You want to teach others but only to be better amatuers. Where is the real ambition to do something really creative imaginative and erotic ?
Magazines as I said before had high profits....did they develop cutting edge artistic photography ? No it was tecnically ok for the print process but as photography it was dull.
I think it is quite interesting what will happen in this industry, as cameras and post prodution is getting better and better, and the internet has made the erotic de facto legal, will it evolve into a real erotic art form moving into the mainsteam of culture....
In spite of all the moaning about sales, erotic material is an area where people are prepared to get their CC out. Try selling a polical documentary on the net !

The difference isn't minimal and nothing to do about numbers or clunks.
The idea that bad shooters can
do something really creative imaginative and erotic is also faulty. They need to learn to shoot good porn first.
To
do something really creative imaginative and erotic takes money, skill experience and a budget. Otherwise everyone else will go down the same road and make the creating it pointless. BangBus got a huge head start because they were out there on their own Today there would be 100 imitators duplicating what they do.
There are 2 sites, to my knowledge who did or still do something different. Perfect Gonzo and Party Hardcore. Not limited budget content. Perfect Gonzo was shot by a very skilled guy and to duplicate it no one was prepared to pay the price it took. Party Hardcore spend a lot of money to set up a shoot. No one else, to my knowledge is prepared to spend that money.
I can come up with ideas that are a little different, maybe even something really creative imaginative and erotic. the problem is they will cost money to shoot, need good shooters and good models. Without the first they won't get off the ground, without the second and third if they didn't have them they wouldn't sell.
Having an idea is the easy part, executing it and getting it right for porn is a lot harder than having the right equipment. Buying equipment today is easy. Using it is easy, so why do people get it wrong?
Lack of skill and that can't be bought cheap. There are people with the skill working in porn or use to. They want more than the Internet is prepared to pay.
Now the debate could be,
is it profitable to produce it for the Internet only or even in 2011?
And I've never really described myself as a photographer or video-grapher. Just a guy who uses cameras in the course of his job. Pornography.
