There would be far more innovation in this industry if that wasn't the case.

Im newer to the industry, and Ive noticed this as well. Coming from running a mainstream business (developing eLearning systems for the government on contracts) to the adult web business, my husband and I brought along our past experience of adaptability, hard work, and long-term goals. But as we networked, come to find out, many people in (web) adult had no real concept of professional business practices, trend analysis, ect...
Unfortunately for newer businesses like ours that have a more modern and fluid business model, the gatekeepers of many high traffic sources still function a bit in the past. I need 50,000 people a day exposed to my work and brand, not 2000. Thats our major barrier. But, the answer is simply 'give it time'. The market always evolves and fixes itself, its just a long process sometimes.
