Liz, IMO, porn companies realize they can make more money producing garbage than they can producing high quality stuff. Take that Pirates movie for example. They had a huge budget and spent a ton of money on quality stars and fancy realistic sets. But, the video only had moderate success and I'm sure after expenses, they made far less profit than they would have if they'd just cranked out another run-of-the-mill porn movie and kept the overhead to a minimum.

Supply and demand will control the market. When enough people get tired of the crappy stuff and stop buying it, or start only buying the good stuff, the companies producing the crappy stuff will have to step up their game again.

And, see, that's sad to me. That we have an industry that is rewarded financially for churning out crap, but stuff that makes the effort to acheive quality ends up as a commercial failure.
