Nah. They'll never get rid of it. Not when you have the San Fernando Valley, and Larry Flynt in da house. The genie's already been let out of the bottle, and it's not going away, especially as much money as it makes annually.

You will probably see a lot of the small fries vanish, but that's been happening since the late 90's, early 2000's. More people will either take their ball and go home, or step up to the plate.

I think what you WILL see is a lot of online/porn starting to merge. Much like the rest of Amercia where you have media companies merging, and partnering. I think if you do not have a network of site's built in the next year or so, you will be frozen out of the biz by the big boys (and girls) with their double barrel marketing, and promotion networks.

I think we've all seen the porn getting diluted. By that I mean, remember in the late 90's when they expanded ML Baseball, and they were talking about how all of the expansion hurt the game because they had more teams, but less quality player (especially pitchers). Well I think that's where we are now. You have a lot of porn peddlers, but the QUALITY has fallen off. So sure, you can find porn all over the place, but QUALITY porns something else.

Here's another quick example.. I was looking to replace a feed on one of my sites. I'd used a plugin HQ image gallery for 2-3 years, and all was fine and dandy til I started getting e-mail complaints about the feed. So I figured I would shop around. Well I looked at 3-4 dozen different companies, and you know what.. a lot of them had the SAME EXACT content, just different interfaces, and design layout. Worse than that, a lot of it was just video, and vidcaps. Some of the others offered very little, and were asking 3 times the price I had been paying.

So the net's a big place, and sure, room for a lot of players, but the quality is what's taking the hit. You do not see the Matrix, Lightspeed, and number of other HQ providers as predominantly as you see a lot of reruns, and crap. Or I should say, they stand out like kings by comparison.
