The people with power in this industry think of the talent as an easily expendable and replacable commodity to be used, cast aside and you just get another new one. Sooner or later the govt. is going to legislate, fee, or tax the industry to death so I better make all the money I can right now and fuck everyone else.
The talent does not plan for the future either. They are just living for today and fuck the future. Thats why almost none of them have any insurance or they don’t invest their money for the future when they are too old to do porn any more. Why would I need health insurance when I can use that money to buy another $5000 handbag? Why would I need to buy life insurance when I’m only 22 and I can spend that money on this cool looking tattoo I have been wanting? Why put $10000 in the bank or CDs? I would rather get a new pair of +2’s.
