More models are "doing it themselves" and people are not just paying anymore for visual porn. They pay to have a "connection" with the model, the feeling of exclusivity.

And if I may really go outside the box, I just saw a firm, virtualmate, who is actually creating a rendered model that will respond to you, both physically and emotionally. Learning who you are, what you like and dislike, ...

I think the porn industry is now rapidly evolving and the ones that evolve with it, will survive. I know virtually nothing yet about the porn industry, I'm new, so I could be wrong, but I have seen what happened in the photography business and I think there is a clear analogy with the porn industry. It happened with the coming of the internet and I think it will happen again in the coming years.
Niche has always meant a particular fetish or preference to the type of porn that turns the individual on.

Yes porn is evolving from people willing to pay to people never paying and getting the personal effect in is essential. Getting models to market themselves, get content shot of themselves, then giving them a platform they can use to publish their work on. The problem is can you pay them enough to elevate the content above a girl with a camera on a tripod or partner shooting her above the level of the 1,000s of others?

Look at MyDirtyHobby | Live Sex Chat, Cam Girls, Amateur Sex Community and look at the level of most of the content. Few are earning anything above a decent wage. Most are shooting themselves, with a GF or BF who rarely changes. The exceptions are rare and few progress beyond an "Amateur" level.

VR has failed despite all the claims made, just like 3D. Technology will not solve the problems of why should someone pay for something that's available for free and no different from 1,000s of others.
