Paul it was a closed shop for all intents and purposes - there is limited shelf space for magazines, plus the cost barrier for anybody wanted to start up a new adult magazine. Unlike the Internet, which has infinite 'shelf space' and a much much lower cost barrier to get started. There were/are only so many photographers who could make magazine shooting their primary business. Yes I'm sure the magazines want those fresh never seen before faces but as I said a photographer in Portland,Oregon or Omaha,Nebraska might find 2 girls a year who BarelyLegal would buy. Not worth his time to worry about selling to magazines when he can make a decent living shooting all kinds of girls for Internet paysites.

Lower standards? For models? For photography? That's subjective, I know from your point of view it's lower standards. It's DIFFERENT standards. 'Readers Wives' style as you call it was immensely more popular on the Internet than glossy pro photography. As for models being lower standard - in terms of pure beauty/cuteness, yes - what made sites like Abby Winters and ATK so popular is that they offered porn consumers girls who look just like the girl who lives down the block, the girl in their classes at college, who serves them at Starbucks etc - you don't get those girls in BarelyLegal magazine - what you get in BarelyLegal are perfectly cute 18-24 year olds in pigtails dressed and styled to look 14 years old. That appeals to some men but there are millions who prefer the more unique more real and attainable, in their minds, girls.

Porn surfers have an almost unlimited choice of niches, models, fetishes, photography styles - your definition of quality is pretty narrow when it comes to content.

I think this Mofos solo site is mediocre, Brazzers does great vignette story hardcore movies - waste of time this site. She's A Freak is Bangbros/RK territory - they know how to shoot that.
