Some are right, there were things about online porn I didn't understand.
1. Non exclusive content is saturated. This was the biggest one. So if it was saturated, it meant that it was inside 100s of members areas. Or that a site had started up with some cheap saturated content and never added to it. Like the Z Masters stuff on disc. Which was idiocy by the site owners who did this.
But if it was saturated, why were custom shooters shooting a set and a video exclusive for $300? That's like 6 sales at $60. If you can only sell solo girl content 6 times, you weren't very good. Even $700 a scene is only 13 sales and over the life time of a scene getting 13 sales is easy. Well we were experiencing this. All this is without offline sales which beats online prices into a cocked hat.
Can anyone explain it to me and not because today shooters have no options. a few years ago they did.
2. Try getting sales on a site with no traffic. Often from a guy submitting galleries (content) to a TGP site, with other galleries (content) on. Then sending that traffic to a paysite (content) to earn money.
Did they mean, we rule the traffic and you play or game of fuck you?
3. The general lack of respect shown to customers. If customers had been treated as well as affiliates, we would all be earning money. Never could understand why people were happy ripping them off. Not just crooked sponsors, affiliates sent them traffic. And there's other examples of treating customers badly.
4. How people can make this type of statement.

Who should care what Shap got for his business? Everyone because it's an indication of how the industry is fairing.
Who gives a fuck what Manwin is worth? See above.
This is my business. And seeing it self destruct isn't pleasant. How well is our business doing? Well 3 years after the effective closing of the business, our sites are still open and we're still taking money. We couldn't of worked for at least a year. the best part of 6 months Eva was in hospital or in a plastic corset to support her spine. Then I had cancer diagnosed and for the next 9 months was under very intense treatment. Then I was unable to eat solids and fed myself via a tube. It was a year before I was able to really look after myself.
I did a shoot 2 months ago and it took so much out of me, I knew those days are over for me. Not physically able to shoot. Mentally I'm fine.
Yes the sites are still open and still taking money. So I guess our business all things considered are doing a lot better than others would be. Who here could take 3 years out of work and still have an income from what they did 20 years ago.
So I guess for a decrepit moronn, I've done a lot better than some of the bright people here.
5. How can someone less bright than a decrepit moron, be in this business?
