I see tons of image sets that would never of got to an editor in 1995, loads of elementary mistakes. Playboy down to Home Town Girls, weren't spending $5,000 to $500 on a set because any clown could shoot it. If the work didn't meet the standard of Suze Randall, Hank Londoner or me at the bottom of the ladder. You didn't make a sale because someone else did submit work that was good enough.
If magazines didn't sell in shops, the distributors didn't put them on vans.
Same with videos. You had to justify to a shop that your title on a sex shop shelf was worth the space.
There was no place for sub standard work, you couldn't put up a website and go for the traffic. Your work had to sell to a publisher and his work sometimes to distributor and then a shop. Today put up a site and throw traffic at it is 100 times easier.
If in 2005 the online porn turn over did surpass the offline porn turn over. It's spread amongst 1,000s compared to 100s. Maybe a lot of people like Damian did earn a very small income in porn. But never to the amount of the glory days. Today it's obvious what the truth is.

Did they tell you MORE IS BEING SPENT ON ONLINE PORN.
Or MORE IS BEING SPENT VIA THEM?
There's another thing to think of. What dates did they offer and did they offer a reason for the jump?
