I work full time in adult as a content producer. personally I don't see much of a future in content production if the last 4 years are any indication of the future of content production.

my production cost have risen 80%-100%+ while webmasters/programs 'for the most part' expect, and do pay the prices they paid in 2001.

should be interesting to see how it goes. since shooting content isn't as profitable as it was, the goods shooters are leaving the biz, OR spending less energy in production, so more and more 'walmart' porn is being produced.

I see lots of 'walmart' porn posted here at GFY. a guy goes into 'walmart', buys a video/stills camera and bingo! a top content house is created. the reality is that is so easy to get in to production these days people with no real interest in the 'art' of production as flooding the market.

what I'm seeing is really, really poor composition, poor set design, bad lighting, incorrect white balance, horrible audio, and even worse post production. it's kinda weird actually to see 'content' on tours that I would have tossed in the delete file if I'd been unfortunate enough to have created it. I'm also seeing very, very, very poor interaction with the models.

if a program owner doesn't give a shit about their content how can they expect a surfer to give a shit? if the operating concept is "I'll buy the cheapest content I can find" can you blame the surfer for having the same thoughts? the thing is the surfer thinking is more like this: "I'll just watch free porn, why pay for this crap?"

and the funniest thing is this: programs can't understand why joins are down.
