According to NPR, the big trend in recent years is a steep drop in profit for porn. The supply is enormous and people don't seem to care much about production quality. People may shell out for physical contact, but they expect porn to be free.
- jiggy2011 14y agoBased on what I have seen , the money seems to be in webcams. The free porn is used as a lure to get people to click on livejasmin popups.
- InclinedPlane 14y agoThis may be a red herring though. The traditional porn producers may be hurting but what about the total revenue of the entire porn spectrum? I suspect that it's not that the industry is dying but more that it's changing into different forms.
- tsotha 14y agoSomehow you have to monetize your product. If you can't sell your videos you have to sell advertising, and porn producers aren't going to get the same rates as other industries because so many companies don't want their brands associated with porn. Maybe jiggy2011 is right, but I'd have to see some numbers before I accept it. As I said, people are used to getting porn for free - how many will be willing to pay for cams?
