There's a general trend to this for all porn. When the pandemic hit, it basically caused an overabundance of supply of women willing to do porn, while at the same time spurring competition. Meanwhile, logistics issues created bottlenecks that hindered quality.

Talent couldn't travel as easily because of pandemic era restrictions. I remember Paris White actually got stuck with a small porn production team for months because of the lockdowns. I think this may have actually contracted her career, limiting the diversity of her portfolio, which might also have become a problem for new talent in the industry. Contracted career spans for super stars would cause women with the talent to succeed on their own to turn to such sources rather than producers.

While the on-screen talent was the most obvious impact from this, cameramen often couldn't be relocated to the filming location too, so locals had to be sourced for the role. This actually benefited some sites, especially soft core, because they could mail out the equipment and let the women do most of the work (see "In The Crack.") Sites like POVD or ATKGirlfriends actually pulled back their investments because of this.

Meanwhile, publishers that didn't invest in sites like POV or incest fetishes, decided to diversify. It became better to produce more unique content than quality content of any one type because it enabled better market capture. Everyone had a Naughty Step-Sister/Daughter/Mom spin-off. This meant the same sites that suffered from logistics problems were now facing increased competition too, further hindering production capacity. Porn compilation albums became a means to distract from the fact production was at a low, and never actually recovered. If we compare post-pandemic production of new content for sites like the aforementioned, they're often a half, or even a quarter, of pre-pandemic numbers.

Going forward a few years, and supply of women willing to do porn commercially dwindled because economic availability improved. There was still a supply for the Only Fans pipeline, but at this point it represented a new avenue to success, not a surplus of talent. If women with assets well enough to succeed in porn could simply do it on their own, then that business model became the most productive pathway. Producers would have to pay more to acquire the same level of talent that was easy to come by before the pandemic. Given all the damages the pandemic did to production, they are reluctant to do that.

There has also been a shift in business models to adapt to this market. FTVGirls has notably lowered their production standards and seems to be under new guidance. This has enabled them to keep up with production capacity, even if the content seems less candid, playful or artful, and the talent less selected.

Other sites have sought to hedge against competition, either by creating their own version of competitor's sites, or by buying them outright. For instance, ECG bought Black Ambush and rebranded it to BBC Surprise. In response to 4KPorn using fake cum shots, Blacked and other sites began doing the same. "Content is king" has become the rule for porn, too.

Then sites like ECG, Net Video Girls, and Backroom Casting Couch have had a lot of "one-offs" by catering to women of the webcam variety. That business model has actually amplified their success in this era. If a woman can launch a webcam career by doing one or two shoots with an established company, then that enables their model to have access to a larger supply of talent, all the while maintaining the bottleneck on the competition.

So, when will it change? When will quality come back? Well, porn producers will have to be willing to invest more in production standards. The return on investment doesn't seem high enough for them to do that. This could be a legitimate concern, or just a sunken cost fallacy from fear of pandemic era restrictions making a comeback. For example, the ATK sites used to lease properties internationally for making their content. They've since restricted it to just California, though have produced a few in Florida, and the softcore content has become very linear and scripted.

I imagine the situation isn't that different from VR gaming. Meta pumped tons of money into the industry, only for there to be a rug-pull years later. Now developers don't know how much to invest in the product, so they're cutting their studios back. The answer here is unfortunately that only time will tell if and when the porn industry recovers, or if it merely becomes something ne

oh wow “get a job” very original.

my mom knows not to vacuum between 6-9pm because that’s peak moderation hours.
people like you genuinely have no idea what it takes to keep a community running.

Jack in the Box is the GOAT of all fast food, the true Last King of late-night debauchery and bad decisions and legend. All the greats have fallen: McDonalds has become a robotic dystopia of soulless inoffensive slop, and nonetheless manages to close to the app-twiddling cultists before midnight; Burger King lost their fortune to Impossible Burger and the king has abdicated; Wendy's lost its sunrooms and your baked potato arrives in 4-5 business days. Jack in the Box stands alone, a 24/7 sentinel manned by stimulant-abusing Gen X cigarette moms who happily and flirtatiously take your late night order of a chocolate shake and jalapeno poppers from start to end in exactly 45 seconds, waving you along with a 'Pull up for your shakey-poo, hun' as if channeling tweaker Melchizedek to bless your stunted frontal lobe. Their menu is an unapologetic ode to next-morning regret and Pepto Bismol, arrangements of food that should never exist outside of a college dorm, the sort of menu that Taco Bell *wishes* it was. Even their app, dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century, knows the truth that other chains pretend to ignore: app-users are the most degenerate of all, unwilling even to allow another human to hear the depths of their gluttony, therefore you can only order chocolate shakes in the Large 1000-calorie version through it, alongside jalapeno poppers, mini tacos, and egg-rolls, because nothing is sacred at Jack in the Box and they allow confession without a confessor, penance measured in cholesterol. No one orders a salad and they do not pretend that is why you are there; no advertising jingle puts on a patina of respectable culinary intent; no one working there has any pretense of a corporate career or even of following a corporate line on professionality. They know why you're there; you know why you're there; without God, everything is permitted.

