What cuts down on competition in insurance is heavy regulation. And with Obamacare, they accepted heavier regulation in exchange for compulsory policies for everyone.
The amount of viable sponsors in adult is lower all the time. The failure rate for new sites and startups has got to be around 99%, as is the % of abandoned or non maintained adult sites out there. Factor in acquisitions and personally I believe we really are seeing a smaller group of profitable adult companies that continues to shrink.
With heavy regulation on a federal level we might see even less. Hell, even with actual enforcement of existing regs like 2257 audits and FTC inquiries we might see a huge drop in the total # of US based sponsors.
Take away everyone who's flying under the radar or sitting offshore not giving a fuck or stealing content or no longer updating or owned by Manwin or focused on Dating and you might have a pretty small group left.
