I once heard this site compared the porn industry to the murder of crows sitting on a telephone pole. When one of them decides, for whatever reason, to sit on a new pole, the hoard quickly follows and we’re back to the same old squawking. It’s an excellent analogy of how things work.
What keeps the jizz biz alive is society’s enormous demand to see people play with their genitals. If it were not for this fact, most professional pornographers agree that porn would have died years ago.
In the porn business when people say “Adapt or Die“, they’re almost always telling someone to figure out how to embrace new technologies. This short-sighted approach may work for geeks that spend the majority of their lives on the Internet in front of some sort of screen, but it is a crow’s mentality.
Subsequently, online porn is an over-saturated market, flooded with amateurs, freebies, and pirates. It’s also a very fickle environment because what is popular is dictated by herd mentalities and herd animals seldom have their own opinions. In layman’s terms, Internet masturbaters get horny over what everyone else says is hot, so they congregate around the same platforms.
The sex acts in porn have essentially remained the same for all of human history. There are only so many ways that someone can fuck and you don’t have to watch a lot of videos to get the gist of the plot. It’s the smart businessman that realizes his objective is to earn a profit on his investment.
Therefore, adapt or die has nothing to do with embracing new technology and everything to do with exploiting his own imagination. In other words, he needs to innovate and the newest techno trends might not even be part of that equation.
It comes down to having something and finding someone that will pay for it. This is how the marketplace works, whether we sell a hat, a car, a service, or a video of a 10 man gang bang. All we are really after is money in exchange for it, so we can turn around and buy something else that we want or feel we need.
Getting into the mind of the consumer to learn what he wants and then making him believe that you’re the only one in the world that can satisfy him, is the greatest economic game of adapt or die in existence. I speculate that it’s as old as prostitution; when a cavewoman looked at a caveman and wondered if she could get a woolly mammoth blanket from him if she let him fuck her in the ass.
I’ve often said that good businessmen are conniving whores that have no loyalty to anyone and are always looking to trade up. Someone that has paid $200 today is forgotten about tomorrow when someone else offers $500, and she’ll take both if she’s able.
Plus if she can get away with doing less work for the money, then she will. Greed is natural and in any business adaptation it’s a good thing, despite that most people are ashamed to admit it. Because without greed, we would never feel the need to adapt, and probably, if the expression has any validity, die out.