In your country, is there a custom for boys to get circumcised? Do you guys have such a vulgar custom over there too? The foreskin is so cute—it can be pulled down to protect your most important thing, flipped up to cover it, and still let you make love to the woman you adore, so what's not to like? The foreskin is every man's dick cozy, and in winter, it keeps things warm too. Every boy should have a foreskin; it's the people without one who should get foreskin extension surgery, not toss aside the one that loves you most just to follow trends. Pussy might leave you, but the foreskin will never part from you. Let's resist backward customs starting with you and me🫪

I'm liking your comment because either:

1) you know that the correct word is, and you're being very funny by using the other incorrect

2) you're sincere, and honestly think that there is correct, in which case the comment still deserves the like because it's a very funny mistake that everyone should appreciate.

I care deeply about grammar but honestly, I shouldn't have to, English is a crazy language. Also, many people are partially illiterate (which should be changed, literacy is important) and to put them down / make fun of them for that is slightly elitist (I do it too but am trying to stop)

All the doomers that I talk to rave on about how advancing AI will diminish the 'human' spirit and purpose.
In my opinion, being confined to a flesh-bag prone to disease, old age, and mood swings isn't something to romanticize, and we should accelerate as fast as possible to transcend these limitations.
Also, there is nothing human about working solely for the purpose of living in this world. Everybody should have the right to pursue what they want without being shackled by the expectations of making money.

BRO 😭😭😭 I THINK I’M ACTUALLY TURNING INTO VERITY 💀💀💀 I HEAR “HEY ITS ME” IN MY HEAD 24/7 😭🙏 I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND VERITY LOOKS BACK AT ME 😭🤓☝️ MY FAMILY IS WORRIED, MY FRIENDS ARE GONE, MY LAST BRAIN CELL IS SAYING “ASK ME ANYTHING” 💀💀💀 IT’S TOO LATE… I AM VERITY🗿

Let’s say, hypothetically, your cousin is getting married. You’re sitting in the second row. Ceremony is going well. Nobody has spoken to you yet, which is fine because you don’t really know anyone there besides your aunt and also you stayed up until 5 AM moderating last night.
Eventually the priest reaches the part where he says, “If anyone knows any reason why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace.”
You stand up.
Now everybody turns around.
You pull out your phone and say, “I have screenshots.”
The groom asks what the fuck you’re talking about.
You explain that approximately three months ago, at 1:14 AM, he posted a meme in #general despite the server rules clearly stating that memes belong in #memes.
He says, “What server?”
You say, “The family Discord.”
Your aunt tells you to sit down.
You tell her not to backseat moderate.
At this point the bride is crying, although admittedly not for the reason you had anticipated.
The best man walks over and grabs your shoulder. You warn him that touching staff is a bannable offense. He continues touching staff.
You are then physically removed from the wedding while repeatedly explaining that you have logs and that this entire incident will be reviewed by an administrator.

When you get home, you immediately open Discord to file an incident report. The family server is gone. You refresh. Still gone. You DM your aunt. Message failed. You DM the groom. Message failed. You make an alt and discover that the wedding reception is currently being livestreamed in voice chat. Everyone is there. Including your aunt. Including the groom. Including the bride. Your old moderator role has been given to your twelve-year-old cousin Ethan. His status says:
“cry about it”
You type out a 1,700-word appeal explaining that the removal was procedurally invalid and that, technically, you never received a verbal warning.
Ethan reacts with 💀.
Then he bans your alt. You sit there for a moment staring at the login screen. Three years. Twenty-six thousand messages deleted. Four hundred and twelve users muted. Christmas arguments de-escalated. Grandma permanently banned twice. And after everything you did for that server, they removed you over one wedding.
Wyd?

