Going back 18- years it was only webmasters building sites. They had no clue how to find content and were will to pay a lot of money for it. Not enough to support content producers who wanted to create good porn, but anything from $3 to $10 per image. The system was to put up content and throw traffic at it because people would buy whatever was offered.

The problem was the thinking of these early site owners. They knew anything would sell, few were making enough to fund decent production and many were stealing content because of their culture.

Fast forward a few years and good sites were emerging. The problem again was few were able to fund decent content production. Digital cameras were expensive, video cameras even more so. We were spending more for a lens than many of today's cameras cost. Most sites were making too little to attract good porn producers. So they bought in whatever they could afford.

And that was rarely enough.
