Summary

This quote humorously portrays the value of demand in relation to supply. It suggests that if there were an abundance of individuals seeking attention (exhibitionists) but only one person interested in consuming or observing their actions (voyeur), there would be no profitability. The quote alludes to the fact that economic success is generally driven by meeting the demand of consumers, indicating that a lack of demand renders a product, service, or in this case, an exhibition, economically unviable.
