How will the recession effect our industry?

[Forest]

they say our biz in based on impulse buys. Will a recession effect us dramatically?

There's always "meat to be beat"

Might actually help a littlle. People staying at home more instead of spending money going out. $25/month for a paysite membership is cheap compared to going out to a bar/club a couple of times a week.

Also, a good chunk of my traffic is European. The same $25.00 membership that cost €19.20 a year ago, costs only €16.90 today.

As if this industry serves another purpose?????

Fucking porn is not considered a necessity commodity for society. neither is the Internet for that matter. if another recession falls into effect, this industry would sink

BULLFUCKINSHIT!! Tobacco, Alcohol & Porn are a mainstay in this economy.
John Q Public may cut back on a lot of shit, but he's always going to have the ability to get drunk, beat his meat and have a smoke afterword.

Shit, Blue....don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel!

Historically porn is pretty recession proof. Delivery medium shouldn't matter. $5 for Penthouse or Hustler gets you a 3 day trial, maybe save off some stuff to spank to later. $20-30 for a DVD makes a paysite join look like a no brainer as you get a month of all you can spank for same price and a hell of a lot more variety.

Blue got it right, the average Joe on the street does't prioritize his expenses logically, certain entertainment expenses will be made in front of anything else.

Dont believe me? How many run down rotting house trailers have you ever seen WITHOUT a satellite dish or cable TV?

Ya well, I'd say that yes, ...Most forms of self indulgent "Addictions" usually become daily routines inside societies average lifestyles.
But if you wanna call them mainstays? ...uhhh ya sure, ok LOL.

True, but remember that during hard times, he'll be drinking the 3.99 six pack of schlitz and beating his meat to all the FREE PORN he can snag, "if & when he can keep his Internet service up n running" and smoking the shit weed cuz he can't afford quality smoke.

Addictions don't die due to hard times. but we learn to economize with cheaper forms to fulfill our addicted habits. And since those are pretty much the ONLY forms of addiction still legal inside the United States they all can be found very easily and cheaply through out this nation. "like in every corner MOM & POP Store."

I think the effects may already be seen there is a lot of people looking for work which implies some companies have already downsized and law suits are cranking up in this business as well so it seems a lot of people are done letting others screw them over.

I think we will see some consolidation and as the cost and risks increase with the hard times ahead a lot of people and companies will probably not be able to stay afloat.

As an aside.
Kevin is doing quite well and living the life.
His mainstream guess during that time paid off big for him and hes living quite comfortable and making a nice chunk of change.
He changed his focus to mainstream early on and it paid off for him.
