to define if a biz is increasing or decreasing you always have to see the whole pot and not just one perspective.
when drones delivering the goods and replace a human delivery it does not mean that the biz itself is gone - it is just the delivery what is outdated.
imagine: if facebook would charge 5 dollar per month - how much users would they have? letīs assume they would have 0,01% it would be still a lot but not even a fraction fraction of the 60 billion they make with something that is completely free.
even a huge porn-membersite with 50.000 paying members a 10.-- US per month (and there are not many of this size or bigger) would not make more than 6 million in annual revenue. this is around 0.7% of what mindgeek alone makes.
if you see that mindgeek have less than 10% market share in the complete advertising and affiliate market in adult worldwide you see the the whole pot is damned big but still only 4 % of the complete online advertising market wich makes around 300 THOUSAND MILLION in annual revenue.
the times paul can remember have been the times when the complete adult industry had a total revenue of less than 1 billion worldwide.
