I see people who DIDN'T make good money in the industry before piracy went into full effect (the 1990's to 2007) all saying how "easy" it was and how now that it's "evolved" that it just takes better marketing skills.
Really?
If it was so easy...then why didn't ANY of you make any real money during that time? Why was it only a few of us who did? After all it apparently required no skill or intelligence at all right?
And no Porn Nerd. Porn and bottled water are NOT the same thing.
There is no "bottled" porn that is not able to be gotten for FREE.
If someone started giving away bottled water to anybody who wanted it for FREE...you would quickly see the people who sell bottled water go out of business.
Some of you are ridiculous with your theories on how things work. OP, let me know when you actually DO something in this industry to have any knowledge. Until then...good luck with your theories.
Go ahead, create something yourself. Put your big boy pants on and take the financial and legal risks to actually shoot some porn.
Then watch as it gets stolen and given away for free to millions of people who will now never buy your product.
Then when you have a real track record in this industry. Come back and tell me all about it.
Saying that you sold stuff in mainstream so it will work the same in porn is fucking ridiculous.
A good furniture salesman might suck at being a car salesman and vice-versa. To think that you figured out how to make a dollar in one area and you're suddenly an expert in another is a nice idea.
Good luck with it.

This is a good response.
A more accurate way to say what the OP stated in his title is that there is "Less" money in porn these days ... but it's a lot less.
It's also not a coincidence that big players are pushing dating/cams now. Why would they be able to convert them and not porn? If they have the ability to convert one, then surely they could convert the other; but they don't.
The bottled water analogy isn't accurate either. Like many said, if bottled water was free at the store next door then people would choose that store. If BangBus was free at a tube site or paid at the membership site then people would choose the tube.
I see lots of talk on gfy about dating/cams and not much anymore on porn.
Let's not kid ourselves and start posting videos of Alex Baldwin's Glengarry Glen Ross movie speech and pretend that it's just laziness on everyone's part.
