As papill0n hasn't come back to tell us how my thinking is flawed. Let me tell him about the proof online porn's fundamentally flawed.

The proof is obvious, all signs are that the industry is in decline. Other than a few people telling us they are doing better than ever, with no or little proof, it's clear that sales of pre recorded porn are falling. The notion that Dating and Cams are picking up the lost revenue is absurd.

Why.

It has always been the supreme aim of the industry online to put driving traffic above everything else. The prime tool of driving traffic is to give the product away for free in vast quantities and leave it online for free consumption. That has always hit sales. The only thing that compensated for the loss of sales were more surfers coming online.

Now that's slowed in places worth selling to and with the introductions of the latest free porn, in Tubes and Free Cams. We are suffering. Some are adapting and diversifying, by going to mainstream or giving away more free porn than the next man. Ultimately the decline will stop, because there will be little left worth selling and little worth giving away. It's only a question of time.

Yes moron papill0n the sensible thing is to worry about your business. And how it survives in an industry it's helping to destroy. Maybe you will make it to a level you can retire. If you haven't got it in your sights now, get out of porn.
