I'm not hurting myself. I'm retired and still taking money online. All be it smaller than it was.
If I was dictator of online porn some would be making 100 times more, some wouldn't be in the business and even Manwin would be doing a lot better.
The idea of creating a poor to medium product and giving it away for free. To create a ratio of sales that were always appalling and now a complete disaster is obviously not the way to run any industry, online of off.
Spending the levels online porn did on giving it away strapped them into a downward spiral. Only kept up by the increase in online connections. Today we see the effects.
Madalton. All you told me was people were making less shooting custom BG than we were making non exclusive solo girl.
Maybe in 1999 we should of upped ship and moved back to the UK to create a modern version of Astral Blue. Maybe we should of just created a TGP site. Problem was moving was a big risk, would of lost the revenue we had from shooting Czech girls. Opening a TGP site, yes that was a mistake.
Opening a site with Czech girls whose command of English was crap to non existent. Not a chance. Coming back today and doing it with girls like Sandra, not worth the trouble. Advising others on how to create a far better product, no they only want advice on how to get a cheaper product they can throw more traffic at.
I have spoken to many site owners who agreed with my comments on their content. They just didn't think it important enough to change, or not able to.
