Porn is the same as it was 20 or even 30 years ago. Ever since VCRs came out. Scenes of a sexual nature people can jerk off to. The difference online made was a month's membership instead of a DVD. For $30 a buyer could get 4-6 scenes on a DVD. Online he got 20 to 1,000s of scenes. Many sites allowed members to download 1,000s in a month.

No matter what happens nothing is going to change membership sites while they stick to recorded porn. There's nowhere to go.

Webcams studios skim so much money from the models that most are now going freelance, unless unable to chat with surfers. These sites are so bad they find it hard to convert traffic. And the idea of someone with a lot of money texting via a person translating is far fetched. A person with money can now chat live with a girl one-one. The girl doesn't need affiliates, studios, webcam sites etc.

Is there an opening for something else? A Big Brother type location where surfers can see girls, the girls can talk to the camera like the participants do on BB and go into private chat?

The key is making sure the girls earn more on that site than they would be working for themselves. So no big affiliate programs paying out 30% of what she earns. Not that getting traffic would be hard. The site could sell memberships for a hi-res version.

It will cost some money and has to run 24/7. The problem is making the product good enough to get people to stay and watch it.

The problem with so many here is they have nothing to suggest and shoot down those who try to find alternatives.

Whatever happens the paysite model and studio cams are a dying model. They will decline like the DVD has.
