This doesn't really have much to do with technology in my opinion.
Tube sites aren't doing anything "technologically" that Claudia Marie's paysite doesn't do. (CM's site runs on mech bunny)
I could see the point you're making if suddenly a new technology (like holographic porn or full sensory porn) came around...or a different delivery method was available and paysites didn't take advantage of it.
But that's not what's happening here.
Tube sites are using the same "Technology" as we do (tube script and the internet).
Stealing and giving everything away in mass volume to make some money off of advertising spots selling cam sites isn't "technology". It's simply devaluing the actual PORN.
Yeah, I know that obsolete things like were mentioned (horse and buggy) are by the very definition of "obsolete" a very big "downward curve" lol
But porn isn't "obsolete".
The problem is, it's devalued. So selling the actual PORN itself (you know, the golden goose that made so many people rich) is being destroyed by the tube sites full of complete scenes and even whole members areas (and of course file lockers, bit torrents, etc.)
It isn't like somebody came along with a great new technology to SELL PORN and it suddenly rendered paysites obsolete.
Nope.
Even the people who come on here trying to claim they make great sales with tube sites are basing their claims on PAYSITE SALES.
No paysites aren't obsolete. They are just being destroyed by having their "product" given away for free.
There should be no "downward curve" for porn. Everyday new people turn 18 and can perform in porn. Everyday a person gets their first bank account and credit card. Everyday the number of people online with computers and mobile devices and gaming stations grows (it shocked me to see how much traffic Claudia Marie's site gets from Playstations. lol)
It went up, up, and up...until the perfect storm hit: The explosion of tubes and pirate sites coupled with a bad economy.
Yeah, people don't want to spend money on porn..but the ones with credit cards would. They spend money every day going to movie theaters to watch the latest Hollywood movie.
But if you give away an impulse buy (like porn) for free? Forget about it.
Only a few of us are still able to make good money. And that's only by "adapting" (for me, it's focusing on interaction and things that can't be stolen).
But it sure does suck to realize that the foundation of all this (the actual PORN) is so devalued.
