There's a major lack of creativity & forward thinking, so many of the pros - in whatever aspect of the business - have already jumped ship.

Speaking from a programmer stand point a lot of us have left the industry due to over worked and under paid... Most adult webmasters seeking programmers are cheap, and flaky on payments.. So we have options, take a VERY good cushy job working in mainstream bringing innovative ideas to life, orrrrrr spend most of our time chasing around enough clients to make money to pay our bills for the month.

The average programmer should be making upwards to $100,000/yr so that comes out to about $50/hr IF we get 40 hours a week in, but being a programmer in this industry isn't really a full time job, so lets say we average 20 hours a week, that's $100/hr to be able to make what we're worth, now how many of you actually have paid a programmer $100/hr for their services? Everyone in this industry wants to rebuild Facebook or Twitter and they want it done in 30 days without going over a $1,000 budget... Good luck getting a programmer who can do that... Oh you did? And he flaked out on you because he was some 3rd world programmer? Gee golly! Whodathunk?
