Some of the ideas here are a bit more cut-throat than others. I'm not trying to suggest that we try and put TGP out of business. I believe that TGPs at conception was a great marketing idea. A way for people to pool their resources together in order to make money for everyone. But some people seemed to have forgotten the whole marketing concept behind it, and many of the new TGPs may have never known what it was in the first place. The point of TGP was to whet the appetite of the surfer in order to encourage him to signup for a paysite. Now adays it seems the purpose of a TGP is to sell traffic to someone who thinks his stuff converts better than the guy before him. The gallery makers are the ones getting the shit end of the stick, are these our industry's version of migrant workers?
Also content providers, why do you want your content plastered all over ever TGP from NY to Hong Kong? I would think a model's content would be worth more if everyone hasn't already seen her goods from every angle imaginable. Maybe it's time for more strict licenses.
Everyone is thinking about next months rent check, or can I finance that new car soon? Maybe more of you should be thinking long term. Where will you be in five years with maybe a college degree and a resume full of porn references, better start looking for a good internship.
But what more can you expect from an industry full of people who were hooked on the idea of 'get rich quick'.