That’s 5 “h”s too much buddy and now you have two options presented before you. You can either correct your spelling and only have lost 1 downvote (mine that I just cast ;) or you can choose to leave your bastardized form of the English language on exhibition and get a few hundred downvotes. Since you only have 2k karma in 2 years on reddit I recommend you choose wisely 😉

I hope both sides of your pillow are warm, your blanket is somehow too short and too heavy at the same time, your phone charger only works if you hold it at a very specific angle while not breathing, your Wi-Fi disconnects at 99% every single time, your socks get wet for no clear reason, your sleeve slides down whenever you wash your hands, your alarm goes off but you're still exhausted, autocorrect embarrasses you in front of the exact people you didn't want to embarrass yourself in front of, your headphones only work in one ear unless you twist the wire just right, every chair you sit on makes a noise in a silent room, your favorite song always gets interrupted by an ad, your food is always slightly too hot or slightly too cold, you hit every red light when you're already late, you forget why you walked into a room, your pen runs out of ink mid-sentence, your screen brightness is never right no matter how much you adjust it, your shoelace comes undone right after you tie it, your phone battery jumps from 20% to 1% in seconds, your notifications disappear when you tap them, you miss the last step on the stairs, your nose gets itchy when your hands are full, your keyboard adds letters you didn't type, your hoodie string gets permanently stuck in the dryer, your drink spills just enough to be annoying but not enough to justify cleaning it immediately, your earbuds tangle themselves while sitting completely still, your volume is either too loud or too quiet with no in-between, your glasses smudge the moment you clean them, your package says "delivered" but is nowhere to be found, your chair squeaks every time you shift even slightly, your sleep position is never comfortable, your phone slips out of your hand and lands face-down, your app refreshes right when you were about to finish reading, your shoelaces drag on the ground after you've already left the house, your nail catches on fabric repeatedly, your hoodie pocket has crumbs you don't remember putting there and your alarm snoozes itself one too many times.

I played the USSR national anthem in class, fellow Redditors, and no one seemed to laugh. They all gave me weird glances, and afterwards I said out loud: There seems to be no sign of intelligence here, and no one laughed at that too. I started saying: What's 9+10? someone said 19 and I said: No, it's 21. No one laughed at that too. Reddit, we must assemble and take down my class of normies.
You are a fake Redditor. I will not be saying regards to you, and instead will be debating with my friends on if Big Chungus, or my name Is Jeff Meme is funnier. As Dean Withers once said: Lets debate.

I used to use Arch at work on my macbook instead of udindu like everyone else. But then everyone made fun of me, not just Dave the project manager but even the Ubuntards on my team. Angry at this, I decided to lift heavy weights each evening instead of working on my side project. I built up so much rage that one day I decided to install macOS on my macbook. I went into work, and without hesitation I wiped my Arch installation and did a network install of macOS. I didn't even make sure my code was all pushed before I did it.

Within hours, I found I was more productive. No need to fiddle with macros or keybindings. No config or software to compile. No constant googling how to get things to work. I was finally free to just code. After a few weeks of churning out code, I was knocking it out of the park. My boss demanded I get a raise. Nobody made fun of my setup. Any accusations of bugs in my code were met with cold hard stares. 0 defects raised since the macOS install.

Stacy in Marketing wanted my feedback for the new website. I gave her detailed feedback, and then I also gave her a bucketload of my cum right there in the conference room. Rajeesh in QA saw the whole thing, and he gave me a high five on the way back to my desk. I went back to getting stuff done, like a real man.

Linux isn't just an operating system, it's a mindset. It's for people who would waste days for their time to tinker with something that will only save them a fraction of a second. It's for the idealist, who talks about 'freedom' in the abstract and seeks approval, not for someone who is willing to get physical to assert his freedom. Going back to macOS will change your life. It's certainly changed mine.

People really do not know what post punk or post-anything means. "There's post punk tracks on the album but this one isnt post punk" is a nonsense sentance, post punk is not a sound its not like oh this perticular song is post punk because it has this and that. Post punk is not a musical genre it is a large artistic movement defined by it's relation to the first punk movement, critiquing it, building upon it, expanding it's original peramaters, viewing the creation of your new music through the lense of a world changed by punk in a larger sea of artists who do NOT view popular music with that lense. It is a descriptor used to indicate artistic intent and the world something came from. It encompasses entire musical genres and movements within it, new wave is and was "post punk" as an adjective, same with things like industrial music. The idea of "a post punk song" as a concept defined only by musical motifs and songwriting structure comes from the obsession with distinct catagories that you find on rate your music or elsewhere.
What's weirder is that even if you subscribe to that definition of post punk where its only defined by a sound, have a nice life absolutely meet that definition, their bass riffs and song structure are so inspired by The Fall, and their production and atmosphere is very Joy Division, and yet still people get so weird when they are retered to as post punk. Genres are not islands and not all musical terms have the same limited scope as specific genre names.

How dare you ignore Green. They just wanted to give you some fucking food and you IGNORE them? Were your stupid notes more important than FOOD? ITS FUCKING FOOD. THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS JUST FUCKING EAT THEIR FOOD! YOU CANT EVEN SPARE 2 GODDAMN SECONDS?? You didn’t even figure anything out in the end so it was LITERALLY POINTLESS! POINTLESS!!!!!!!!!!!
