Well, this is another one of those situations.

I know what gleem wants and so does he. He is a pioneer of this specific niche and you..well, you are a pioneer based on age alone. ;) Seriously though, you have no clue WTF you are talking about in regards to what gleem wants/needs and even if you did, HE is the client and HE dictates what should and should not be in the shoots, not you.

Now I'll go read the rest of your post...
One I first came here I remember people producing content that was crap. Most of them have gone, even lots who told me to STFU. Seems their content was not so great. Those that stayed had to improve the quality of what they shot or they would of gone as well. The proof of what I know is down to whether our sites are still up, making money, and whether I'm scraping around shooting solo girl scenes for $300 to $500. Not bad for a guy who does not know shit about how it worked on the Net.

The only person who decides on whether sites make money are members. Not affiliates, not sponsors and to be sure not content providers. Today memberships are falling and it's certainly not because members areas are keeping them enthralled.

I've never claimed to be a pioneer. But I've made more money then most of the content providers here. Enough to sit back and retire while people run around taking jobs at prices I laugh at. Even while the Adult Net was in in it boom time. Most exclusive shooters, including you, were shooting for peanuts. Getting $100s for a set and video while I was getting $1,000s for just a set. Which I still own and still make money from. Custom shooters own nothing once they've sold the scene once.

I know the market has changed. But because I was such a know nothing I made enough money to sit back and watch you clever guys scrape around for $100s for a scene. So glad I was not as clever as you guys.
