You can't really call this an industry, if it is, it's like no other industry that is likely to exist. The only industry where a guy is happy to lose money running his two bit paysite and continues to lose money because he's kidded himself he's a businessman but really he just loves shooting the gonzo and getting his rocks off. Kind of a subsidised escort thing
This is prevalent in the UK, don't know about USA. Prior to the tubes I used to bang on about CCbill and Epoch raising their minimum payouts from $25 to..... I dunno $500 as a way of helping the "industry". Maybe that can still help, simple answer is you have to kill the tubes, porn is not just "porn" like "tv" is not just TV. We all watch porn, we all watch TV. Guys will always wank/jerk/fap and will eventually bore of grainy, lagging tube sites and look for new models, themes, fetishes. The tubes need to be killed off before that new cycle starts.
