And worse of all, before you have even signed the contract you are already preparing your excuse as to why the work won't be as great as you claimed it would be because of your lack of up to date video equipment and overall poor health. You have had a long successful career but even with that you don't know everything. You really ought to be ashamed of yourself with your carrying on in this thread.
The new level is low IMO. Low in what it pays and how it operates.

And he's not really a client. He wants a one off deal so he can gain some bro points and take away the limelight from his Tubes having other people pirated content on.

As for my dated content. When was the last time up to date content paid $2,600 for one non exclusive set? Who cares if it's dated, it's about the money? Same goes for whose beter or worse. If anyone is better than me then fine. In the magazine field I was never rated as a good shooter. Middling at best. But I made money.

As for my lack of up to date equipment, that's an excellent way for Fabian to get out of it. Equipment doesn't show ability to shoot porn. He knows or should of known about my health, he also knows about what I think of him. He took up my offer.

I don't know everything. What I do know is shooting for the prices offered today isn't going to make you or any other shooter rich. Also knew that shooting exclusive was a money losing operation. Anyone who couldn't earn more non exclusive wasn'y very good at something.

And the Adult Internet is coming to a close. Not this year but it's coming to a close.

The reason is simple. Free is an cultural thing now, enforced by years of getting it for free with no come back. Added to that Tubes are a better option for more people than paying. If you haven't made your money in porn by now, you're not going to make it in the future.

Not my words, the words of one of the site owners who did make it. Posted today.
Why do I keep replying? Because trolls keep replying and so far none have shown me proof to back their words, like a login to their sites.

So far I've not seen any site that has content that would of sold to mags other than Alsscan, Hegre couldn't. Just not the poses and shots. I'm sure there is, but waiting for someone to give me a link and pass.

And yes it does matter.

Building sites with content anyone can shoot with a decent camera is the worse business model for porn online. Because the rest is even easier, put up a site, affiliate program and throw traffic at it. Conversions and retention will suck. But that's been sucking for years.

Build something every Tom Dick and Harry can't, then throw traffic at it and set yourself apart for the rest. Manwin can afford to do that, yet don't/ Fabian trolls that members want long 30 minute solo girl videos. Which is why for 50 years the industry has been shooting 20 minute scenes.

Look at the sample video to see how boring it gets. It's 5 minutes of nothing to kick it off.

So far no one has commented on his content.
