[EDITED]

Pornographers are in bigger trouble, thanks to technology. The web has spawned so-called “tube” sites, such as PornHub.com, that post short clips from users. These are typically pirated and free. That somewhat undermines the porn industry’s business model.

Interesting. But those clips serve me better than buying a porn movie.

I also have a buddy who rents them and goes home and simply copies them.

He doesn't post them, but he's not watching online.

Yeah, one day idk what happened but I wacked off atleast 6 times in one night. All to 6 different videos, all of which I did not buy. Guess I could see the problem.

Haha.

It's been at least 5 or 6 years since I've even purchased a porno-DVD in a store. Then considering how airbody & they mama is making homemade porn and posting it on these tube sites for free, I can see why the industry would be crying, lol. The Internet has changed the game, for better and for worse, for so many industries.

Well threr are three things that are really eating into online porn profits:

1. PornTube sites/piracy - Sure, just as Hollywood movies and TV shows are being pirated all over the web, porn is being pirated all over too. Yes, much of that content is from professional adult studios, but even with companies actively pulling pirated content off their servers, there's so much professionally produced content out there that it's nearly impossible to police all of it.

2. Amateur porn - Likewise, with the rise of the web and porntube sites, a lot of porn fans have gotten bored with the professional productions and their use of surgically enhanced talent, the same sex scenarios, the same sex positions, the fake enthusiasm in bed, etc., so they are flocking to amateur videos where the sex partners are really into the sex they are having. What the amateur videos lack in cnematic quality, they make up for in sincerity, and a lot of frisky couples are willing to post their sexual exploits online for all to see.

3. Social networking - Since the explosion of the web in the late 1990's, people flocked to see online porn, and from about 1998 to 2006 porn sites and downloading sites featuring porn were the most visited sites on the web outside of Google and Yahoo. But then came MySpace, and Facebook, YouTube and Twitter soon followed that. Once these social networking sites took off in popularity, a lot of people, especially younger people, drifted away from porn and towads the sites where they could interact with people. While people may have enjoyed looking at porn online, they enjoy social interaction more, as it is instantaneous.

Will porn go they way of the dinosaur and the dodo bird? Most likely not. But it will have to innovate more, and traditionally it has done that in the past. Now the porn industry will just have to find more creative ways to get fans to part with their money.

XNXX, xHamster, Shufuni, Free2Peek, YouJizz, RedTube, etc. etc. etc....

Why would anybody pay for porn that will always be the same when there's an endless variety of stuff most people can't even imagine available for free?
