It required a considerable amount of technical skill to produce pictures for magazines back in the days of film, had to be shot on colour reversal slide material, with little tolerance for poor exposure. |
The print industry accepted digital from about 2002. They preferred slides, but would take Digital. From 2005 it all went digital.
Getting the exposure right was a little harder on film than digital, which was why we used light meters. The most important thing with light was reflected light, if the light bounced back into the lens it made the pictures look diffused and wouldn't print properly.
The main reason that few came into this market was bad business or unable. Unable to get the framing, poses and the looks right.

It's not just the sofa, it's the room it's in.
Who cares? The people at the shops.

And your comparison with Paul Raymond Publications, LFP, Goldstar, Swank, Crescent, Score, David Sullivan's porn company, Northern & Shell, Private, Penthouse, Playboy, Vivid, Wicked, Evil Angel is rather funny... I would say only 2 of those are close to our size: LFP and Playboy. Every other one is BY FAR smaller than us. Both employee and revenue wise.

You wouldn't of bought those companies for $110 million 15 years ago. Which was what I said. As for what Adult.com and the rest of Lensman empire was sold for. Well that's a reflection.
I have no doubt Manwin is the biggest now. But never the biggest ever. And the Adult Internet isn't making anything like the money the other avenues of porn made. I doubt if you know who some of those companies are, so how can you tell?
Go search the Internet first. And do some calculations. Remember offline porn would of sold more than online porn because it was more stable. As everyone says, the Internet moves fast and can change in a matter of months. People don't pay for future earnings with online business like they do offline business. It's to hazardous.

They have grown, just not enough to take up the loss from CCBILL.
Also I missed some of the other big European porn houses.
Brazzers traffic has dropped from 0.25% to 0.15% in 2 y3ears. Not a good indication.
And neither is the growth in Tube traffic.
Remember what I said in a few years time. Ignore it today at your peril.
