- Online today has far better producers than offline ever had - maybe aside from real cinematic movies like French Satisfaction
But 99% of the old offline porn that you seem to consider the glory times of this industry is crap from todays point of view.
Offline isn't dead. It's a lot smaller but still there. They weren't interested in selling to online porn for the money online was offering. Offering 10% of the money online was paying was of no interest. Who in online porn will pay $3,000 for a year's licence for an image set? If they had offered more than offline was worth they would have sold. They're businessmen who sell to the highest payer. The online market was way to fragmented for any site to afford that.

Offline had far better producers than online had because they paid more. Or are you saying online producers were better and took less money for their work?

The glory days were the time when online and offline were both strong. So around 2000 to 2004.

You are now talking from a point of ignorance. It'snot funny.
