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.

- A model now makes 400 euro for a shoot and several hundreds or thousands a month on chaturbate saying she is a pornstar. She/He/Trans has much more options now to make money.
- When people where able to buy porn by Ideal bank (cost 0,30 cents per transaction) instead of telephone (20 - 50% of the transaction) i saw my income more than tripled in a year.
- A magazine made money cause of porn images, classifieds ads, sex stories, advertisement. Look what Adult Friendfinder makes, Backpage made, traffic companies make reddit makes... worldwide! etcetra. Only adultfriendfinder isn't interested in porn pictures or the advertiser must put them up (user generated content). I read a book about the history of porn in Holland, must ended up with no money at all due to circumstances (like the internet/ drugs/ bad investments/ living too large). I had a free classifieds porn site already 15 years ago, why buy a magazine with ads that are 4 weeks old and a reply takes also days/weeks. On my free sextories site i put even Paul Markhams pictures at the stories
So in a way, you fucked the magazines also, just like the tubes ;)
- Magazines even made money putting in fake ads so people could sent a letter to the magazine and they would sent it to the author for 10 guilder ;)
- Recently Beat Uhse and Scala are taken over by EDC Internet (Dutch company) who started 15 years ago in an attic. He looked outside Europe and selling worldwide. And making more than regional sexshops with a market reach of maybe 50 - 200.000 people in medium large cities.
Magazines are history. If i tinder for free i see more porn than i could find in 1 magazine. And real amateurs
