One time announcement: Leaving the industry - GoFuckYourself.com

Libertine · 02-14-2004, 03:59 AM

I've been working with online porn for almost 6 years now, and it's been a fun time. However, I'm now at the point where porn is starting to get in the way of my other endeavors, with regards to both time and association.

Simply put, I was forced to decide between spending my life reading 1000-page books, writing tons upon tons of essays, papers, etc and having seemingly endless discussions about minor details with dull old professors, or making craploads of money for looking at hot naked chicks all day. The choice was obvious

So, bye all.

And cheers

CyberTraffic · 02-14-2004, 04:00 AM

Gonna unload your stuff? How much if so?

EDIT: Sorry for the rushed post. I don't understand your post; have you recieved a degree?

If so, congratufukinlations.

Libertine · 02-14-2004, 04:05 AM

Not gonna sell anything. Most of my sites don't really require maintenance, so I'm just gonna stop spending time on porn. If all goes well, the income will only slowly drop, and it'll take quite some time before it stops altogether.

fully-functioning brain. They're few and far between.

In a few months, you will come back to online porn - as a surfer

Libertine · 02-14-2004, 07:20 AM

Thanks to those who replied.

I won't be back though, studying philosophy, writing and some activist projects take up way too much of my time. Even though the money from porn is nice - or rather, extremely, very, ridiculously fucking nice - some things are simply more important than money.
One only lives once, might as well make the most of it

wyldblyss · 02-14-2004, 07:21 AM

Porn will always be here if you every want to come back...but I think you are making the right decision. Good luck!

I always have respect for people that can walk away from money because of principles, but I'll never be able to do that (or I just haven't found the right reasons yet). And I wonder what activist projects you are talking about? But: good for you, I hope you'll never regret it!

other than bars and restaurants, philosophy shops have the worst failure rate of all small businesses, most fail in their first 6 months.

Just principles wouldn't do it for me either. It's more about doing what I love, working with the things that really interest me.

The activist projects are mainly critiques of mass consumption and the stranglehold of commercial mass media on democracy. Also some other stuff, but I can't really get into that now.

When you do what you love, money doesnt mather I think.

The activist projects sound like some heavy stuff! Interesting!

Punkworld, your thoughts remind me of the Chicago 10 and alot of guys I new in my hippy days Abbey Hoffman, Tom Hayden, etc...

They all said they would never go with the establishment and the money

In the end they all left the idealism behind and became businessmen and congressmen and WENT FOR THE MONEY!!!

In the end you will get tired of the mainstream and theoretical
philosophical bullshit and come back where you belong, with us pimps and whores who like money, houses cars, naked women, stripclubs, wild parties, young pussy and lot's of drinks!!

Good luck til you come back though

Abbey Hoffman never lost his idealism, he never sold out. I believe he committed suicide because he got so depressed that the rest of his generation, the Rubins and Haydens, sold out.

sold out=wised up
you can be stupid in your youth but its a real killer once you grow up.

Libertine · 02-14-2004, 09:31 AM

One of the reasons I'll really miss GFY is that there are so many wondrous ideas here.

For instance, a while ago tons of newbies were saying that there's no more money in porn. Now, it seems a bunch of veterans are thinking that there's no money outside of porn

Seriously, leaving the industry does not mean living in poverty, nor does activism mean becoming a broke hippie.

This veteran thinks no one leaves good money for bad. they just quit pretending.

Word up dude. I've been reading a ton of books lately on those that subject. Here two off the top of my head I bet you have heard of them : "no logo" "jihad vs mcworld". I almost wanted to quit my job and become a gypsy... take care.
