This is true, valid points for all actually on here.
We interface and work with so many models on the content side on a daily basis, and see/hear of their numbers so it's interesting about the perception out there even from an industry view. 90% of girls are hustling ancillary revenue outside of production shoots. The next rush is happening now and it's evident who has the new money…consumer engagement is important now regardless of content. Why OF, AVN Stars etc are on the rise.
Think about this...it took this industry and the delivery model over 20 years to evolve, now it's evolving and changing almost every few years. - that pretty amazing to see, this is a reality.
It's the same with many mainstream industries as well, the world and revenue models are all influenced by the evolution of technology. If you haven’t cut the cord on cable, you will soon but in the meantime, there are plenty of customers around for those companies. Licensed/Ad sponsored TV is the same way…there is so much free content out there to consume that is ad-sponsored you couldn’t run out of stuff to watch, people just syndicate it differently to make revenue.
Music? Artist work harder for less, but they work…and example of this is some award-winning artists get paid $0.005 per stream 10gs a year (sux), they still put out content and make $ via other means….some bank, most indy artists don’t. Spotify banks though from its subs and ads
There are a ton of pessimistic views on where we are at and that's natural. Content is still valuable, it still sells, just sells differently….knowing your customer, knowing your niche…it still works - again it works differently.
