The game has changed and you have done nothing
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

The problem is... this business is full of idiots, you cant talk sense into these people. And you damn sure cant get them to work together.
Not that I care, I do my own thing and I do it by myself. |

I've run out of breath preaching this, and up till recently got the "must give the customer what he wants and that is unlimited downloading and the ability to keep the content" finally in the last 6 to 8 months people are finally starting to have it sink in lol
Imagine if you went to a peep show and were able to put in a dollar and watch the show for an endless amount of time... If adult would get back to the peepshow biz model profits would go through the roof, however it will never happen unless the gov steps in and stops all free porn. Too many people will just use the one up theory and try to give away more than the next guy to get traffic. |

I really don't want my post directed at "everyone" in adult...in every biz their are a ton of dumbshits and scammers...what I am pissed about is the big players lame answer to the current situation...I have said this before and will say again...when I started doing adult(had a day job and was just doing little stuff)...the adult biz was touted as the innovator....now it's not.....not at all...

It's not like this is an unprecedented problem - there is a clear history and remedy here if you look at what happened with napster and the RIAA. Who would have predicted the success of itunes during the napster rage just a few years ago. The big boys in this biz need to spend more on lawyers and less on Ferraris.

...not about that...I say every big company should have a tube, that's what's out there and they have to compete....but for them to still offer the same product is FUCKING INSANE

I glanced at your wall of text and decided you're an idiot.

so you are saying "I saw some words...did not read them...but have come to the conclusion by the fact that there were a bunch of words..you must be an idiot because you write with words?"
hmmm, not sure how to respond to that, but have a very nice day

Maybe some sponsors look at tube sites as a form of free advertising. Affiliate sales are down, but how about type-ins? For all we know, they could be way up.

content publishers just need to stop giving out long clips - we all need to get together and say no more clips go out (I'm speaking about new content) longer than one minute in duration. No more feature length promos - with only short clips on all the tubes, people will start paying, people want duration and quality.

here would be just a tiny example of what paysites could offer(again this is just a brainstorm)...musician sites and dvd's offer you the option of viewing the scene from different angels and slowing the video down...why aren't porn sites offering this? tubes aren't going anywhere. and I see the "adapt or die" mantra everywhere...I don't see it as anything more than paysites having to offer a better product....but, for some odd reason...they don't want to do that

but they don't offer the exact same product. you can't download and *keep* tube content, not without giving contact info which opens you up for more upsells. just because you don't understand someone's strategy does not make it unsound. porn will not go away don't you worry about that..

How come no responses regarding the protecting your videos comment he made? There has been no talks on that and nobody seems to address the area.
I think if people start simply addressing that area, there goes a big portion of the problem out there no? Yet people keep dancing around that in their responses. And keep saying, offer better quality stuff. Yes that is one thing everyone should be doing anyway. But protecting your content should be #1. Why don't I see threads on this? Am I missing something? |

But I read your first 2 lines... yes... protect by not allowing to download. Flash works pretty good for me... And pretty effective... actually dating site that actually gave reall hookups would likely to REALLY REALLY well in this market... "i read the next couple lines" |

I think tubes will go two ways they will either die out like tgps and mpgs are doing now or they will become better and a lot more interactive or something else will come along and make the tube sites obsolete. We will just have to wait and see or be inovative and come up with something better ourselves. |
