By the time I have the money, that great idea may be outdated or made by someone else. Big companies have the chance to change in days or weeks and make things happen. However, most of them (in adult and non-adult, this is a very common problem) are bound to inertia and very unwilling to change.

Then again, if they could only open their eyes, they could still be the head of the pack rather than dying.

But yes, you're right here, GENERIC/MAINSTREAM/DEPERSONALIZED porn is doomed
Problem is those big companies are inert just as you say.

I can identify a problem and/or a solution and have it up and running in an hour. For those bigger companies where the owner himself isn't up to par and has no skill set...he may NEVER identify a problem or a solution at all. And IF he does, then he puts his "team" to work on it. And maybe a month later they finally get something done.

Meanwhile, guys like me have already moved on to a thousand other things.

A few years back we were like those big companies. Had a big office. 10 different employees each working on their own "department". And everytime I wanted to move quickly on something I had to consult with my two partners and convince them of the reasoning.

That alone could take a week.

I'm so glad to be small and fast now. It's what is keeping me above water in this age of piracy + bad economy.

I hope to NEVER have another partner. And now I only keep two employees and they answer directly to me and do exactly what I tell them when I tell them to do it. All the decisions are mine and mine alone.
