Hi JT
I totally understand you won't/can't answer some/all of these questions.. Not trying to pry, I'm just a curious guy!
1. Who's the gentleman that introduced you at the beginning?
2. How did you come together with Rich and Randi and the other original Youporn crew? Were you "hired"? Were you the mastermind? How did it originate?
3. You said, "With the tube sites, when they start out, your users upload content.. ..we just knew that that business model was not sustainable, because you can't keep taking content from the content producers without giving them anything back." - During that initial time period when you were using user uploads, was there a significant percentage that were truly user-
generated? Or was it like less than 1%? what % of the uploads would you guess were copyright infringing? I'm curious, but also I ask because I'm working on a user-generated project.
4. When Youporn licensed the 5-years worth of content, how much did you guys spend on that licensing?
5. You talk about how the click-throughs/revenue actually
increased because of the addition of the age verification landing page, why is that landing page not there now? Did Mindgeek take it down when they bought it, or had you guys already taken it down before that for another reason?
6. The pay-per-scene project, which you tested on German mobile with the click-thru of 60%, is that a
separate project from cloud.xxx? Is so, can you speak more about that project and its potential upcoming use/value for content owners?
or is it indeed Cloud.xxx, which seems to be a heavy-duty tube submitter, no?
How does tube.xxx tie in, will that be what incorporates the mega-pass/pay-per-scene?
7. Why is your biggest regret not having your affiliate program invite-only? Was the open program more trouble than it was worth? What was wrong with it, other than those 1 or 2 heckler guys on here causing a fuss (that Lucas dude I think?)
Btw you guys just mailed me first reallyuseful affiliate check: $61.35
8. Fakeagent/femaleagent/publicagent aren't real? WTF??
