I agree with the members which believe the 'crisis' is purely artificial.
As a porn viewer, I don't see the problem. I still see content every week, although the content to me is variable in quality,I think its got better over the last ten years. Some may disagree with me. I've only been watching porn for the last 6 years.
Of course, there may be a 'crisis' under the surface.
Maybe I'm not getting the point but, I think one of the main issues is the saturation of the market. There is a very vast amount of content available. Look at 21Sextury, with all sites combined they must have updates more than once per day. Perfect Gonzo running several sites, with weekly updates, which equates to one update/shot per day. These are two of the big examples. But there are tens of production company doing this every week and if not 100s or 1000s of smaller productions updating once per week.
So what does this mean? Everyone is after a slice of the cake, the slices will just get bigger and bigger. The growth of the internet has allowed much more money to enter porn, but I think its being divided up more and more. And the 'over production' we hear is just a result of the high competition. The better your production, often the bigger the slice of cake.
I can understand that paying models better has its benefits, and a such a idea could help this, but in reality a 'EBI' shot will be Further adding to what I could be considered a already saturated market!
Now I don't mean to say the saturation is a problem, because It seems to result in better quality porn for viewers.
