Program owners, affiliates, and everyone in between, everyone here pretends that nothing happened, but know and pretend noone noticed.
It's just not the same, some people complained about tube sites for a while, others say it's 'the next tgp', but noone admit their bottom line has been seriously affected in the last 2 years or so, it's surreal, people still say they're doing ok just to -save face-
Tgps sell spots at 4-years-ago prices, traffic brokers keep the same rates, and paysites go for the same membership prices. (content providers seem to be the only ones getting the shaft)
Everyone pretends to be in an utopian paralell reality, while we really should be scared shitless, and discussing about how to get online porn back on its track.
Am i too far off? oh is your business rocking? your program converts 1:50? Discuss.  |
the economy has changed, but it is far from dead
tv went thru the same adaption and is now more successful then before, if anything primary producers of content are making more money.
American idol gets 3 times their liciencing fees from product placement specifically becuase they know it is going to be widely distributed on the torrent sites commercial free.
live shows like american idol still have massive market share.
the shift is to pre production revenue streams, or live interaction.
Sites that let their members interact live with their models will thrive while those that don't or simply fake it will find their business model starting to shrink, suffer or completely dry up.
