No it hasn't. It has re-organzied and shifted into a tighter focus. Plenty of people still go to shows (fuck man, there's a fucking show nearly every WEEK somewhere around the world, ask JFK and Baddog) and attendance is GROWING.
The people who have 'left the Industry' have either taken their wealth and moved onto other things or were never 'Lifers' to begin with. No, I think it's because the Industry is undergoing a massive consolodation of resources, which means less 'players' (not 'playas') and a tighter focus on in-housr revenues. Meaning less affiliates are required or sought after which means less affiliates to keep GFY pumping.
Also remember that back in the Golden Days circa 2000-2005 you didn't need to be a 'real webmaster' to make even decent money online. I know because it's this 'hey even an amateur can do it!' mentality is what drove me to choose the Adult Industry in the first place. Now, these days, with a medium-sized company, I am a 'professional' meaning this is how I make my money and feed my family. I think many 'amateur' affiliates have moved on since it now takes real focus, energy and resources to even hold steady in this ever-changing biz.
PS: I used to wank it to your ex-wife, pre-boob job, back in the '90's. I used to have this 'thing' (fetish?) for girls with short hair. LOL Thanks Layla for all the sperm! :D
