The Future

When I think about the future of entertainment, I'm less inclined to listen to prognostications from CEOs of media companies -- since usually they are just hawking their products -- and more likely just to look at the landscape of porn.
At the same time, shrinking porn profits and a talent supply-and-demand imbalance have caused performers' salaries to decline....While a decade ago the average female performer would make about $100,000 a year, Spiegler says she now might make as little as $50,000 -- all while juggling responsibilities such as social-media outreach and personal appearances.
More work and less pay. Sounds like Hollywood. Sounds like the rest of the America. Get ready folks -- we might see a revival of Colonialism as soon as people realize how difficult life is when the free market gets hold of every corner of the earth.  All the folks who cried for social justice and fairness will hate their new jobs as much as the next person.
