everybody knows 'adapt or die'. and it doesn't take much looking around in this place to see that there's a fuck of a lot of dying going on.
it's hard to have sympathy for seymour butts and all the old videotape brand names. But, I recall many of the brand names brought their content to the net, from private and puritan in the beginning, to max hardcore and dirty debutantes, hustler and the like - none of them did great, especially in the middle period, 2004-2008, most are long gone.
you can count the ones who succeeded without using too many fingers.
so there must be something in the business model that doesn't work for the old videotape production content companies.
profit margin I have always assumed, big difference between 30 bucks a tape and 20 bucks a magazine, and 30 bucks a month for a hundred tapes on hard drives in a membership site, to a few cents ad revenue or a few bucks affiliate revenue for content on a modern day traffic site.
your business Far-L was always based on specialized content, even way back in the xeroxed catalog days. and low cost production.
adapt or die, but, it does not look like nearly anybody is making money hand-over-fist these days. When you have to say "there's still money in porn". the reason it makes sense is because so many have died.
