    Want to get a glimpse of what we are up against when it comes to Free Porn? Check this out

    The explosion of free porn has hurt all of us. There is no question about that. The big question is where do we go from here? I think when fighting this problem (or any problem) it's important to know what the opposition is up to and thinking. If you have the time check out this link.

    Michael showed me this article this morning. At first I read it and thought so what. Then he told me to read the comments. Check them out. This is what we are up against

    Astonishingly enough, I am still at the 'so what' stage.

    Congrad's on having one of your Twistys images on the Today Show today.

    Sorry guys, the pee is already in the pool. The only way you're changing things is to have a redo of the internet.

      Sadly many of the things they say are correct. But one thing that really sucks is that many of them think the tube sites produce the porn and give it away for free.

            They got a crystal clear shot of it too! Good thing your watermark wasn't in the lower left or right corner. :P

            Did they pay to show that image?

              Shap, not at all busting balls here..

              but these are customers. Surely they're not the only 5 people on the internet who think the same way about pricing structures, content quantity and quality.. etc, otherwise the market wouldn't be acting like it does today.

              To me, responding to the market(and no, I don't mean launching a tube site) seems more logical than fighting demand.

              $5 membership x 1000 is more $ than a $25 membership x 100.

                It was amazing. The segment was on the prostitute who was with Charlie Sheen in his New York hotel room when he destroyed it.
                Her name is Christina Walsh and the Today Show displayed a non nude photo of her. In the upper left hand corner it stated "Twistys.com".
                Obviously you have her featured on your website.

                Congratulations.

                    the smart guy was the guy who nailed the biggest enemy and it isn't the tubes - it's direct downloads via thousands of forums and blogs filled with links to the exploding file hosting scene, Rapidshare, Hotfile, Megaupload,Fileserver et al

                    Tube sites grabbed millions and millions of freeloading surfers from TGP/MGP's, surfers happy with instantly streamed poor quality Flash videos. The direct downloaders are............were..... our best customers. The savvy porn connoisseurs who want premium quality content in their favorite niche(s). They now can get it all almost as instantly and in the quality they'd get from a members area, close to the same quality they'd get from a DVD, with the help of Google, Filestube which will soon have 50 copycats, and all those forums and blogs. They are the final nails in our coffin. The DMCA fully protects the file hosting operators and the forum owners.

                    we're fucked.
                    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                        With most young people, there's definitely a basic lack of understanding of how a goods and services economy works. Also, who the fuck do they think is going to keep making the porn they love to watch for free, when those producers don't get paid for their work? It's idiocy.

                        I think anyone that hasn't created anything in their life would have this stupid attitude.

                          the opposition = 99% of internet users.

                          emotional responses aside, the structure of the internet is to make information worthless, and the only way to monetize it is to create a false scarcity, which is increasingly untenable as the internet and it's users become more sophisticated.

                          there was a small window where the internet allowed people to profit from ip using pre-internet models but those days are over.

                          where to go? who knows, although millions are hustling to figure out new ways to profit while others are hand-wringing.

                            Making today's average porn scene can't cost much. The guys work for a few hundred bucks a pop (pardon the pun) , the women a bit more. It's all digital, editing is a breeze, and post-production work is slim to none. Cry me a river...
                            See? YOUR DOING IT WRONG!!! lol

                              Everyone should stop sending traffic to the companies that do business with them. If you buy advertising you aren't going to get any traffic from other parties.
