I am the last one to say that the way we monetize our sites is perfect, but it is far better than you think it is.
Thanks for the real discussion btw.

Oh, I'm sure you make more money on your Streamate White Label in a month than I make in a year. But you know what I'm saying.
Pornhub and all of your tube sites have missed the boat on paysite sales and optimizing individual pages to specific paysites.
Saying that you are making great money with a rumored 10 million uniques a day is a given.
But I made a LOT of money on my TGP's with 1.2 million uniques a day a few years back. I know things are different now because of sites like Pornhub giving away full scenes.
BUT...if you took the bull by the horns you could turn that thing around.
Stop the user-upload. Continue on with full scenes, but NOT the newest full scenes from a site's members area. Let that be the value of the membership.
You would still have a site full of free porn, 10 million people coming there, and your pre-paid ads and whitelabel and "premium" all in place.
But the difference is...no more DMCA to fuck with, extra revenue coming in, a place at the table in this industry instead of being one of the most hated, and one less legal problem (copyright and trademark infringements) to deal with.
Fabian, I've had video clips on my free sites for years. And tube sites for 3 years. I've never had one DMCA notice. I run my site. Nothing is going up that I don't do myself.
I understand the DMCA law...but it doesn't apply unless you are in that user upload game. And that just isn't necessary. There is a better way.
