^ First of all, because that's what you could make before you take any expenses into account. A lot of that money goes to tax, insurance, testing, wardrobe, etc. Second of all, because like she says, maybe 5% of performers make that type of money outside of their first couple months. You basically have to be shooting 2-3 times a week consistently to be pulling in that much, and the vast majority of performers aren't shooting that often.

i completely agree with all of this lol. and she really comes off as a disingenuous tryhard in these videos. from the whole "gamer girl" shtick to copying all of jenna marbles' & lia's mannerisms (kinda disturbing tbh) to her saying she has ptsd from porn but thats literally the only thing she makes vids about like.. what? lol
I wouldn't say a month or two, but I would argue that more than half the women that shoot porn scenes end up out the business within six months of their first scene.
Watched the video today. Basically she just wasn't feeling porn anymore, it was no longer fun for her, wasn't as lucrative as she thought it would be and she's in love with a guy. In my opinion the most important thing out of all of that is that she just does not enjoy porn anymore. Why would anyone do work that you don't like when you can financially afford not to? I wouldn't. I think that she's absolutely gorgeous. I'm aroused when watching and listening to her talk via non x-rated media while she's fully clothed. She's a smart girl and I'm always attracted to intellectual women. There have been very few girls in the industry (past & present) who I truly believe were "born for porn". Their hyper sexuality practically jumps off of the screen and slaps you in the face. You get the vibe that they really enjoy being naked in a room full of people. They're addicted to sexual pleasure, their skills at getting other people off are ridiculously powerful and they genuinely want the world to see all of it. The "born for porn" girl feels at home doing the most ridiculous shit that the law allows on camera and getting paid for it is just an extra bonus. I'm convinced that Veronica (or Paige) is not that girl. Even if only on a subconscious level I'm sure that she knew way before she actually quit that "Veronica Vain" had to go. All that other stuff; her examples of shit that happened to her during "work" was just nudges from the universe pushing her to where she is now for her own sake. Hopefully she's happy.
^^Of course, but that doesn't dismiss actual inside the industry experience.

yeah but isnt that super fake? she hates the industry and supposedly has ptsd from it but still constantly talks about it in an attempt to monetize it? which shes doing a shit job at btw since yt isnt running ads on any of her videos. mostly likely since she has porn, escort, etc in her titles/tags lol
She said in her interview with woodman she done golden shower in a scene where she let some body pee in her mouth during a shower.does any body know what scene
She's not back but she has hit rock bottom; broke up with her boyfriend and moved in with her mom. She's now trying to become a gaming youtuber while sprinkling in vids about her experiences in porn. Remains to be seen what will happen now.
i am really disappointed to know that she will never come back... its a fact that she is also a human and has emotions but when it comes to porn we act like animals ... we have to see our favorite no matter what she is feeling... i want to let veronica know that u are a fabulous talen in porn and people accross the globe like u... i have no words but to say "i love u veronica!!"
Yeah she's going through some shit. She implied in one of her videos that she may have burned some bridges the way that she left the industry. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for her to come back to porn unless she decides to go the cam route or build her own adult website.
^Yeah. She badmouthed Manuel Ferrara in the comments section of her most popular youtube video. That isn't going to help her if she wants to return to the industry.

are you sure?i think she never mentioned manuel name,in fact no name at all!
I like her and she is a good looking woman but her I'm going to change the the world of porn was never going to happen and it was almost inevitable that this was going to be the outcome
^^^Yes, she mentioned Manuel in response to a Youtube video. Check out the September 30, 2016 comment by Quorrl to this thread for the specific statement. You can read the Youtube comment she made yourself if you want to scroll thru 800 plus comments that have been made on this video. It will be towards the end of the comment thread.
^That's not the comment I'm referring. She made comments a few times in that thread where she mentioned Manuel's name. I stated that she badmouthed him in her comments which she did. See screenshot below of the specific comment she made.

ok,maybe i'm looking at the wrong video,thank you for sharing!
^It's the same video. You didn't scroll down far enough. She stated he wasn't the guy she was referring to in her video but she did badmouth him in that same thread. See screenshot which includes the comment you provided plus her previous comment which is what I'm referring to. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljBZ0_iNqrs&t=128s

I watched one of her videos on youtube and was pleasantly surprised to find myself entertained by it. It wasn't the greatest video ever, but I think she has some talent. I do think she'll run into a wall with the ex-pornstar niche because you can only talk about that shit so much.
I just went to that website. The release date is December 26, 2016. The scene is entitled "Veronica Vain (The Wall Street Intern) First DP Ever!" Performers will sometimes film a lot of content prior to launching a website. I wonder if this was filmed prior to her June 2016 retirement announcement or after (recently).

I think we need some quality minds that can change the world of porn. To me the two big changes are 1) How you represent the actual grey scaled sexual spectrum(hint it's not by segregating homo and heterosexual sex) and 2) Coming up with a post DVD biz model that accepts tube sites and torrents and positively adapts to them. The main idea I have essentially comes down to a definitive tube site(which may or may not be PH) which creates a sophisticated fan-performer/producer tipping tribute system. If you do it right then performers and producers could both get something as close to performing and producing royalties as possible. While it was not VV there does need to be someone like this and it could potentially be a performer.

As to the guy who turned her off, I think I can decipher who it is. He does seem to be pretty popular among the ladies for the most part.
I dunno but I consider Veronica a very charming creature. She is very pretty, she is smart, creative, emotional, honest, expressive and quite funny. I find her videos in Youtube quite entertaining and enlightening and I would really like to read her opinion about many subjects concerning the adult industry and not only. PS. It seems they didnt break up with Cody and she fixed her Twitter bug but then it broke again (something is wrong with her account, like it is permanently hacked or something). Meanwhile...

Manuel lays into her pretty good on his latest Twitch video about an hour in. Destroyed her pretty much.

I watched that. He kind of bashed her a little bit, but I didn't think it was that bad. I think he's right though that she left porn because porn didn't want her, more or less. She was a pretty good performer, but there's just so much competition with new girls constantly entering the industry. I mean, I'm sure she could still get work, but the phone probably wasn't ringing quite so much and presumably she wasn't too interested in doing anal scenes and what not, so she just moved on with her life.
^^ On twitch there's a chatroom and someone asked him what he thought of Veronica Vain. Considering Veronica called him an "entitled piece of shit immature uneducated slimeball" I could see why he might feel free to sound off. It takes two to tango after all...

So according to you and Manny porn didn't want Veronica Vain but it does want him? I own every solo and g/g video staring Veronica. I've purposefully joined the websites with her scenes and paid for these videos. I don't have any videos with Manuel Ferrara in them (I don't even have the desire to watch his stuff for free). Obviously he has his fans/supporters so I'm not saying that you're wrong. It just confuses me how male-centric the porn industry is. "Twist Your Head Around; It's All Around You"
