I have seen a lot go back and forth about how people are treated in this industry and how the industry looks to outsides.
Now I would like to give you my point of view, since I am an outsider looking in.
I believe the adult industry can teach a lot to corprate america about how to successfully integrate and impliment new technologies. The adult industry has been the catalist for the majority of the technologies that are driving this digital age. The adult industry always uses new and marketing techniques and adapts more quickly to the tech markets in general.
To be honest I spend time on the boards so I can see where the mainstream market will be a few months from now.
That being said, I think that the industry is over looked because of the light the industry like to shine on itself. There is not a week that goes by where there isn't something on the board that is posted about someone stealing someones' webdesign, someone getting called out for not paying bills on time, some new affilate program or credit card processor who is shaving, or some new scandal in general. The biggest problem is that the people in this industry are doing to eachother, and to their partners. There are simply too many fly by nights who come in and scourch the industry for the sake of making a dollar. They don't give a shit about the business, and so the industry suffers.
The simple fact of the matter is that if the adult industry wants to start being looked at for the immense value that it can bring to the digital media, and online market place, and not potrayed as a side show the industry is going to have to clean up its act. Everyone knows the outside world is looking hard at the industry anyway, so it almost has to be run more ethically, if it ever wants to be taken seriously.
My suggestion, stop giving attention to the webmasters who propetuate (god i can't spell) the negative sterotype, and give attention to the webmasters, who help make advances.
To put it bluntly, clean up the bullshit, and the world will start listening and paying attention to the ideas.
Just my 1/50th of a dollar not sure it means much
