Kickstarter for porn...->
 

who is behind this? ELM?

interesting concept. I could see it working..

That could be pretty cool. I've got a few ideas actually.

As I was skimming through the titles, I misread this thread as "Kindergarten for porn" and clicked on it instinctively, BOOM fucking Bruce Lee lightning finger.


Now I'm concerned for myself. :1orglaugh

amazing that your so impressed with the act of simply copying something else and doing it in porn.

This was the industry that made money from vcrs while the mpaa was arguing that it would be death of their industry

and now you guys proudly announce someone copying the success of kickstarter for porn.

After i have been talking about it for months

and after kickstarter get a 2 million dollar funding for a dead game genre.

I really enjoyed the video they got made by a 6 year old in preschool.....geez!

Get people to invest in shit that won't make any money because it'll be ripped and uploaded to every pirate site on the net.

so if fans pre paid you 2 million dollars (like double fine) in advance for your stuff
you believe that money magically disappears because people will pirate it afterwards.

Seriously how stupid do you have to be to believe that.

The money is to invest in the creation of the project, dumbass.

So your take on this site is a way to get money from random people for an idea, then run off with the money? I would expect that from you, because you can't actually create anything.

that porn drove technological innovation has always been a myth, largely driven by tech journalists and theorists who used porn to make their geeky and boring subjects interesting and sexy.

Double fine is not going to run away with the money

they are going to produce the game for the kickstarter sponsors


do you even understand the concept of a kickstarter campaign

people PRE PAY for content they want created

They get the content/(and the rewards) at the end of the project.

Seriously again stupid do you have to be to believe that all the kickstarter projects are scams.

fact at the exact same time as the MPAA was comparing the VCR to the boston strangler

The porn industry was going thru an explosion of development filming for VCR.


That at least one undeniable example where the porn industry lead,

there are are many other that are not as clear cut (porn going one way, and the entire industry going the other) but there are other example where porn went there first.

Porn is most certainly not leading the way on the internet anymore. That hasn't been true for quite a long time.

Then again, a good chunk of internet companies have lost their innovation. Now almost everything is the ______ of _______. The Kickstarter of Porn, the Airbnb for cars, etc. Innovation just isn't that widespread anymore. And even the original ideas are simply "add a social element to ______" like funding and travel.

90% of the business plans:

1. Start tubesite.
2. Profit.

I need $10K to make this happen.

i think the big leaps in innovation in the internet have pretty much peaked. the big changes over the next decade or two are going to be political, economic, scientific breakthroughs irl.

surprise surprise

they guy who though

believes there is no more innovation in the internet.

you could be more wrong.

there are tons of innovations available, the problem is that they are coming from the guys you are calling pirates.

And they are...? What have the guys people are calling "pirates" innovated in the past 3 years for instance? Not trolling, just seriously curious since I don't do torrents n shit.

Has anyone realized that porn doesn't innovate anymore because of piracy? Why would you invest in something new and unique when it can be stolen within 5 minutes. That's why porn is so cookie cutter now.

Look at China, they have a billion people, they are cranking out educated people, have tons of high tech factories, yet nothing innovative is coming out of China. It's because there is no incentive to do so. All your products and ideas will just be stolen instantly.

So while people bitch about intellectual laws preventing some innovation, it's the lack of intellectual property laws that really stop innovation.

But overall, the internet has sort of boomed already and in some ways is actually going backwards. I mean, people think pinterest.com is some exciting new thing. It's just some junk website. There is no new technology being invented, it's all just garbage websites with buzz words like "social" this or that. The internet is sort of like the power grid now, it's there you can use it, it will slowly improve, but the major advances are pretty much done. It will just slowly get better.

Robotics and especially artificial intelligence is the next big thing and it's coming sooner than you think. Those are the fields that will create the next Apple, Microsoft, and Google.

The problem is too much of the same product. I love Jayden James, but how many times do I really need to see her give a blowjob and get fucked in the 3 basic positions before taking load on her face?

all this right here :2 cents: :2 cents:

and this here.

i'm fapping to all of the truth in this thread already :1orglaugh

old ethnocentric, sometimes racist, myth.

No there aren't. I was interviewed by a tech magazine here and they asked about porn innovating technically and asked for citations.

I don't think there is a single thing porn innovated. It's a myth.

If you are going to accuse me of racism you better have proof.

I said the Chinese people are educated and being educated at a faster pace than the rest of world. My critique was on their governmental marketplace that doesn't protect intellectual property.

Tell me again how my statement was racist or based on stereotypes?

Have others signed up to this site yet?

seriously then your a moron because i just gave you one absolute example

porn shot for vcr when mpaa was comparing it the boston strangler

it a historical record.

your view of history is delusional.

flattr.com

So you will have no difficulty finding a citation of porn innovating technically then?

i already gave you one

on the same hour that Jack Valenti compared the vcr to the boston strangler


3 sex scenes were being filmed on video tape for the vcr.

if you took money and put it in a hole. You would probably get a better return than putting it in adult.In the current market place.

Oh darling, a citation means where you link to an authoritative website to back up your bullshit. You can't just say "I said so".

It makes you look really silly!

JV was testifying in congress against the VCR in 1982

going backwards



I remember being around when the vcr vs betamax debate was going on

you bought a betamax if you wanted to record tv shows (1 hour tapes) and the vhs if you wanted to watch dirty movies (1976). In fact that was the reason my dad bought a betamax INSTEAD of vhs vcr.

/thread :thumbsup

Has anyone used offbeatr yet? Launched two weeks ago, and already a grip of projects and a bunch of users!

looks good

Do they have CC processing yet? I think this could be a problem, since every project is different arguably it'll need independent CC review for each one...

Yes, they do have credit card processing now

I think it's a great idea. It's not necessarily about ROI, it's about giving adult fans the chance to support something they believe in.

they dont seem to be raising much cash however... ???

Friend of mine is using kickstarter for his band, anxious to see how it does for them.

only been up about a week :) it seems their userbase is growing fairly steadily, and their alexa rankings are positive too.
