I think a lot more are in the porn business today than used to be, if you count affiliates it must run into the 10,000 if not 100,000s. Then all the Ma & Pa operations with sites. It has to be more than those who use to be in porn, unless you count the 100,000s of shops around the world selling a Playboy to an Amateur Home Grown movie.
Were all the newsagents selling Playboy in porn? Not really, they sold it along with the daily paper and confectionery. Even though they generated a huge income for the porn industry for them it was only part of their business.
Could all the new comers to direct porn selling porn markets generate the huge profits needed to sustain earnings all round. Or where earnings all round shared out of the same amount?
Some think the Online porn industry generated millions of new revenue. They point to new markets. Well traffic and sign up figures show the truth. The income came from countries that were already buying porn.
Were people who were unable to buy porn in their State, or just had a few titles, suddenly buying porn is vast quantities? That's illogical. People with an interest in a product like porn would of bought it where ever they were to the strength available. By under the counter, mail order or driving to where they could buy it. And people without enough interest to have a minimal quantity of porn haven't developed their porn tastes to start going out and buying loads.
The idea of these people opening sites is laughable. They hardly know the product, hardly know what they like, know what is good and not the best people to shoot porn. Brazzers and Mofos, along with a lot of other sites are still run by these people and content shot by them. They have so many basic mistakes it's obvious to anyone, including customers, that it's not very good.
A huge amount of revenue that used to be spent offline was now spent online. Because it was easier, because it was cheaper and a lot was not spent. Because it was free.
If you can only see your bank account ad listen to all the other bros telling how they're making millions. Then it's hard to imagine that a lot was coming from elsewhere. People believed they were doing something unique, different and ground breaking.
