The major reason this industry is hurting now, in my opinion, more than it has ever in the past has little to do with Tubes, Credit Cards, or the Economy.....in a word, COMPETITION.
Ask most programs who their biggest competitor is and they will name some other program.........AND THEY ARE WRONG! Twisty's (for example) biggest competitor is Facebook. Yes, Facebook....and Twitter, and now even Chat Roulette. It is the sites that are taking surfing time away from our potential customers. Now, when someone wants to go online and be "entertained" they can check out their friends on FB, or they can find something cool to Tweet about, or they can whip out their cock, fire up the cam, and hit Chat Roulette for a while until then find something that interests them.
Until recently, this industry had a seemingly endless supply of potential customers with no entertainment options. Before, once you caught up on the news from CNN.COM and then caught up on your sports from ESPN.COM you were left with nothing but Porn....now there is a plethora of options for your entertainment time.
The companies who can either (1) figure out a way to entice those potential customers to come back to the porn side or (2) survive until these other options have run their course and hope there is not a "next generation" coming behind them, will enjoy the "good old days" once again in the future.
Of course, everything I have stated is just my opinion....I could be wrong.
