Of course, the great content has to be marketed well. The problem is getting the great content first so when people see it, they like it enough to buy it. Which is why even with the greatest marketing, Porn Nerd won't sell well.
I still dont know what people mean when they say things are bad or porn doesn't convert. This is what happened, internet was new, sales were flowing, everything was so over the top good that people were retiring after a year in some cases. Things dropped some, tubes were introduced. People then saw they cannot spend the same amount, some simply saw the decline but people stopped spending or spent very little. This caused the industry to drop at a significant rate, however if you continued to spend the same amount, people would have still profited a ton but thye sent their businesses in a downward spiral even more. This is the problem with porn companies today, they are all afraid of producing at a higher cost because porn doens't sell like it did 10 years ago, but to say it doesn't still sell very well when you do it right, is crazy. If all youre saying is that porn when produced half assed doesn't sell, well thats pretty obvious. Thats the world we live in, make something shitty, you wont see success. Sadly every porn company is compiled of people with absurd expectations due to what they were making 10-15 years ago who wish they were still making a million off any project they launched and are completely unhappy with the 500k, etc - then you have the other percent who aren't aware there is still 500k/year to be made off a single project.

^^^ sums up the entire industry
