We had nothing but exclusive content (shot to our demanding specifications) for 20+ years.

Unfortunately, the membership site fallout was obvious when YT and other sites and hubs became overloaded with tons of stolen content in our relatively-small niche. We did the best we could to issue takedowns for our material, but there was an enormous amount of content from sites that went defunct and there was no one to police their content's use.

It became cataclysmic when people were not only able to join OF and similar sites, but form "relationships" with the models who did free live shows and posted tons of free promo content on the socials. If they didn't join the models' sites, there was still more than enough free stuff available for them to dump their site memberships.

That may not have been the case for larger mainstream operators, but for small ones in very narrow fetish niches, the impact was devastating.

Time marches on...
