Not sure if you've noticed but this industry is cannibalizing itself.
You can tell how bad it is because the bread and butter (content) market is fucked. How many producers have you seen go broke and making borderline begging threads for people to buy their content? Offering their entire collection for prices like 199
With money/opportunities tight, people are only looking out for themselves also. Stuff they would be against back in the day seem not so bad now. Stuff like working with a shady processor may even be okay as long as they don't screw you over personally in some cases  |
There were some greener pastures when I was starting my business. I'm sure a regular job in my field at that time would have been easier than building a business and using my every waking moment to work on my business and spend a LITTLE time with my children in between when I could during the day. Yes there were greener pastures, but no where near as green the pasture I planted, , watered, weeded, fertilized and continue to grow.
Had I quit and went to what I THOUGHT were green pastures then, I'd never know how green the pastures could have been and would have been had I not quit.
I have not noticed the industry cannibalizing because I own a phone sex company and it's a little different. We are kind of off in our own little bubble so when something affects porn in general, it really doesn't affect what we do.
I think the point was however that these "has beens" are a great wealth of knowledge and still very respected.
