Absolute bullshit. What you should say is many people will not be able to pay an inflated price for a product and service that is not worth it.

It's a great model, we made it a bad model. Why we made it bad and how we make it good is the question.

How do you know it's user generated if you don't monitor it? How do you know it's not underage performers if you don't monitor it? How do you stop someone suing you for putting up content they do not own, all be it amateur, if you don't monitor it?

Anyone can bring you down in days. Film a 16 year old, made up to look like a 21 year old and put it up. Legal to do that in some countries, illegal to pay her or get a model release. Then inform the police in your town you are a child pornographer. I would not do it, but sure some guy in Russia would for a $100. Why bother with a DOS attack?

Putting your business into the hands of anyone who decides to upload and what ever they choose plus relying on amateurs to keep supplying content is about the dumbest move ever.

Not everyone runs "PRO" style paysites.
That goes for you as well.
