The adult industry is significantly worse about protecting their ecosystem. When I was working on my upcoming book, I interviewed a dozen people who have worked in adult and mainstream and without exception they said adult shoots them self more frequently and for less reason than mainstream. You can compete ruthlessly and still make sure you have an arena to compete in. All those companies have dedicated teams to work with the other. I lived in Seattle for a decade, I know the ins and outs.
I mean look at those companies and think how seamlessly they do generally work together. I have Eero routers (Amazon) around my house, I control them seamlessly from my Samsung Android device and my girlfriends iPhone to watch netflix, both devices have Uber. Now think about what it takes as some who makes content to distribute and sell that content in this space, it is anything but seamless. We use elevatedX and NATS, the missed integration opportunities between them, billing, cams, dating and adnetworks is staggering. And that is money left on the table because of disorganization, dishonesty and overprotected fiefdoms. Business is business, but this industry is much worse at it and it costs us.
