Penthouse shuts down magazine

Seems Penthouse announced earlier today they are shutting down the magazine and moving over to digital only?

why would anyone pay for porn pics or movies if there's truckloads of everything for free, all you (surfer) needs is a click away in google, where huge tubes hold all the ranks.

Tip: To make okay money you need to sell something, that can not be pirated. Think about it.

Just like newspapers unfortunately, magazines are going bye-bye. I used to buy 4-6 mags a month - now I never do.

Sears catalog has been gone, And their store may be on the way out too. I used to stare at those beautiful set-ups of G.I. Joe and Star Wars Figures for hours.

Modern version of that is kids looking at toys on Youtube.

I saw this start over 15 years ago.

The "Lads" mags are gone, magazines and newspapers shrinking. Even tangible goods sales are moving from the High Street to online.

And some still think nothing will change in porn. LOL

Good point. But you know, if marketed correctly, the classic porn mag - hard copy - could become like a vinyl record. A collectable item for people with beards whose trousers are too tight

Back in the 90's those Taschen coffee table books were all the rage. There may be a niche there for having a 'Swank' or 'Razzle' in the man cave.

Just a thought.

Yeah, because you're a fucking genius. Who could have possibly seen a digital and media revolution changing print media but you? All us other idiots who aren't Paul Markham really thought the internet was a fad that would have gone away by the end of the summer.

What did you write about? For 5k you should have written every page in the magazine.

Surprised it took this long. I thought they took it out back to shoot it 5 years ago.

Shame, end of an era, but when the only people left buying actual magazines are Dr's offices for their waiting rooms (of which who aren't buying Penthouse) and a few diehard collectors I'm surprised there are any left in production at all.

Btw anyone have a copy of Oct '77 PH in halfway decent condition? It's the one that got away.

Surprised it took this long considering you can get everything at home or mobile. I haven't bought any type of magazines in many years. Think the market for porn magazines has been reduced to old school truckers without smart phones or people that live where internet connection is not so hot unless people really do buy them for the articles.

The offline guys saw it, some even jumped to online porn. Hustler being the top one. I was also someone who saw the shift and started to sell online around 1995 and seriously in 1999.

Does that make me a genius? Well, I thank you. I also saw that giving away porn in ever increasing amounts would kill more and more sales.

Also saw you were worthless so treated you as such. You're either a pussy offline or so desperate to hang on to me. You stayed, and stayed, and I even had to feed you a cheap pasta meal, then ignore you by watching the TV before you got the hint.

Show us your ad campaigns on sites so we can see your progress in the industry.
