So I do not care to get into the debate. Lets just say, blacked and x-art shoot better models and make them look better. Most people dont even see this, its sad. The fact you ask, shows me that its not as clear to you. Its clear to some and theyre raking it in. Its not clear to other companies because they are falling short. Sadly I cannot convince you that people do not have an eye. I can't show you what you cannot see. There are many people who are very good at their jobs who do see this and theyre the ones making money. I wont be surprised to see GFYers debate this. ;) I see new threads of producers posting HOT AMAZING new talent, i open and wonder if they posted the wrong pictures. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, correct. However when analyzing talent for the masses, there is a right and wrong. The people who get it right the vast majority of the time are the people good at their job

No one survives editing or shooting for the magazine market without knowing exactly what sells. So your approach is 100% wrong. Can I convince you that I know what sells the best?
It may not be what you can sell the best, many here swear blind their tiny little sites with crap content are making great sales. Some can't convert the best selling sites, which are clearly making money. Pre-online days a content producer had to spend $500 to $1,000s on a days work and not get paid for 6-12 months. Editors were putting together magazines 3-4 months in advance. There was no room for try it and see.
Video production, was, even more, money and a longer return.
Agree about what people here call hot talent. They need to get out of their basements more often and see more girls.
There are people who do know what sells, they have to. Market surveys are to sharpen that knowledge. The problem is ROI or just paying for talent to model and produce.
Today recorded porn is dwindling. In 1995 99% of the people buying porn bought it because they wanted to jerk off to it. Tubes have taken that 99%, added some of the remaining 1% and killing the ROI on producing anything but live porn. And even some of that's in trouble. Because of free cams and independent girls.
