I know shooters who were selling to Private in the 90s and early 2000s and they were getting $25,000 for five scenes.
I also know that, but back in 1995 to 2000 they were spending money on shoots that no online company will.
Even today some offline shoot a level online can't or won't afford. Seems every day I get something like this from Xbiz.

And who is spending money to sue Tubes? Gay offline are.

And still Private employ Bill Wright and I heard Jack Harrison.
And then there's this statement.

And on top of that, the DVD market is not completely dead either, it still does 500-1000 dvds per title on avg.

1,000 DVDs at $10 = $10,000 with a guy in Prague shooting scenes at 800 Euros ($1,126.61) for 5 scenes that's a bill of $5633 for the content only. $4367 to edit, duplicate, box, distribue doesn't leave much money. Can't be done on 500 duplicates.
Maybe a few are doing it, but not an entire industry. Especially those who are in the middle to top.
No one knows for sure except those who were getting the checks what content was worth and only the bosses know what the company was making. We're all guessing. Even Fabian, but for sure those figures from Private don't make sense, there was other incomes. Their Cable TV channel and shops?
Obviously gideongallery is clueless about the number of good movies they made. Maybe he should go and buy a membership and find out.

Compare that content with what's on most non online only porn companies.
