I like you just fine Mr. Peabody...but if you really think that all your peers are that stupid, I don't know what to say to that.
Generalizations like that just don't hold a lot of water to me.
And usually folks who make that "Everybody in adult is stupid" comment usually leave the unspoken "EXCEPT ME" part out.
Newsflash: There are a LOT of guys in this business who can run circles around you with half their brains tied behind their backs. I never underestimate people.

Robbie, I was not really talking about people you describe: actual businessmen (and women) who, I agree totally, can do what you say and are brighter than most. I aspire to be one of those one day but more on that in a second. I was actually referring to most of the fucktards who clutter up this business with their unethical ways, their personal carelessness, etc. Adult is often a last stop for such desperate scammers. I did NOT mean the kind of person who attends XBiz.
(It's an old expression, "This business is filled with people.....etc." I remember it from my music biz days. LOL)
There are many, many levels in today's porn world. The entry to online porn is next to nothing, which is how I was able to get started. But you have everything today from one-man shows to major worldwide companies. I'm more familiar with the "little guy" who barely knows how to turn on a computer, like me. Sorry if I offended.
Intelligence and business acumen aside, solutions to the issues discussed here on GFY seem few and far between. What are the best minds in this business actually DOING to change the current climate? I'd like to know so i can support them.
