A bit like when women say 'without us there'd be no babies'... strictly accurate, but fails to take into account everything else that comes into play 
Literally every person on earth of legal age can shoot porn that people want to see, and will watch, but not many people have traffic, infrastructure, billing, marketing finesse/ideas, and so on. I do enjoy your posts, so I'm not looking to get into any kind of pissing match with you, but tbh I roll my eyes a bit when the 'artists' start moaning about the philistines 
Anyway back to the subject at hand - everyone in the garden obviously has no need to share the same opinion, but at the same time if one person makes a dick move, then the way it's expressed is neither here nor there - it's still a dick move (and doesn't even make logical sense - that's just lazy 'journalism'). |
Trust me I don't judge the biz from what I see on GFY. To be honest I took a good hard look at the industry back in the late 90s and decided it was time to go underground. It was becoming an industry filled with disrespectful fanboys trying to make a buck without becoming directly involved and things have only gotten worse. It's become the norm that people that there people making money that have absolutely nothing to do with the manufacture of the smut and seldom even shake the hands with someone that does.
Needless to say that I'm still keeping my head down, minding my own business and only occasionally surfacing when I need to do a deal with someone. - I'm not interested in the politics or fighting with anyone.
As for being an artist,
I get what you're saying and mostly agree with you but I personally am NOT an artist. Now I love the arts and even financially support them but what I manufacture isn't art. When it comes to making smut the only question I ask myself is "will this shit make money?"
