The death of SPONSORS! How it will happen.

I quit taking my "meds" for a few days so I could transform into NegroDamus.

As in previous threads (https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=278558) NegroDamus
is now taking over to post the future for you, once again.


NegroDamus :

The death of sponsors is already here but it will go even further.
But unlike my previous sky-falling predictions, this prediction is quite simple
because it only involves a couple of elements.

So how will a sponsor die!

Plain and Simple :

1. No hosted galleries
2. No hosted flv

THE END!


--- Explained :

There are not going to be very many affiliates that can compete by going to your
webmaster area and downloading clips/picture to upload onto their site.

Sorry, but that is just stupid these days.

Who is going to build a legit tube with 25k videos by downloading then uploading
25k videos?

Answer : Only an idiot would.


I don't download content, I crawl your content for content!

I crawl your hosted galleries for pics and videos.
I get the crawl data from the sponsors with decent gallery dumps.

Crappy gallery/hosted flv dumps = No Link from me

I don't have time to mess around with it. It either works or I go to the next
sponsor.

Yes, there will always be some webmasters that still download content to
make a gallery because they always get listed on thehun. But not noobs.
Without noobs there is no growth!
Without growth there is only shrinkage in the business world.

-- Hosted content : More now that ever, you either have it or you are through.

-- Hosted flvs are going to be the winner over time.

-- Hosted video galleries are a great content crawl

-- Hosted picture galleries should never go away.

(http://blackmonsters.com/photogalleries.shtml)
Click text for original gallery or click photo for gallery viewer and click
"load viewer" to cache a gallery that is not on my server.


The affiliate model is not dead.
The process by which affiliates will survive has only changed.

I've complained about poor gallery/flv dumps for years so sponsors have had
years to make a decent one.

I don't complain anymore to sponsors, I just sign up to the next guy.

One sponsor just asked that everyone submit photo ID before accessing
the webmaster content. I'm not going to do that, it's too easy to signup at
another sponsor and be done with it.

They are holding my money and I don' have their IDs; but they want my ID to
hold some videos.

And last but not least :

Members area :

Some suck worst than my tube in video quality.

Still using the JW player?

Put one of you own video URls on this link :

http://slomoplayer.com/cgi-bin/slomo..._Kalina_04.flv

Don't just watch it, use every function/button on the player.

Still using the JW player?


Why?
