you are obviously well enough to type, and you have plenty of opinions. i think your opinions are negative and sometimes wrong, but that's just my own opinion. someone else probably thinks you are spot-on. i know that guy RadicalSights is in your corner. i'm sure there are others.
there are people paid to write articles, moderate boards, build online communities, and give advice. of course no one is going to pay for someone to bitch about how the industry killed itself and there's no point starting a site, but i am sure if you found the right opportunity, you could tailor your message. you just need a positive attitude and the motivation to find the right opportunity.
one thing that seems odd to me tho - you see yourself as an expert on the Internet, although you think porn is not worth spending time and money on. do you think the same thing about mainstream? or do you think you could make a killing on that side of the wall?

Sitting here tapping away at the computer for a few hours every day, instead of GFY, might be nice.
Write articles. Maybe, maybe a blog on shooting porn. Must get the E Book finished.
Moderate boards. They're dying off and I don't suffer fools gladly.
Online community giving advice. Done that here, the problem is no one listens. Beside my belief that giving away the product is a recipe for disaster. I've given loads of advice on shooting porn and shooting porn that will sell. Problem is few will spend enough on what's inside the site. They prefer to spend 3-4 times on what's outside. Is that negative or true?
I could give your solo girls a lot of advice on how to shape themselves on their sites. Interested? As you see from the documentary I can be positive. Try me out.
I know little about "the Internet". For me it's just a delivery method for what has mostly sold offline. I know how to shoot porn that will grab a viewer, how to get girls to work properly and that if the product is right, the rest follows on a lot easier. If the product is wrong, the rest becomes harder and harder.
My negative view of online porn was only about the content, 10 years ago. Now it's about the amount of free porn distracting people from paying.
Also I get pissed off with guys like Jake.

And if you DID rush into the paysite market early on would you be better off now or worse off? More members to your paysite or less members? Making more money now or less money? Honestly..
I really believe you are just bitter because you DIDN'T hit a home run with paysites. You always bring up this ratio argument but it's completely pointless because no one controls the internet or controls how content is distributed. AND THEY CAN'T AND NEVER HAVE. If you can view it with your eyes or listen with your ears then it can be copied and given away for free. You don't like it? Then go blow up every computer with an internet connection on the planet. You act like everyone grouped together one day and decided to give some porn away for free. It was a gradual thing and that's just how the internet works man.

I've explained so many times why we never did go this route. Would you of risked a very very healthy income to gamble on something you saw many people fail at? You have to remember I was meeting sponsors at shows who couldn't pay us for exclusive, a fraction of what we were getting for non exclusive.
Guys would approach me with a sure fire way to make money. Yet they didn't have a pot to piss in. So alternative was, we give them all our content, they put it online in a site and we share the profits 50/50. The moment I said, my servers, my processing accounts they shied away. Tried it twice, either complete failures or rip offs.
No you can't regulate the content online. However if sponsors hadn't built an affiliate model that paid so much to people to load free porn onto the Internet. Do you think there would be more sold? It cost maybe as much as $10 on every join to put free porn online. And $1-$3 on the content. Go figure the damage done.
Can it be changed today?
Not the basic structure, the mold is cast. Can members retention be improved in sites? Yes in many many sites the content is vague, no personality and basically cloned. I explained how to change it in the documentary.
plsureking showed a site that displays the right way to go about it. This works for Playboy down to amateur. Porn consumers love to know a girl is real. Yet SNZY starts a thread about a social network for porn and no one wants to know about it. Just a site with only porn girls, shooters and maybe site owners chatting to consumers would be a big hit. You might hate it because it might not be for affiliates or those who can't socialise.
I'm too old to start it and won't have the time. But building a community to follow me and my exploits over the years. That I could do. Not doing anything more than just post.
