Is porn actually the product anymore?
Porn has become so commoditised that studios announce new releases several times per week on Twitter. The release hits pay sites or streaming sites, then hits the torrent sites and tubes, then is forgotten quickly and just becomes one more of millions of videos you can watch for free.
The lifecycle of a release is very short, people usually won't remember a release from months ago, nuanced consumers of porn will follow certain models or studios or be paysite members for specific content but most consumers of porn aren't like that.
This is all measurable, search interest in a release declines rapidly from the 10 day out mark of that release unless it's something outstanding, then it might have a couple of months of traction.
Going back to my initial question, is porn the product anymore? Personally I think the eyeballs are the product and the porn is just there to attract eyeballs so you can sell them other things like cams, dating and what ever else you can get people to pull their wallet out for.
