this busines is not all that lucrative. how much is bezos worth compared to the ceo of the top adult sites? lack of an ipo market for online adult companies is a major reason for the difference, but it just shows how this industry is not very lucrative at all.

every industry has to deal with competition, but to say people shouldn't complain about the insane amount of competition in online porn is just plain stupid. the percentage increase in new entrants is most likely outpacing the growth rate for the industry. i think this industry, especially english language adult sites is coming close to the maturity stage, may actually be in it now, and thats not very good for profits. i believe there are certain segments in this business that will have a higher growth rate and thats where the better margins will be, but as the profits start to roll in, more and more people will run after those profits and it will drop margins.
