How do you sum up 2012 for the industry and what do your predict for 2013?
 

My sum up: Small webmasters keep leaving the business, tubes get legit, classic paysite business model is dying and there's nothing what can replace it.

Predictions: tougher copyright environment for pirates, less porn spendings, innovative adult business models to appear

I predict 2012 will end in a bit more than two months from now.

Sounds legit.

Adult websites start paying users to watch porn.

2013 will be the file share year.. wait and see... :thumbsup
that's for all those that thought tubes were bad.

2012 Small sites and affiliates closing or going part time, big sites selling or shrinking, big sponsors seeing the futures and selling out. One big sponsor hidden behind a wall.

2013 more of above. More legislation and ways to hit pirates will emerge, it will have little effect on the porn industry. A lot here will bitch because their man didn't get into the White House. Whoever does get in will make little difference, except who blames who for the decline in everything.

More mobile devices used for porn, Sites will come and go as they have done in the past, more social garbage websites and a diff way of file sharing

Business wise this year has been fine for me.

On a personal side though, this year has fucking sucked, and i will be glad to see the back of it...

i hope 2013 will be as good as 2012 - which was fantastic

Yeah you had all the floods, Hope its all sorted out now

Moved back home a few days ago. Still some small problems to get sorted out, but should be back to normal over the next couple of weeks or so. Dealing with insurance companies has been a nightmare.

Cheers! :thumbsup

Glad you are back in your own home at last :thumbsup

2012 = Mr Marcus scandal, Hustler buys Noof, Manwin buys most of everything else, Pimproll releases a few huge innovations with HostedTube, PaidPerView and TrafficForce... as a few smaller high quality programs like PuffyCash and PacinoCash release some marketable new sites, ManicaMedia brings big name studios like Anabolic online for the first time in a meaningful way.

2013 - Hard work pays off and whining leads only to more whining.
