Porn as a general business concept is getting the consequences of letting the genie out of the bottle. Decades and decades they pined that porn was so taboo and reclusive. They wanted recognition. They were also mostly awful businessmen, and would have been failures in a mainstream sector.

So a business that treats porn like a business comes along and takes porn away from the old school people. And it gets recognized, and douchebags like Maitland Ward, andSasha Gray start claiming they are mainstream now. Guess what you get from the mainstream? CalOSHA, law enforcement stings (ask Max and JeffMike), religious backlash, tax audits, all the shit that a "mainstream" business gets. Of course, Manwin is still run by criminals, who in general aren't good businessmen, and they make moronic mistakes like this, and now they and OF get to feel the repercussions.

I liked when porn was sleazy and hush hush. I liked when no one dared go down to Pleasure World in the middle of the day, or you had to go to the jankity pawn shop to buy it. It was a hell of a lot more fun.

Soros, meh he said the Covid recession would last a century. He needs more Geritol.
