Bullshit.

Ed Powers, Buttman, Diabolic Video, New Sensations, Shane's World, Evil Angel, Elegant Angel, Rocco, Ben Dover, Anabolic, Private, Homegrown Video, Beate Uhse AG, Caballero Home Video, Score, Scala, Color Climax, Jules Jordan Video,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...aphy_companies were all available on the same shelves as what you call "Porn Valley". The consumer chose the titles he wanted and wasn't forced to buy anything. It was less about marketing and more about quality. The Internet was obsessed with "Marketing" which meant giving away free porn, offline was obsessed with getting repeat sales, selling a brand for years not months. Online the average member stayed a few months.

The reason for the decline of the more produced movies was the budgets required to make it possible. The internet offered 50+ movies for the same price offline charged for 5, plus free porn. Plus a computer was easier for watching porn thana DVD.

We strangled the Golden Goose, well done.
