Imagine all the porn customers in the US/UK having only 12 major companies to buy magazines from. Penthouse, Playboy, PRO, Galaxy, etc. The only way to compete is by customer loyalty, men buying the same mag year in and year out. To get that they had to pay the best price, something online failed miserably at.

Magazine shooters like Suze Randall, Viv Thomas, Steve Colby, Steve Hicks, etc without a huge budget. Similar happened with the video market. Do you think companies like Vivid, Private were spending $3,000 per scene?

What I've used is the production side of the industry to give you an idea of it's size. Now treble it to see the size of the retail end and Europe and the rest of the world. All online did wad combine the two retail and production to discover the vast wealth in porn. Then split it with 10,000+ sites selling porn and 10.000 giving it away for.

Now people see the high traffic numbers and believe few were buying porn before online gave it to them. Imagine 12 companies like Mindgeek in the business. Fabian Thylmann only put lots of companies together by giving away more than anybody else.

So when I see stupid people saying we failed, then think what must of happened to StefanG, Trainwreck content, etc. And the majority of paysites, affiliates and others desperate to keep secret what they do?
