Good porn still sells. The issue is that most people can't really tell the difference between good and poor, these companies wouldn't be producing this content if they didn't think it was good, in their opinion theyre producing good porn and its just not selling that well. This is where the idea comes from that porn doesnt sell, not everybody has the eye for whats good. Sadly this industry is compiled of people who are either unaware, don't care enough because they already made their bank and people not educated enough to capitalize. Alot of companies are still handcuffed due to the lack of skill in the production department. Adult's best producers (minus maybe one or two people) couldn't even get an assisting job in any mainstream project. They simply have no idea how to shoot. Most producers dont have the ability to judge talent, most don't know when a model looks their best (because they alway think they look amazing), they dont understand the market, they do not know how to adapt their style, they do not care enough to continue improving (lack of drive), etc etc

The people still doing it right are making a ton, while other people sit here and talk about how bad things are.

Industries mature, this is whats occurring. The talented people and more corporate companies who know how to manage their budget and not afraid to spend are rising to the top and the small to medium sized businesses are fading away. This industry still makes money, but it will remain in the top percent. Is it hard to reach the top percent, no. will be be eventually? yes. but right now, with the level of production people offer, theres ample opportunity to come in and produce a better scene. Right now, the current trend is "erotica", these producers spend so much time focusing on the quality of their lighting and composition and the technical side that they've completely lost sight on making the scene actually interesting. So far there has been 0 balance of quality and substance. And until the production teams follow the company in regards to how they operate and manage finances, there will be room to improve. Production teams are still adult, while the companies have turned corporate/mainstream (in a sense). These production teams are still way behind the times
