Great question.
Big fish or little fish?
Big fish demand a lot of food, if the food isn't there they might become extinct. Doing OK at the moment consuming little one and on what they used to get. Will it last?
Interesting article recently by Louis Theroux might give an indication. He returned to porn to do another documentary visiting people who saw years back. One was a porn star doing live Cam from home, she did her show and reported $100 earned. If that's the average and she works 5 days a week, it's $250,000 a year. Not bad for a Ma & Pa operation.
If I returned to shooting it would be just Eva and I, hiring a make up artist part time and shooting from home or locations. No way can we fund the operation we had.
Manwin are boasting how many employees today? That requires a lot of sales every day for years to maintain at the same level. Great while they're gobbling up the little guys and their traffic. what happens when there's little meat left to gobble up? The one man bands won't sustain them. They are fueling their own demise. Maybe the long term plan is to make a quick buck and get out before the fall. Or jump to another ship.
Downsizing to a life raft might not work.
Because the one thing that came out of the documentary was these big guys created sales, had great financial backing and
planned long term. Yes they were in it for the duration.
