Today you're dead right, if the girl can speak English and able to market herself. Back in the day cam models earned less than magazine models and we regularly picked up girls who had tried webcam and didn't make money. How many webcam girls make $1,000 a week working on cams?
- 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 ;)

You can't compare the magazine market back in the day without including all the world and all the magazines sold in shops.

- 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.

Do you know what Beate Uhse was making from Germany alone with a share of the German porn shop market? Now multiply that by the rest of the world and every porn outlets, soft porn as well, to get a figure.

I know, the argument is whether it make more money from giving it away for free because you can sell ad space or selling it. There s no argument more money could and was made when we sold porn. Otherwise Tubes could afford to commission their own content to be created. Which they clearly can't because the advertising won't pay for it.
They couldn't afford the BW at a raised price, can't afford to pay for their own content, because they don't make enough money.
20 scenes a day on Pornhub = $2,000,000 a year for content alone and that's not for good content. I only allowed $3,000 per scene. How much do they make from advertising? How much traffic do they need to pay for content?
And would we as an industry be better off if porn tubes disappeared. Not that they will and we have to live with the cards we are dealt, but don't try to argue we can make more money giving it away for free than selling.
