Hustler Magazine Won?t Exist In Another Year or Two..
 
The bell tolls.... :(

Quote:

Larry Flynt says the end is near for Hustler magazine.

With circulation on the controversial skin-baring magazine dipping below 100,000 a month, Flynt acknowledged that it may be time for the print magazine to come to a conclusion, though he did intend on keeping the publication on in a new format.

?I don?t think Hustler will exist another two or three years from now,? Flynt told Erin Moriarty on CBS Sunday Morning.

Hustler will instead be making a move online, Larry Flynt said, with a virtual version set to launch in a month.

So Flynt plans to take the adult material online in a virtual version he plans to start in a month.

Though Larry Flynt launched Hustler and toiled through court battles and public attacks, he said he?s not too broken up to see it go out of print.

?I treat Hustler the same way as I would if it was a jar of peanut butter or a can of green beans,? Flynt says. ?You know, it?s a product and when you?re not making money, you got to move on.?

Flynt still has plenty of other projects working. He has put great effort into his California casino, and looks to expand his gambling empire with another casino purchase in Arizona.

?Had I known that casinos would be as lucrative as they were, I would have gotten into them long before I did,? he tells CBS. ?It?s been very profitable.?

In New York, Flynt?s Hustler Club is planning a weeklong celebration for Super Bowl XLVII that includes extended hours, gourmet complimentary buffet, and ?beautiful entertainers? from across the United States.

Larry Flynt also plans to keep the club open until 4 am after the Super Bowl, with private rooms and a heated roof deck with cigars available for fans and players on the winning team.

These old porn companies who never hit the internet till it was too late are paying for it.

Fortunately, Hustler started early. I had content with them on BroadcastSex.com back in '99/'00.

I'll just say ...nope. More like a lot more work but I'm not yet allowed to say why. :)

Exactly. We don't belong in that grouping at all Hustler.com and all the associated sites are doing particularly well and no doubt part of the reason for that was that LFP has been in the digital game so long that things have been tried and tested enough over time to have learned at a natural rate rather than having to play rapid catchup. That,of course, does not mean we don't have to stay on our toes to keep from slipping.

As an aside, my first affiliate check was from Cashquest which became Webquest which was part of Flynt Digital. That was a long time ago.

Huster's a great historic brand.

As an aside, it was nice seeing Sean at the ATMLA party. Every single time i see him he has the biggest smile on his face. I made a joke that it looks like they put him in charge of running the Hustler store on Sunset since it's always so crowded. We both laughed.

Nice to see everything in good hands :)

are they starting a chubby section for you?

I remember it being a big deal to look at a Huster or Penthouse mag. Back then, if I could have looked into the future and seen some of the porn that exists today, I would have exploded into a puddle of jizz. No wonder Flynt can't compete.

That excuse died in 2005.

Because there's a lot of porn companies that DID get on the Internet in the early days and more than half of them are gone. And look around this site, more than half the people posting on here are on line and they're broke and soon to disappear.

It's a never ending cycle on the Internet of a handful of companies get 99% of a rapidly and forever decreasing pie. So if you want to make money you need to find some sort of good or service that can't be put on the net.
