But that is how exploitation works. The people who do not know their worth or can not do anything about it, works for much cheaper than they should while the producer and the owner of the material making all the profits. That applies to porn just as much as it does to shoes and furniture.

Cherry is a fool. his added value isn't anything of value, except in his head. Still spot on with the analogy of a worker getting less than a boss. Cherry has extreme socialists of even communists thinking, so he thinks we should all earn the same. That's how he justifies his low wage.

That is correct. Too many people can take photos.
However, amateur content is hot for a reason. They don't want "pros" taking photos. And there are more of them than there are pros. And it sells just as well.
There is a nut for every bolt.

Porn has rarely been about camera skills. The model is the equipment that has to be mastered. How do you get a girl who's not an actress to convince the audience she's not bored. Cherry will filll us in on that. he read the book.

This is the truth. But as much as that is bad for professionals, it is great for the amateur market.

Is this the amateur photographer or amateur model market?

I don't have the figures to back it up, but I'm not sure I'd agree with that. I think the money has just been redirected. Cams being one example. Lots of money there. There is still a LOT of money in the business, it's all just changed hands. Porn as you grew to know it has changed, that money is gone. Now it's somewhere new. And that is a hard pill to swallow.

As you don't have figures on what all the cam sites make, that's a guess.
Using logic, is it logical all those buying per-recorded porn moved over to web cams?

Free killed the porn business, well not yet but it gave it one very bad cold.

I think everyone knows the money didn't really come from wall street.

The only people it could of come from are venture capitalists. They don't gamble. Where ever it came from I expected some big news of where it had started to go. By now.

It depends on how they asked the question.
"Can you shoot Asian teens" is a loaded question.
How do you want me to shoot them? Solo or hardcore? How much video, how many pics? How many outfit changes? What kind of location? Do you want smoking hot girls or average looking amateurs? Do we need the best hair and make up or can the girl do it herself. ALL of these things can add a lot of money to the cost.
My answer would have been, show me an example of what you want it to look like, and I'll give you a price. And even then, I'd bet anything he would want the most expensive option and want to pay peanuts for it. That is 99% of the people who ask for content these days. Most companies/people these days don't want to spend much on content.

Most people
never spent much on the product. That's why the top shooters offline rarely shot for anyone online. They would of, if people would of paid them to. Even the "glam" sites were using people who could never compete with the Steve Hicks, Viv Thomas level of the offline porn world.
If you're on my end of the business, you would be amazed at the dick heads who walk up to you with the notion that we work for peanuts. Czech girls model for $50 a day, I shoot for $50 a day, etc. In fact people here on GFY find it amazing or even unbelievable that a guy who is basically a shooter of no outstanding talent if compared with the whole business, DVTimes to Suze Randall. Can actually make a decent living and retire with no financial worries without driving traffic, opening a paysite, shooting custom. That's why they jump on Damian and Squealers lies as if they are the truth.
Squealer is the clown. He actually visited our studio with all the scenes and equipment, saw the office with the office only staff, met the studio staff, saw I wasn't kissing his butt for business and he judges my success on the car I choose to drive models around in and our 3 bedroom detached house in the countryside. Didn't know diddly squat and thought 8 years ago I was broke. Yet people believe him today when clearly I wasn't going broke 8 years ago.
His stupidity clearly matched by others?
