The Era Of The Porn Superstar Might Be Coming (Hah!) To An End
Summary
While the Jenna Jameson’s of old might have made just a dollar or so per sale of a big studio porn movie they’re featured in, today’s demi-stars could rake in the same revenue by keeping most of $30 monthly site subscription fees from their hardcore (pun intended) fans. like Bree Olson and Sasha Grey (who left the porn biz altogether last year) seem to have achieved modest success through utilizing their Facebook and Twitter followings. It reminds me a bit of forthcoming iPhone rumors: “It’ll support holographs!” “It will fly!” All of that is just wishful thinking, and certain industry top dogs seem to share in that hopeful optimism. Hustler founder Larry Flynt claims that “the days of the porn superstar will return when the quality of the movies being produced are improved.” Still other big names in the adult entertainment biz see things differently. Kayden Kross, another award-winning adult entertainer, seems to have a grasp on reality: It’s interesting to see how different answers from industry executives and former performers are.
