No everyone in this industry is on the same page nor have the same priorities.
Some examples for you...
1. Some are in the traffic game, and do not give a flying fuck about the problems of the BROgrams, content producers, or small fry. As long as they can keep their traffic numbers high, their will always be some greedy, or lazy, program who will pay their ransom.
2. Not everyone is in this long term as a career or profession. They treat it like a get rich quick scheme, and making money is their main priority. They do not care how they get paid, as long as they are paid. It is something like a, "Fuck you. Pay me", from, "Goodfellas", mentality. As long as the money keeps flowing, they do not give a shit about the members, or others.
3. This industry is not a collective of people who will do anything in harmony. You are never going to get everyone to put shit behind lock and key, or streaming and no download or whatever. As soon as some move to that business model, you will have other mercenaries who use that as a sale pitch... "Come to our site. We are NOT them" type of thing.
4. In case you have not figured it out yet, so few in the online adult industry are actually business men or women with that mindset. They run their adult interests like a hobby. You do not believe it? Ask around.
How many actually have/do the following...
1. An LLC?
2. A business checking account completely separate from their personal assets?
3. A CPA
4. Report and pay accurate taxes, including ePassporte money received?
5. Subscribe to and read the trades?
6. Make over $XXX,XXX.00 a year? Or even high $XX,XXX.00 profit?
I bet you will be very surprised at the answers if people are truthful.
