Porn will continue to be a viable Industry for years to come but the shakeup and shakeout will mean fewer "players". The problem, long term, is the shrinking customer base. Guys in their 40's+ still buy porn for various reasons (convenience, they have the income, they know what they like after a lifetime of experimenting, they like ownership, etc etc). But in 10 years or so the "younger generation" will be middle-aged, and the 20's-30's out there, who will then be in their 30's-40's, will buy less and less because they were weaned on free porn their whole lives.
Of course, by then most of us will have retired, died, been arrested, all three....LOL |
Yes a few will make a living for many years. But as you point out the older generation will cease to buy and won't be replaced by the younger one. And companies like Brazzers will swallow up many of the other main stream ones.
The problem isn't piracy, it's been with us since video, though in those days it was rarely free. As Madalton pointed out they were selling pirated videos. So someone was buying. The route problem is the cost to have massive Tube sites with 100s to 1,000 of full length videos. And even if piracy does go away they will still be here.
