Is 2022 the lowest year it's been in a while in terms of quality of content produced?

I don't remember a time where it's been this bad

Completely Out of Production : Tickle Abuse, Czech Tickling, Tickle Intensive , Tickle Torture, + not on same level but still completely out are Hardcore Tickling (JW) , Tickle Therapy , Total Tickling

Closed Completely with inability to purchase old releases: Tickle Central

and you got a bunch of other studios barely still active, producing like 1 clip every couple of months

I cannot remember a time where it's been this bad

I mean for Tickle Abuse Czech, for the last 15 years there hasn't been a single year where they haven't produced at all, and now they are both completely out at the same time

Lord have mercy!!

On the upside this is rock bottom lol, nowhere to go but up!

On the contrary. This past year (mid-2021-present) has been the best year I've ever had in terms of sales. They basically tripled overnight and have been staying strong ever since.

Then you need to hang around here more, because every couple of months someone comes along and says the industry is "dying" because their favorite producer closed up shop.

New studios are opening all the time. Clips4Sale has thousands of them. Just because the four or five everybody pirates decided to say "fuck it, I'm out" doesn't mean the industry is "dying".

I'm sure they'd still be going strong if their efforts were profitable. How often do you buy from them?
 
Im still going strong too 10 years later!
Producers come and go and new ones pop up all the time. Clips4sale and otherwise this business is always in flux and a pandemic didnt help things.

I feel like things have been pivoting towards the Onlyfans/Patreon business model with the actual Models/Talent being the owners than centralized producers since covid. But there will always be tickling content produced as long as there is a demand for it.
 
Can't blame those who close due to piracy. The future's likely going to be in streaming services vs. buying clips.
 
I will say I miss TA bondage furniture!!! He had some cool stuff
 
I don't agree with the OP stance. Sure we lost Real Tickling, Tickle Central, Tickle Abuse and many other lesser stores over the years, but we have the Global Tickling Studio (or whatever name they're going under), Scarlett Sinns, still have Silver Cherry, Tickling in Russia, FTKL, French and UK, and a lot of lesser stores that put out quality work like American Tickling. And might I add that back in 2003 the quality of the clips was garbage compared with FTKL's HD quality clips.

Nah man from my perspective the industry had a bit of a lull right after TA stopped, but it's been basically the same as it ever was these past couple of years.

Sure we've never had a LOT of dungeon-esque producers. We've always had producers who put out no or light bondage stuff that doesn't do much for me.

But if anything there's more content being put out more than ever. Just look at the top 5 producers. 3 clips a week at the least. I'm pretty sure there were times since 1998 that there was no where near that much content being released on the regular.
 
Another possible reason, dare I say it: COVID. Globaly still coming out of various restrictions. Yes I know it's 2 years ago but some areas stil have it bad. Some producers might be limiting contact, models not wanting to do soots incase.
Just my thoughts
 
There has always been some kind of flux, not just within the tickling community, but porn in general. We become attached to producers who provide tickling material for many years, that we don't think about the inevitable: that these producers will retire, quit, or move on at some point. We can't fathom the life cycle of not just producers, but the women/models who also get into the business, then retire or move on. Piracy is probably a big reason why these producers decided to hang it up, but the tastes of people buying and streaming the videos also change, and sometimes that can't be helped. COVID is probably a close second in terms of recent developments. At the end of the day, producers look at their bottom lines and decide wether they will flourish or whether they will perish.
 
A lot of this is personal nostalgia. The same point people make about the production of music/film/tv in their heyday. I am of the time you reference in the OP, so am too susceptible to agreeing that those were the best studios at that time and to this day, but I also acknowledge I'm biased from the influence my nostalgia has on me.

There was a lot less piracy then too. The efficiency with which content can be pirated now is a big factor.

FTKL, FT, UK and others sit atop the C4S charts consistently, and more or less for good reason. Until recently I thought FTKL had lost it, sacrificing quality/intensity of tickling for production values and pretty faces/soles. I signed up to his new site, and he is very much at the top of his game with everything.

Admittedly TA has just been run into the ground in terms of its quality. Almost like whoever is running it has no concept of what 'ticklish' means.

I also think not enough credit is given to the emerging Latin studio scene. The GTKs, Ceci/Ninos Muerta de Risas etc., are still very new, and you can see them learning and improving their product each month as they figure out the diverse tastes of the community. I reckon as that group of studios comes to understand the market more, they will bolster the quality of overall offerings available. They clearly have far less overhead costs, can produce volume on demand, and with more production value added to the mix I reckon that could become a key content pillar for the industry.

But one thing's for sure, you ain't getting 2010 (or whenever you're setting your time machine to) back anytime soon.
