For years i have been an avid fan of pay vod sites like hotmovies and moviemonster...The past 1-2 years especially it just seems as though it's total garbage, rarely anything new, just ancient compilations of video that are already existent on the site in 10 other places. Does anyone have any sites that are regularly posting new content, or has the industry slowed down or wtf is going on? Anyone got feedback to give?

I'd say that porn fans can increase the number and the quality of porn movies being made by paying good porn performers and good producers for their good work. Because this will attract other people into the porn business and motivate them to produce good porn movies too.
A lot of publishers and distributors of porn are getting paid. But the amount of money trickling down to performers and producers isn't as much as it can be. And that's why people aren't making as much porn now as they did in the past.
The porn-making business model is now broken because of porn piracy and inadequate pay for porn performers and producers. Porn-fans need to find a way to pay directly to their favorite porn stars and film directors, so that they will make more of the kind of movies porn-fans want to see.
Perhaps if porn stars set up accounts for people to make anonymous donations, then porn fans can contribute directly to supporting their favorite porn stars and encouraging them to produce more porn movies.
Wikipedia, for example, is able to stay afloat on donations from people. Perhaps this funding model will work for porn too. If you cut out the middle-men, and donate directly to porn-stars, then it wouldn't take much money to pay them well, well enough to encourage the best of them to make the kind of movies porn-fans want to see.
Movie making technology is relatively cheap and easy to get now. The only stumbling block is paying the porn-stars for their work. And it's not the lack of money that's the problem. It's the lack of a good payment mechanism to pay to people who are actually putting their ass on the line to produce good porn movies.

pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world

Of course the industry has slowed down due to piracy. I don't think it's only the performers and directors, several distributors and companies have effectively disappeared.

^^ It's not just the performers who need to get paid, it's the whole industry, including the crew, the editors, the web-designers, etc.
I imagine that if bitcoin or something like it took off, a lot of the girls could make real money from anonymous "tips". Still, very few people are using electronic currency. But this is not the only way for the girls to make money. (Of course, many don't want to do cam shows, dance in strip clubs, sell their used lingerie, make private videos, or escort, but performing in porn is a good way to market yourself in the sex industry at large.)
But the camera guy isn't going to be able to sell his dirty underwear. Heck, Goodwill won't even let him give it away.

^Once upon a time I would have agreed with you that most performers preferred to stick to doing porn and stripping but I think that is no longer the case today. There is just too much money available to performers who do cam shows, sell merchandise and let's not forget escorting/prostitution. The majority of performers cannot survive by just performing in porn because there isn't enough being produced. Most need to find other means of income. Stripping is probably still a viable option for many but the kind of money performers make these days are probably significantly lower than a decade ago and there is a lot of competition from other performers and actual strippers. Cam shows can be very lucrative and doesn't require that the performer do all that much to earn money but there is even more competition in camming that in stripping so it's in many ways a less viable option. That basically leaves escorting/prostitution. In my book these are the same thing when discussing porn performers because I don't think your average guy is going to pay the rates you have to do get a performer just to go on a date. The guy pays big bucks and he expect to get his money's worth. I think performers make so much money that you now see less and less performers actually do porn because they are too busy escorting. I fear that even if the industry is able to bounce back and do business like it was 1990 . You still won't see many of the porn escorts come back. All the STI risk now in the industry makes that even more of a certainty.
