 How to Save Porn!
or, Why is there no good porn?
...If there's a media monopoly anywhere, it's in sex films, and they're uniformly awful.
This is because, to a nauseating degree, commercialism has trumped art in all of the Western media, to art's great detriment. In film and music both the quality and quantity of new works coming from the major producers have declined inexorably and steadily for decades. This is a market-driven phenomenon: Shareholders of mega-media companies demand steady earnings growth and high ROI, which requires these companies to be risk-averse, and to use advertising, big names, and tried-and-true success formulas, and to issue less, and a less courageous, product...
A similar phenomenon seems to exist in the so-called "adult film" industry, where a small group of companies dominate production, distribution, and adult film channel ownership...

At the risk of prematurely forming an opinion, the main reason none of the major porn producers are interested in changing the quality of their movies is, as you put, "market oriented:" the people who regularly consum porn just want something to whack off to, not well-told stories they have to fast forward through. Still, if someone would bother to do something that would improve on the current canon (Deep Throat, Behind the Green Door), hey, more power to them.
