Do you actually read industry related articles? - GoFuckYourself.com

Tala · 05-27-2004, 02:27 PM

Do you skim them? Ignore them altogether? Read them thoroughly?

Are they really worth the time and effort to read these days? Should I find a new line of work?

bluedevil · 05-27-2004, 02:28 PM

Every chance i get, it really helps some times

jt420 · 05-27-2004, 02:28 PM

sure its an ever changing industry and its always good to get someone elses view.

bringer · 05-27-2004, 02:29 PM

AMADude · 05-27-2004, 02:29 PM

It depends what is in the article.

DreamCumTrue · 05-27-2004, 02:29 PM

aaron · 05-27-2004, 02:29 PM

polish_aristocrat · 05-27-2004, 02:30 PM

I used to read articles on xbiz.com and pornresource.com but now i don't do it anymore, GFY is my only source of information about this bizz

Aquarius · 05-27-2004, 02:30 PM

Yes, I do. Some of them are really interesting.

Sexy Rex · 05-27-2004, 02:30 PM

I do.

Corleone · 05-27-2004, 02:31 PM

yes... xbiz is my startpage for the articles

abyss_al · 05-27-2004, 02:32 PM

Shooter · 05-27-2004, 02:33 PM

Yeh, every once in a while I'll sit and just read industry articles for a couple of hours.

Tofu · 05-27-2004, 02:42 PM

Its good to be in the know. I find KLIXX magazine to be very helpful...

C_U_Next_Tuesday · 05-27-2004, 02:44 PM

depends on the article, but I do read industry news as much as world news.

Tala · 05-27-2004, 02:49 PM

Thanks for the feedback, folks.

stephanie m. · 05-27-2004, 02:50 PM

I try to read as many as possible.

titmowse · 05-27-2004, 03:17 PM

Yes. I read them ;)

torrey · 05-27-2004, 03:21 PM

SleazyDream · 05-27-2004, 03:22 PM

TheFrog · 05-27-2004, 04:06 PM

Yeah, I read anything that comes my way. It cant hurt to look at the industry from as many perspectives as possible.

I'm a skimmer.. 90% of the time its rehashing shit I know.

merlin77 · 05-27-2004, 04:23 PM

Yeah, I usually try and read any articles that I can. I find that there are alot of useful tips out there, mind you you have to skim past alot of blabbering to get to it, but it is usually worth it in the end.

clickhappy · 05-27-2004, 04:25 PM

I ignore them. It's usually a bunch of shit about how to optimize your files and directories and blah blah blah.

Me too.

I write a few about content in the hope it will bring some enlightenment.

Reading some has taught me a lot.

jact · 05-27-2004, 10:15 PM

Honestly, I'm far too busy to slow down to read an article that might slant my thinking about something new.. Posting is bad enough

Mr. Marks · 05-27-2004, 10:26 PM

It really depends on the topic. Some are really useful and others are just spam.

Mr Pheer · 05-27-2004, 10:27 PM

I rarely read any of it. Since I do mostly search engine listings and I make my own pages, industry stuff just doesnt concern me. As long as sponsors are buying signups, thats all I care about.

Same thing goes for conventions. I dont go to them because I only do business with 2 or 3 companies, I have their owners or other top contacts on ICQ. I dont trade links, build galleries, none of that stuff. I'm not attracted to content girls or porn stars, and I dont drink or party, so the conventions just dont hold much interest for me.
