and of course everyone would like to be the only one and tell later how easy it was when there was no competition.
You really are clueless. Do some research and find out what the owners of those few magazines, sex shops earned.

There is no denying that today the porn industry supplies more porn than ever before. The difference is the money made. Magazines paid 10 times more than paysites could, online content stores sold 10 times more than paysites would pay. DVD companies paid 10 times more that paysites could.

Tubes can't afford to pay for content without a paysite model. They can't afford to pay a $5 a gig BW, while paysites could and did. The Hun could post a gallery and the BW bill was the difference between making a profit and making a loss, while some sites could afford to buy spots.

It doesn't matter how many people are watching porn, all that matters is how many buy porn.
