The current porn / escort scene isn't the same as the 2000s

Back in the late 2000s, it was a magical time.
The internet was a thing, but hadn't really taken off yet. You could watch dvds of your favorite pornstars, and half the time call them up for some time directly if they were in your city.
The recession was going on, so rates were fairly decent, and not many people knew about the game yet so there was less competition and demand.
I was a fan of black pornstars since they were usually around 300-500 a pop, was able to see many of the original stars.
Most memorable was Chyanne Jacobs at around 300 and she was a big name, but this was back in the day.
Nowadays, most of the stars are inaccessible as they're spread out all over the world and rates are around $2k a which are just unreasonable.
There's no charm or allure to seeing a star, as its either so much effort or cost, its takes the joy out of it. Not the same as seeing a mid level pornstar in a dusty hotel because you made a few random calls earlier in the afternoon.
Porn itself has lost its charm over the last 2 decades, and I'm afraid it'll never be the same again.
