Live interaction isn't the panacea for what ails paysites.

Great unique content is much more important, and that's not easy to produce, whether it's amateur or professional. The problem now is that piracy/tubes has cut down the number of potential customers to a point where there's more risk to producing great unique content and much less potential reward.
So as I said it wasn't bringing them the increase in sales.

Did NaughtyAmerica go over the top?

However if done right, by tying it into her getting shooting work, unless the model was working 5 days a week. Could she be got cheaper. Does it have to be 10 girls big studio and 24/7?

Yes I know a studio here that tried it on a full time basis and sunk. I'm thinking maybe like everything else it might work scaled down. Will need some other ways to monetize it as well. Like 1-1 and phone sex live chat.

Great unique content is much more important.

Absoblooodylutely.

So why were so many shooting the same cheap cloned dull scenes, or could you shoot this for $500 a scene?

Yes a few were doing that and did find it worked very very well. The vast majority didn't. Explain why, when it obviously worked.

And yes agreed and said, today the traffic isn't buying enough. What ever the reason.

So you and I are on the same page with this.

So is there a panacea for what ails paysites?
