The competition to sell sets was high because the returns were high. Editors knew that if they paid shit money they would get shit sets, have a shit product and customers would turn away.
Sponsors thought if they pay a shit price, the customers who turned away would be replaced by new ones. Didn't work for very long did it?
I don't blame people like Bradly, JustDave, Jim Gunn, etc. They are forced to work for sponsors who under value the worth of content.
I was lucky, got in before the Internet, honed the little skills I have and came to a place where great new girls popped up every week. Otherwise I suppose I would be in the same boat as they are. |
Your sentence above "got in before the Internet, honed the little skills I have and came to a place where great new girls popped up every week" could have just as easily come from my keyboard Paul. I don't feel that the lucky part applies however. I put in my time, formed a lot of great relationships and worked hard at improving a lot of different skills as well. I'm not forced to do anything, of course, and the difference is I am still in the game in a big way. One might even say that I'm in the same place you were twenty years ago but using my own style and today's modern technology to shoot porn that sells, make money and build up my own content library for my own eventual retirement. Not anytime soon though. :-)
