VHS and DVD marked the end of the pay-for-porn era. Porn up to this point was all made according to what sold copies, and that was true pretty much till the early 2000s. Dial up brought in clips for porn, but DVDs were still superior since those clips were 320p and short (30sec). Once we hit broadband, that is when the Porn Tubes were born along side Youtube and other video hosting sites. That is what changed porn - you now have a new source of eyeballs - free streaming porn. And this changed how porn was selected and fapped to. Add to this the parasocial situation that is camgirls, amateurs uploading their own, and you have 2 major groups of competition for professional porn.
Of course now you can find full 2k and 4k downloads, or even VR porn, and whole new genres of porn have been birthed: VR porn, animated porn, AI porn, etc. To make matters worse, these movie sellers have to deal with digital ID and payment processor fuckery now. Hence why it's back to niche fetish porn folks doing paid movies, normie stuff just won't turn a profit.
