And by the way, as far as i know these girls are recruited through facebook and such, and getting paid 1000 czk for just being at party, dancing and drinking, any other activities are on their own choice (maybe they get paid for extras). And i noticed that drinking nowadays is much less than before, so it must be a factor too.
The parties got less and less real and interesting after the president's daughter thing (
http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/359957). They were already a bit shit for awhile, but I remember thinking that in 2010, and compared to now those parties were really good. PH GC07 was filming before or right after the news broke and they moved PH GC08 to the shitty studio instead of a club (PH GC01 to 07 are not bad, especially compared to the last two years). They also got rid of Dennis and a couple other aggressive strippers and replaced them with the gay dudes (not using gay derogatorily, I think at least half the strippers are actually straight for pay) they have now.
I can't really remember but before Tainster I thought Eromaxx was a bit more Euro focused instead of US focused. I wonder if that shift brought more US pornography standards in, maybe that's why the old parties are gone (or maybe it's just Tainster's shitty business practices). When PH really stared to produce good content in 2004 the Czech Republic was still recovering from the change to a market economy and I think the attitudes were more free. The outside (where the content was going) was further away in a sense so I think the girls really didn't have to think much about getting 'found out.' I have more direct knowledge of Bulgaria during the early 2000's, but there a couple bucks to the police went a long way. If a girl made a drunk mistake and complained I'm sure there was a lot more looking the other way than today.
If they continue in the current direction with PH it might be a lost cause, because at this point why bother. Maybe someone that doesn't suck will buy the company and start to at least release the good older content. Maybe they should move to Hungry, Romania, or Moldova (couldn't find any rules).
Lastly, it might just be money. I wonder what sort of profit they were making before all the free porn of the last few years. That still doesn't excuse the crap shows, especially considering they have double or triple the cameras going, double the presenters (Gina and that other chick who was a performer). If they fix the garbage product this might help on the money front, getting rid of cameras that cost money and scare amateurs (oh look, she's doing something interesting, I'm going to shove this camera in her face... fucking lame) is a place to start.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone with direct knowledge of the porn industry in Czech.
TLDR: My quarterly rant, lol.
