Loads in online pointed fingers at offline porn and said they didn't understand online porn or couldn't crack it. Well they were wrong, a lot did understand online porn.
They were worried giving their offline product away online would harm sales. Someone once posted he tried to promote Viv Thomas's site and Viv wouldn't give him enough content to spread around for free. Think of it from Viv's POV. Would he risk giving away his product for free if it could hurt his sales?
The same applied for many of the others. They knew what was happening, they chose not to get involved. The "knowledge" could of been hired for very little. Some did and did well. Most didn't.
What was wrong was online porn refusing to hire or team up with great shooters and create great sites. Did any of the companies who apparently were making millions every week, approach shooters who could of set their product above the reach of 100s of others?
A few approached me with offers they thought I would jump at. Not knowing I would turn them down in an instant. So forget about approaching great shooters.
If you want a great Gonzo site, approach Ben Dover, Buttman or some other good Gonzo shooter. Preferably a few of them so the site doesn't get repetitive.
If you want a great glamor site like Twistys or Only Tease, approach a great glamor shooter like Viv Thomas or Micheal Ancher.
Same goes for many niches.
So why didn't they? Once inside it was clear the content was no where near Evil Angel, Ben Dover, Playboy, Penthouse or Mayfair standard.
Did it make any difference to the sites turnover? Yes, because retention was shortened. Members aeres simply didn't stand out.
Could they of afforded this level of shooter? That's a good question.
Joking aside and no trolls please. What would it cost to employ a shooter at the top or near that level?
So does it matter if I'm a great shooter, average shooter or as bad as the worse guy to ever pick up a camera? Not an iota. We sold our content for prices online shooters dream about, not site owners, and site owners missed out on selling content offline.
This is of course in the past, the business has now shrunk now to a level where loads of shooters will work for anything going. If they are still in the business.
