If tubes didn’t decimate the industry causing 90% of the affiliates to leave, there would still be 2 very distinct sides to porn. When the affiliates left, the thieves took over (tubes) and the remora of tubes (cam sites). When tubes became the main method of distribution, both sides of the industry became melded, ‘not necessarily’ by choice, and the magazines/publications , the grifters that they are, pushed it out of necessity, astroturfed it is 1 industry. Possibly now it is, sort of, but it’s a joke of its former self compared to the mid 2000’s when company reps and affiliates outnumbered the eye candy—let’s face it, overall webmasters / reps / ceo’s in this industry aren't the most photogenic, but I’m no “Thor the log chopper” myself.
Shows are dead. If there were as many people in the industry now as back then, as slovenly as they were, there would be more bifurcation today. The publications would all go broke if they weren’t forced to maintain the semblance of cohesion.
In the end, everyone has a right to work here, and earn a living and that’s that. I would just prefer if there was an entry page to the publications that had categories before diving in. That’s my only issue which I think is reasonable if not a bit “old fashioned.”
