i've definitely spent time analyzing why i made money back then. one reason was scarcity - everything sold. the other could have been that your girls were recognized from magazines and guys wanted to see more pics and videos of them.
fast forward to today. people are still buying the bargain basement content i bought 7 years ago, but it sure isn't selling any porn. the buyers are nubes that have no clue that this content has recirculated around the net hundreds of times. lucky for Paul there's new nubes on the boards every week.
the point of old versus new content style is that surfers DO want to see the bangbus girls getting fucked - or whatever reality site is cool now. they don't care about lighting. porn today is about fantasy and speed of access. guys 18-40 want young sluts in situations they can relate to and they want to stream or download it before their cock softens. sure the old guys might reminisce on the old style stuff, but its not selling.
Paul started this thread saying he can't shoot anymore for 3 reasons. several other shooters debunked these points because they have adapted and are making good money in today's market.
its a never-ending fight between the dinosaurs of the business and the guys who have evolved. i've had the fight many times - without getting personal.
