Let's paint a rosy future that many GFY-ers openly pray for, a world without Manwin!
It's 2 years from now: PornHub, YouPorn, Spankwire et al are all GONE. Not 'acquired' by another company but POOF! disappears. No more (Manwin) tubes. Let's even throw Brazzers and all their paysites into the mix - POOF! - gone, too. And all companies previously purchased or associated with Manwin (Playboy, Digital Playground, et al) are now owned by other companies or are 'independant' again.
Hallelujah. Let's all dance and rejoice.
But wait -
my company's revenue has NOT gone up!! In fact, it's gone DOWN. I thought with Manwin gone everything would return to the good ol' pre-tube days of 2005 and I would be as rich as Zack, Shap and all the rest who sold out to Manwin! WTF???
Oh RIGHT - it may be 2 years later but other big non-Manwin tube sites are still around, and now with Manwin gone there's a vacuum with other companies scrambling to fill it Plus a major source of my paysite traffic is now gone, too.
But hope still exists! These new companies will make tubes to fill the Manwin vacuum, new mega-paysites will pop up to replace Brazzers et al, perhaps this would affect Google, SEO and SERPS,too. So, in the end, a non-Manwin future would look pretty much.....
....like it does right now. Play on.
