alrighty, so I am getting back into the porn thing and I have to say I am extremely disappointed...I just launched another legal tube site(it's a bit of a twist,if your curious it's in my sig)...but I was going to some tube listing sites and found this site: e p o r n e r dot com(i'm not going to link it here)...the quality of the videos is great. There really isn't a reason why anyone would want to join a paysite anymore...why? because here is what you offer:porn videos...maybe you update 5 times a day(that's only the best ones)....what does a tube site offer: porn videos....and they update more than that....and now their quality is starting to match what you offer.
I don't want this to be another "tubes suck" post...I am pissed at the lack of effort and vision from adult companies.To me it doesn't seem like that hard of an equation:
1.PROTECT YOUR FUCKING CONTENT. I am no expert on this, but there has to be ways of doing this that doesn't piss off your members..I will even give a way of doing it with flash(I am not suggesting that this is a solution--more of a "brainstorming" idea on something that does work to possibly lead to something else)...if you offered your movies as swf files with the flv file embedded in it...and maybe even your own swf player...you can put actionscript code that makes the videos only playable in that player...it's not complicated coding....yes I know there are always ways around everything..but you can do a ton of stuff that would make posting your content online a pain in the ass.
2. START GETTING A BIT MORE ORIGINAL AND START OFFERING A MORE COMPLETE EXPERIENCE:porn seems to be all the same now. Companies keep launching new sites and putting out more content...it's all the same fucking thing. I really liked that the sexsearch guys did a direct your own porn movie at orgasm.com..I thought the actual product was stupid...but that fact that they were doing something unique and innovative was cool...I don't see anything unique or innovative going on at any big paysite these days...they just keep pumping out the same sites and wondering why conversions suck. If I can go see full length movies in high quality at a tube site...and it updates all the fucking time...what are you offering??? the exact same thing, except you update less and I have to pay for it.
my whole point of this post was I see a ton of bitching, but every big paysite's answer to the problem is "lets do more"...more of the fucking same...it doesn't make any sense
it is seeming to me that alot of the big players are just people that got in early...so now they are considered the "big guys"....but in fact they are just people that aren't that innovative and don't have a ton of biz sense....they were just at the right place at the right time
