Do 2257 regulations promote the "user uploaded" tube model?

yes they do, running a huge user submitted tube is much easier and less hassle then running something that requires you to keep docs, it is much more profitable too

here is an idea.... rather than continually expressing anxiety over things you won't change or blaming your own success or failure on external factors of which you have no control over, just work, create your own success and focus on you and the things you can control and the things you can change. when you fail... pick yourself up, place the blame on yourself, adjust and move forward and try again.

your incessant bs about tubes is ridiculous and you totally ignore the fact that a site like youporn.com does make money by directly upselling paysites. rather than embracing a model which does generate sales to paysites... you condemn it and blame it for your issues.

Most of today's porn tube sites are NOT user uploaded, so yes, they SHOULD be subjected to the same 2257 inspections that any other porn site is open to. I hope it happens soon in fact.

As far as the 2 types of people on GFY goes; there are guys who actually spend lots of time, effort, and risk, actually PRODUCING something, and we HATE the idea that this content is somehow expected to be given away for free - and then there are those who produce NOTHING and think it is fine to profit from other people's hard work.

Notice the guys who complain about tube bashing never have sigs that represent their own work? They are just users, so they can't understand how absurd the porn-for-free business model really is.

Don't worry. Things will be changing soon. One 2257 inspection can stop most of it in its tracks (for example).

I am adapting, but that doesn't mean I have to like it, and it doesn't mean I can't keep expressing my opinions on how it's a piss poor business model that is killing sales.

I wouldn't feel so bad if they were just redistributing it instead they are killing off millions to make only thousands.

BV, Listen to Pleasurepays you just aren't allowed to talk about tube sites..

This is a forum for not discussing topics related to the adult industry!

the irony of your view was that if they weren't a viable business model.. they would cease to exist. however.....

no irony, i know they make money, but the it's small in comparison to what they are destroying
