The content guys all jumped on me when I said that self-shot stuff was becoming a bigger and bigger threat. My argument was that anyone can get a pretty good HD camera that makes HQ videos that look great on the web for $150.

They argued with me and I didn't have a comeback.

The other day I figured out the comeback...the success of Dare Dorm and Haze Him (both converting at better than 1:100 for me and many others) is proof that consumers don't care about perfect videos.

Models and fulfilled fantasies are what sell. While members may appreciate great video with awesome lighting, it is by no means a requirement of success.

I can't blame them for being upset with me. I'd get upset if people said my livelihood was threatened, too.
