This reads like a discussion form the 90's when the porn industry, and most media, were tightly controlled by small number of dominant players that set the norms (whether we liked it or not). I know a lot of people who have created porn in the 2010's and onward and none of them have any connection whatsoever to that porn industry of yesteryear. This feels like a strained attempt to stain the independent porn of today with the worst aspects of studio porn.
- loeg 1y agoNot advocating for the article/interview in any way, but: if anything, I think the porn industry is more consolidated today than it was in the 90s? MindGeek owns all of the brands.
- standardUser 1y agoI don't see how it matters what one company owns or doesn't. When dozens of studios ran everything, it didn't matter than there were dozens of them or just one since they all set similarly stifling requirements. What matters is autonomy and creative freedom, of which there is now dramatically more than ever before both in porn and across all media.
- pseudalopex 1y agoMindGeek are Aylo now. They own a large share of studio porn. But OnlyFans increased independent production.
- hdjjhhvvhga 1y agoThat was my first thought: any woman can easily get into any level of "production" now and get direct profit from it, and also leave it without much stigma, sharing the same platform with non-nude celebrities. She can also control the amount of experience that is delivered to the "fans". It's incomparable with the situation from the 80s/90s.
