I work in adult entertainment and recently attended a huge adult convention. Well, huge in physical size (for two reasons, keep reading). And vastly deserted as far as attendees.

The event itself hosts hundreds of porn stars, but this year, 90% were cam stars and virtually unknown, making BANK from camming. Meanwhile, famous Vivid chicks were standing by the wall (visual irony). The majority of men in attendance were there virtually, via the cam booths.

Now, the event does have touring talent but it also features local celebrity acts. I am in a very progressive city. Thus, there were literally tons of "body positive" i.e. green arm hair and 300lb "stars," who basically drove casuals out. You got some dude trying to hit on Malena Morgan for a $25 selfie, and then a panel of fat girls screaming about feminism drowning it out.

Vendors left with crates of dildos. Hot stars no-showed the second day. Men were given dirty looks by the hoards of smoking feminists outside the front door and the 19 year old cam girls were glued to their laptop the whole time.

SMV is so overbought right now, it's worth shorting the market.
