Wrong. Scarcity was never a problem. Producers of content had to fight hard to get publishers to buy.

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.

That's music to my ears. For some obscure reason the saying "Non exclusive is saturated" was meant to be bad. To a producer selling his wares it was music to his ears. I wanted to get my content on as many sites as I possibly could. And did. For the producer it was a bad thing to have content that wasn't saturated.

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.

Fine then pay us enough to shoot it.
Who remembers Perfect Gonzo in their heyday?
When they were going strong everyone was asking if we or other shooters could produce the style. The answer was yes we can, the problem was the cost. Even PG couldn't replace their shooter after he left to go to, I was told, Evil Angel.
For producers it comes down to $$$$$. Just like with site owners.

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.

OK I should of said GOOD porn. As for good money. Not what I would call good money. The prices paid today are not that good.

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.

The customers haven't changed their needs for good porn. The publishers have changed their definition of good porn.
And I'm not being personal, just pointing out the other sides view point.
Saturation of content = $$$$$ For the producer/seller.
Custom content = $$$ For the producer/seller.
It's all about $$$$
