I could see the crisis that was coming for the porn industry in the real world and felt, indeed still feel, that much of the industry simply didn&#8217;t grasp what was happening with online erotic content.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, how idealistic I was. After the initial flowering of amateur content in 2005-2006 things have gone a bit awry. There are a number of adult bloggers creating excellent and very personal posts and images, but it is a small number in comparison to the proliferation of content on tube sites.<\/p>\n<p>At one point much of the videos available on the fledgling tube sites claimed to be amateur, and some still do, but I think that particular charade is being replaced by the blatant commercialism of the porn industry. In one way of course that&#8217;s a good thing, the faux amateur label being removed has an appealing honesty. But I do feel that as bloggers were unable or unwilling to create the increasingly graphic images required to compete with the tube sites and commercial porn &#8220;blogs&#8221; they have dwindled to a few dedicated bloggers who write more for themselves than a like-minded community.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the BDSM and swinger communities is there anyone with a similar mindset to an adult blogger? We for example get excellent traffic, better than at any point in our history, but comments come from a few readers (some bloggers some not). Most of our visitors lurk, often for a long time, reading and taking in what we publish but not feeling the urge to comment as they once might have.<\/p>\n<p>In a way I miss the way things were a few years ago, but the fact that those days are no more is not a surprise and I don&#8217;t long for them to return because the only constant in life is change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago I made a prediction which has turned out to be almost entirely wrong.
