/pdg/ Porn Discussion General

We really need a thread to discuss the state of the industry, promising newcomers, good scenes, etc.

What impact do you think Onlyfans had on the porn industry? Here it destroyed both the porn and escort markets...>>2510831
>state of industry
I think the industry obsession with incest and copypasta scenes where actresses cosplay roles exclusively held by children in the real world (school girls, girl scouts, cosplays of child characters, etc.) isn't actual response to consumer demands. I believe it was, for whatever reason, pushed by the industry itself. Porn always had those categories, but they were niche and not fetishes you'd readily admit to consuming. Their push to normalize incest and the infantilization of every actress possible exclusively produces negative outcomes and expectations in mordern society.

More negatives than positives. At every level, tradeoffs with instant virtual prostitution ensures everyone not at the top of the pyramid loses. Women rarely make a livable wage, but if they do, it will cost family, friends, privacy, safety, job opportunities, and any hope of a normal relationship. Creators sign up for it and should know what they're getting into, but most creators join as a last resort and/or are promised wealth and freedom that doesn't exist in sex work. The consumer is hurt the least, but they're buying worse content in quality, variety, are often paying ultra premium prices for it, and are blasted with predatory parasocial relationships. Most consumers have no idea they're usually interacting with an agency. The agency has no obligation to disclose that and WILL lie about it if asked. Hardlocking content at 720p, lower framerates, upload size limits, and incentivizing creators to charge access to both their feed AND each drop is bad for the consumer. Nothing is incentivizing a good product so it often isn't. The website is horribly optimized and needs a redesign with more options for the consumer. Creators spam ads for other creators 24/7 which is annoying to navigate or keep feeds tailored to personal interests. That's just the basics. Overall, OF is designed to make slop for losers with disposable income.Octavia Red is one of the few new pornwhores that is actually beautiful. Looks stunning in some scenes.
