I know it's not. No assessment is accurate because so much not reported.
But also, what is an industry worth? If you add in money from a traffic buy, should that be considered?
The number should reflect how many people pay for something outside the industry, not within the industry. And what is the industry? Tittie bars inside the industry?
Online adult sales, magazines, dvds, adult stores, DILDO'S
is what I would be referring to and I have a very hard time believing that those sales (everything lumped together) is higher then 2 billion. I don't see how it can be higher then 1 billion really.
Manwin claimed to make 100 million per year. Fabian said they represent 5% of the industry give or take. That puts the 2 billion per year figure. But most of that money is from other people buying ads, not the end consumer paying for memberships, chat, dating, etc.
Now you consider who buys these ads, are they making money? You can't just give money from person A, to person B, then say that money adds to the value of an industry.
It's all just guessing though... but I think most would agree the value is shrinking.
