't hunt for it, don't care to search for porn.. they are to busy doing other shit, to care about us.
Right now... Social Media is LARGER than porn, it has overtaken it in searches, it dwarfs it in uses.
You have more people, NOT looking at porn, than you do, hundreds of millions at this very second.
And you think... Free Porn, keeps them from buying? Lord man, the video game industry is bigger than porn, it has more eyeballs at this second than porn does!
Wake up. Stop SELLING to people that won't BUY in the first place.
