Fast forward to today. The only change is the ratio who like what they have to pay for rather than stick with the free option.

And people who don't like me, want me to teach them how to sell more.
I understand the supply and demand part of it, and as well as the history of free porn, however my question is more geared towards the community itself. Why didn't porn come to an agreement early on, no more than 6 pictures per gallery, no more than 2 minutes for video? etc. I would think an industry on the verge of trouble would come together and work on a way to a solid long term revenue stream without eating each other alive.
