Yes this is where the lower conversion ratio it comes from... not from a cartel of programs who all agreed to shave. I would bet there was bigger shaving in the past years when there was bigger money to shave from - also biggest worth to collapse an iBill or Epassporte before that money flow decreases. In fact the biggest shaving and risk it was when it was worth for the bigger fraud gangsters to be in the online adult biz! With today's smaller numbers whoever kept in online adult biz (or just entered it) it can't be so greedy, most do it just as an excuse to see pussy

Most persons in this industry shrug off the growing roar of government officials against porn. We will have to face it inevitably and should at least prepare accordingly and collectively.

The persons in this industry does not act as if anti-porn government(s) are unimportant or not a problem (does not "shrug off", if I understand the meaning). Simply no one of them have even 1% of the money that tobacco people can use to lobby. So it was said by researchers: in the 21st century tobacco will kill 1 billion people worldwide... this requires quite a lobbying to fix... eventually less people will die due to porn for sure. But the global tobacco industry it is more than $600 billion per year, some $50 to $100 billion per major company per year, of which several billion it is pure profit, income!
Now how it compares with a manwin, playboy, hustler, adultfriendfinder, myfreecams, streamate , imlive or whoever you can call as big program? You convert the billion of tobacco in million of porn, and maybe you get the right numbers of online porn: 600 million per year, 50 to 100 million per major company a year... still this is 1000 times smaller money of tobacco (or oil, etc.) so it can lobby 1000 times less. Which is what we got, it is just the money, not the skills or wishes.
