Ever notice how technology gets adopted first by pornographers, then by more general entertainment companies, then financial services … and so on?
Ever notice how traditional publishers are usually coming on board last?
Is it funding (porn has more money)?
Is it the zealousness of the customer base?
Is it a willingness to take risks?
What do you think?
Well Robert – you have my vote!
Well Ann, you managed to ask the Question of the Day, I think.
I used to hear analysts say, “follow the money”, and I think that may provide a hint.
Porn = low budget, high revenue
Entertainment = high budget, high revenue
Etc = mid budget, mid revenue
Looks like the margin is higher for porn, doesn’t it? Now, I wonder if this armchair analysis is correct?
