Is 100K a year reasonable? Yes. $200,000+ a year? Only for a select few. Most can probably earn 40-50k a year, which is a decent living in most places not named New York or San Francisco. LOL

this is abosluteley correct - nobody said that all amateurs are making millions.
there are also smart and dumb ones.
but the point is, that there are many of them and even the dumb ones take a part of the cake. adding all dumb and smart ones together you will end up on a much bigger cake shared by much more people.
so the topic here is:
"did the porn INDUSTRY growing or shrinking over the past 5 years" it is definately a growing
if the question would be "did individuals IN this industry see a grow or a shrink" the answer would be - yes, a lot are shrinking and some are growing a lot.
if you just take the good old pareto principe of 20/80 and you have only 1000 competitors than you would have 200 winners and 800 losers.
if you have 50.000 in the same game you would have 40.000 losers that are believing that the business is dead and 10.000 winners that will not talk about it.
but if you count the second number together you will end up at a much much bigger cake and THIS is called THE INDUSTRY.
paulīs correct question should be:
did MY WAY shrink or grow over the past 5 years the answer would be definately: IT IS DEAD !
but i donīt know why he thinks that his way is THE INDUSTRY.
