I agree but I'll also add that the jizz biz is also ruled by the absolute stupid.

Again I agree but add that there's always going to be some "new big thing." It's like we're chickens with our heads cut off running back and forth from one supposed innovation to another. Each time we embrace something different the clowns also adapt and start giving it away again.

Something else I see coming: The model sets HER prices for access and members will pay for the level of access they get into her site/life/settings.
The technology is becoming more immersive, compact and compelling each day.

I know a few girls who were on model centro and they gave up trying to make a buck from it. This geocities approach of providing a platform always has a certain amount of success based purely upon the numbers of people that a certain fantasy about sex and easy money. In the end most don't last more than a handful of months.
While the smart girls figure out real fast that they don't need a site or have to work 1/5 as hard in order to rinse punters for big bucks.
But that's another debate. With regards to VR the problem is that there are 2 types of VR. The first is very flat and is basically no more than a television mounted in a pair of glasses. The second is fully interactive and that's going to be hell for the average webcam girl to produce. The webcam girl will need multiple cameras, a dedicated work area and a shitload of bandwidth. Compared to today all she needs is a laptop, cheap webcam and Internet access.
Interactive VR is a bitch to create even for a fully equipped production house. You have to anticipate and film every possible angle and every possible decision/action the viewer is going to make. VR will work great in video games and probably great if the models are completely computer generated existing only in virtual But from a producer's point of view I have to film hours of footage for finished product of minutes.
Regardless of how good the technology might get I don't even want to consider the cost for producing a fully interactive VR porn.
