Why do they keep making porn videos when they all look the same?
Watch any porn video ever made in the last 20 years and they all look the same. The same set-up, positions, etc. Why do they keep making new porn videos when in theory the Internet's great backlog of porn holds up just as well? What are the economic and business reasons to keep producing porn?
I can understand why studios make new movies and TV shows all the time. As time passes, there are shifting tastes to appeal to, new historical events to dramatize, new special effects technology to exploit, etc. A changing world brings new ideas. But porn is just fucking. How many different positions can two people assume? How many different shades of wallpaper can those bedrooms have? I think everything's been done by now.
There's a fundamental flaw with your opening gambit: porn videos don't all look the same.
Are you seriously going to run with this blinkered narrative that Legal Porno's videos look the same as Girlsway for example? Are you going to say that Mike Adriano's content looks the same as Burning Angel's scenes?
Even when you have the same studio shooting scenes on the same set, you will have a different look with your cast unless you stick to a cookie cutter auditioning process. The chemistry between performers can and often does differ considerably too so the look and feel from one scene to the next certainly doesn't look the same.
What are the economic and business reasons to keep producing porn? Paying for your house, car, family, treating yourself, paying off investors or creditors, like most business owners.
Porn is not "just fucking". Porn is also about sexual gratification for the end user and you're demonstrating a very narrow mindset assuming that there are only two people performing. It can be one to more than 10 people in a porn scene. A bedroom isn't the only scene where porn is shot and who says wallpaper is the only decor in a bedroom?
If porn looks the same to you, that says more about you, your limited viewing habits and/or your apparent disillusionment with porn than about the industry itself. I've watched porn for a very long time and there's always someone and something new to watch in my case and it certainly does not look all the same.
Studios keep making new movies because there's always a new story to tell, shifting cultural tastes to appeal to, new special effects technology to exploit, etc. Porn is just fucking. How many spins can you make on that?
^^ If you really want the 'why' then MaggieFan69 has given it. Because people buy it. When they stop paying for it, no more porn will be made. It's called market economy.
Maybe a better way to phrase the question would be "why do people keep paying for porn when it's all the same?" (it's not all the same by the way and it's not all about fucking either).

If my favorite band releases their 7th album I'm gonna buy it if it doesn't suck. Same with my favorite performers. I have nearly 200 scenes of Ashley Adams. Are some similar, sure. Do I care, hell no. I always love when some of my fave performers release new scenes. Lyra Lockhart doesn't have a ton of scenes so I will buy her content on ManyVids. So the simple answer as stated above is cuz people buy it.
Likewise, I had an amazing steak the other night. I'm not going to stop eating steak now because it's all the same, right?
When I was with my girlfriend, I had sex with her multiple times but surely just once was enough because every sexual encounter is all the same because it's just fucking, right?
^ Next steak you have you should try some variety in your eating. Maybe start eating from the center, maybe cut a big chunk and lick and suck it before chewing. Maybe just smell it for awhile. If you consume your steak in different ways it'll keep the experience fresh and new like porn. LoL. 😵

If someone is going to use that argument, then Hollywood should be out of business because they have been pretty much making the same remakes, sequels, reboots etc or so for the past decade which is why they are LOSING so much money. The economic and business reasons to keep making porn is keeping people employed and keeping the fans getting off. Porn movies don't look all the same and no-one is forcing you to watch. You could always go to a monastery and never see porn or sex used to sell anything ever again.
The notion that there's always a new story to tell in mainstream entertainment is hogwash. Mainstream movies keep recycling the same themes that have been used in storytelling for centuries.
As to what changes in porn, the performers do; obviously.

I totally agree. I can't believe movies are still around. I am not a movie person at all. The last one I saw in theaters was in 2017 and I don't watch many to begin with. TV is the same too, things from the 70s and 80s get rebooted. No one has new ideas anymore.
To honestly answer the OP, I enjoy watching the same pornstar do new scenes. On the flip side, I enjoy watching a similar scene but with different pornstars. So all these videos with minor variations don't get old for me.
