I'm not at this show but I was at Internext 2009 and of COURSE it was smaller. Here's just a few reasons why:
- Business sucks
- 5-10 years go commercial porn on the Internet was still new and easy
- Illegal tube sites
- Scams, scams, scams.
- Too-high-to-afford affiliate payouts + Pre-check strangeness + fraud = death of many programs
- Too many shows (Wasn't there 15 shows or more a year at one time?)
- Hotels, Food, Drinks, too expensive.
- Too many websites giving away too much stuff for free.
- People who rip-off Expo's by attending shows but don't buy badges
- Etc, etc, etc...
People shouldn't knock AVN/Internext for decreased attendance. There's alot of work that go into them to make sure that every attendee is happy. If you want proof, look for the show owner and tell me he's not stressed out and running around working his ass off for you. If attendance is down at any show, the problem is not necessary with the show itself. Ease up!
