I agree with what you are saying - so much of what many people here think is unique others were doing well before that.

Amateur has changed more in relationship to people's owning more advanced cameras and the ability to edit their material, the natural progression of becoming more accustomed to shooting too. It is like the difference between someone learning to use a blunderbuss back in the 1500's versus someone using a laser scoped rifle today.
Wow, that's a long time. As I only knew you from when we met I was afraid to quote an earlier date. Congrats on lasting.

You're right about what people here think is unique, the only thing I've ever seen on the Internet that was unique in porn. Was giving the product away in such vast amounts.

The editing on a computer is totally new. Before editing had to be done on a reel to reel machine and out of the scope of any amateurs budget. They sold it unedited to guys like you who edited it for them.

A laser scope rifle in the hands of someone who can barely shoot a blunderbuss is a waste. Give it to a trained sniper if you want to see it brought out to it's best.
