Because the entertainment industry has always thrived during hard economic times. I explained that pretty thoroughly in my original posts. Porn is entertainment. Entertainment is NOT like any other business.

Just like in the early 1980's...the bar business is booming as folks will drop $100 + a night partying, movie theaters are setting records (and it costs more than a hundred bucks to take a family to the movies and hit the concession stand)...and yet people can't afford $30 for a full month membership?

I speak from experience here. If it were not for the fact that everybodies work is available for FREE we would be in a much different situation right now.

The music industry was completely destroyed by piracy. And that happened during a booming economy. Find your nearest record store if you don't believe me...oh, that's right, there aren't any. NONE.

Same thing is happening to the adult industry. Whether you believe it or not.

I played in bands professionally from 1978 to 1998 and I was there in the packed clubs playing and making great money all through the recession of the early 1980's.

There's a reason why people don't buy porn like they used to. Pretty simple to figure out really...nobody wants to pay for something that is free.
