This is why I choose to be a paying member. Not only for the quality, but because it is stealing when you download porn from other sites without paying.
I especially wanted to emphasize this from the article for the performers. These boys truly are broke and will never make a living from doing just porn. I hope they realize that.
Adult film performers are obviously indispensable to porn films. But when a studio has to make budget cuts, there is no unnecessary fat left to trim off the meat—so performers are forced to take the hit. A decade ago, the average female adult performer made about $100,000 a year. Today, she’s lucky to make half that amount. Male performers make even less. Now, most performers have to supplement their income with Web camming, doing personal appearances, dancing at gentlemen’s clubs, or escorting, all while maintaining their social media presence to connect with their fans. But even doing all that might not be enough to make a decent living.
Unlike Hollywood actors, adult film performers are not millionaires. This is not a get-rich occupation. Even the most popular and successful among us, or about 10 percent of performers, earn the same approximate annual income from shooting scenes as that of an IT manager. The other 90 percent of performers would be lucky to make the same annual income as a high school teacher. And they’re the ones who are forced to take the biggest pay cuts for their per-scene rates, just to get hired.
