That, and you're a producer, so you see porn films very differently than some guy jerking off to his computer.

Maybe you can make good coin without the highest quality porn that can be shot. Who would have thought...
That's what I don't get.

A few posts above he goes on about his vast business experience but he doesn't seem to grasp the fact that the most important factor in running a business is that you turn a profit. You don't need the very best content paid for at the highest price to be profitable. You can buy or create some average content and still turn a profit.

You can buy cheap content and spend a lot of money selling it but as long as you turn a profit you're successful. It's about what's in your budget and how you spread and spend it accordingly.

I've read through this entire thread and it's apparent to me that the root of his rantings is based on two things. The fact that two very unfortunate things happened that forced him into retirement which would be hard for anyone to face and deal with. The fact that in his prime his work commanded top dollar but has been significantly devalued today because of the internet.

Two things that completely changed his familiar and comfortable life. It's more than enough to make one bitter or bat shit crazy and I've found myself in the same position but under different circumstances. I liked reading this thread but now it's just painful to hear him go on and on not knowing where his place is. I hope he finds it. I'm still looking for mine
