Stupidity know no bounds.

No one in the adult business is EVER talking about all the great content magazines produced or published. That should tell you something.
It does, you guys couldn't afford us.

You're under the illusion I was going to give you part of my studio, one of my staff and my equipment to shoot cheap sets. Why would I do that when the operation I had was shooting content you couldn't afford?

Now supply is high and people like you collapsed and failed quickly due to the abundance of BETTER choices,
You predicted that in 2004. Seems you got it wrong then. As you have now.

consumers being more aware of whats available, consumers maturing and understanding where to find that which suits their tastes and where consumers are no longer being force fed tired, boring crap which is all you ever produced. Your content was never anything more than cheap filler content for tgps. It was never the content driving sales. It was never the content showcased in designs and tours. It was just filler content. Just as it is today.
Which is why a few companies with deep pockets are moving up to the niches and quality that used to be available offline from so many suppliers.

What ever style we shot for offline is a stupid refuge for the ignorant. Off line we had companies from Homegrown right the way up to Playboy. Online invented nothing new in porn. It did allow many niches that were cottage industries offline to flourish under their own banner online.

There's no niche, no style that is exclusive to online porn. If there was it would be so tiny it wouldn't sell. The main difference for shooters was the money. I could earn more turning out my content than any site would pay me. Maybe all the magazines were stupid to pay us so much. Then all the shooters shooting custom for peanuts were equally stupid or may be more so. Because the pay was far better on our side of the fence.

Today companies are opening better quality porn sites. Babes.com, orgasms.xxx, whengirlsplay.com, joining sites like Met-Art.com and others who dominated that market for a long while. It makes complete sense, because the stuff that 90% of the online sites churn out can be churned out be a lot of people. To produce better quality takes the magic ingredient most online shooters don't possess.

As Squealer points out the supply is high of the bottom to average level porn. So move up or move out.

Squealer, what exactly do you do? So we can see if you have a clue beyond make posts on GFY. Otherwise we can assume you're just another jealous traffic shoveller.
