I believe that live interactive communication IS OBVIOUSLY a huge factor in the future of online porn. Clearly that is a total "Captain Obvious" statement.
The problem with that future is it is a great future for ambitious models, but not so much for most of the rest of us.
Models can market themselves on social sites, they can interact DIRECTLY with their fans via webcams, and they can definitely make bank.
Running a site that allows for this inter-connectivity may be an option for some of us, but in the end I doubt there will be thousands of such sites, in the same way that there are millions of current porn sites.
That leads us back to where we are now - which is selling compelling scenes, that are filmed for the purpose of resale (memberships, clips 4 sale, etc.).
As long as this business model is robbed of its worth by an endless supply of free and stolen content, it is hard to be positive about the future... unless you are a hot chick who can assume the role of a cyber-prostitute.
I guess inventors can do well, creating interactive "real-touch" style hardware and software to assist in the live cyber-sex experiences, but this plan additionally rules most of us out.
In the end, people like porn, but also in the end, people like to hold on to their money.
If they can NOT get porn for free they will pay for it. If they CAN get porn for free, they are less likely to pay. Another "Captain Obvious" statement, I know.
Guys will pay for live escorts, and are now paying for live cyber-escorts as well.
Again, if you are a hot chick, this is all great news. If you are a guy running a porn site... not so much.
