I wonder how these two can be compared. Adult entertainment often resides in the dark economy.
- yurishimo 3y agoThis got me curious. Currently the global market cap for video games is somewhere around $188B. From a cursory Google search, the revenue from alcohol sales worldwide is 10x that of video games. Seems like a crazy gap for adult entertainment!
- Loveaway 3y agoIt's an estimate. You can come up with different values, but I think no one would really argue porn is that huge of a slice of the pie. Clean money is also a lot more valueable than dark money. Generative porn will be a big thing, but won't magically lead to more money flowing into the industry. If anything, less. What's gonna happen is, synthetic porn will replace real porn over time, that's pretty much it. All things considered, biggest beneficiary gotta be the women currently working in the industry, no doubt.
