- anovikov 3y agoAh the studios, they are largely irrelevant. They are not where the money is, at all.

- GauntletWizard 3y ago"Studios" don't have a monopoly on porn created through rape and coercion. "Independent" video producers often are aspirational, making nearly nothing for a very large mental toll. Many of them are forced into it by their "lovers", and/or do it to fund a drug habit. I would hardly call myself a heavy consumer of pornography but I've seen an awful lot of almost-hidden needle marks and crackpipes carelessly in the background. And that's not even to comment on the fact that many/most OnlyFans and similar "boutique" sites are operating under a similar model to this scam. There's often a real face who provides the "Content" as a lure, but the premium "Chatting" services are run by call-centers.
- anovikov 3y agoMy point was that content doesn't really matter that much. It is the job of getting quality traffic and monetising it the fullest where the money is. Content providers like studios, are just suppliers for them. When people say "porn business" they don't mean "those who actually film people fucking" because this is just tip of the iceberg and not where the money is made. Of course chatting on webcams is always run by separate people, it is the case even with individual models i know. They just don't have time for this. It's a natural division of labor. I built engines for several webcam sites and there is always that thing.
