what will happen if user-generated porn takes over 'produced' porn? (in terms of consumer interest)

How will it impact the adult landscape?

"amateur" porn has been very popular for a long time now.

the stuff put out by companies as "amateur" isnt really amateur

could be monetized, if you can get enough of it on a site :2 cents:

I will throw up.


I've seen pictures of people who post on porn boards and sites. Not good.

I think user-generated porn already has a greater attraction to surfers than does produced porn. I'm convinced the popularity of a site like youporn.com is due to its true amateur porn, not due to some of the "illegal" content that may be there as well.

It's just that the market at the moment is vastly dominated by produced porn, there's a taboo associated with freely submitting your own porn which is why it may not ever truly thrive as much as user-generated content on youtube and the likes does. Until very recently there hasn't been a proper medium for user-generated content.

I think that there will always be a market for content with significant production value.

what do you mean "what if" it already is taking over

You will be out of a job

There will always be a market for professional porn.

Why does everyone seem confused about what "user generated" content is?


User generated content is NOT finding their favorite video that someone else created and uploading it. It's taking a webcam, camera or video camera and producing something THEMSELVES and uploading it.


User generated porn (the tiny portion of amateur couples willing to fuck and FILM it for FREE, then share it) will NEVER come close to filling the need of erotic for the end user.



Not in a million years. :2 cents:

There will DEFINATLY always be a market for professional porn... not everyone wants to see a bad lightning, bad camera and some buttfucking ugly people fucking!

user generated porn is dangerous grounds. a lot of underage shit will get caught in the mix. taping yourself fucking is not an activity restricted to the 18+ crowd. someone is gonna take a fall over that shit one day. some of these "amateur" mmebers sites that gather their content from usenet and amateur sharing forums and shit without 2257 or any documentation. they almost definitely are hosting underage content somewhere. and as was said. there is ALWAYS going to be a huge market for produced porn. Just look at how well airbrushed porn sells compared to other content in alot of niches!

Pretty hard to have 2257 on user submitted content, who knows if its underage or not.

Hybrids are the wave of the future.

:)

A well produced porn can always be just as good though, it depends on the people in the film, they have to be really into it, like lesbians gotta have their faces buried in mucks not just licking clit hoods off to the side like it might bite them. Shit like that is what makes amateur porn better, that it's real, but it's something easily recreated if the right people are willing to put a bit of work into it.

I don't think it will 'take over' big productions but there is definitely a huge market for it.

well said :thumbsup

What do you mean what if?

I guess it will be a hit for gay guys. I forget the name of the one tube site that mafde a bunch of news here a few weeks ago. They claimed to cater to user generated content. Most of it was dudes wanking on their webcams.

Wasn't many hot chicks doing any uploading.

i think it can only help bring variety.. it doesnt mean that pro companies won't start producing their own if it means keeping business on the up and up.. give an 18yo girl who signed a released and has id a camera, or tell her to fire up her webcam and give her ideas of what to do, but dont script anything...

change is good, it's knowing how to adapt in all situations that counts

Well when you look at the background of many of the "Newer" producers of Adult over the last few years they started out with Amateur stuff and just sold it as content.

NO backing, no Professional lights.
Just a basic little video camara.

Amateur produced stuff has always been in huge demand.

The "What if" scenerio has already occured in my opinion. Many Professional Video Labels have collapsed tons of them and it is not only a sign of the internets effects but part and parcel to Amateur based productions that land themselves on the internet every day.

Anyone with a Video camara and basic PC can create content for the net and that availability and simplicity is incredibly evident over the past several years.

"user" porn was popular in the 90's :)

not to mention they don't have to play the distribution game that pro companies who rely on DVD sales have setup...

tiny tits will never hurt big tits niche too...it's same with user generated amateur porn

Exact, also most of these amateur video's are nasty , unshaven , dirty body's with bad lighting and ugly people usually.

I perfer having "fake amateur"

There will always be lots of people who prefer produced porn. Plus it's not hard to produce fake amateur porn. I doubt it will affect the producers in a bad way.

Ya, as a matter of fact it would only make things much much cheaper for producers to film.

The 2257 box of issues re-opens and then shit hits the fan between the gov and consumers now instead of professional studios ( which was a big waste of time and money to begin with )....

yea i think ppl are getting sick of overproduced and want something more real - like the girl next door

You obviously haven't seen the girl-thing that lives next door to me...

ADG

There is not change at all and see how much of the so called: user-generated videos are made by porn filmers themself

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

agree

The big porn producers go through great lengths to create more and more expensive porn titles. :2 cents:

Like the huge ass site redclouds? User submitted voyeur content.

I think self user created content has always been larger than produced porn. More of it, more people looking for it, more people like it, ect.. This moves into the fake amateur niche too, since things like the pov/amateur niche can seem homemade.

Well if you saw me naked, you'd soon be done with porn and sex for good. :1orglaugh

I think much would be the same actually. Eyes are king. You would want to be able to attract people who can provide content for you. These people in turn would help attract more people. The focus becomes your software and the other people on your site rather than a seperate product which you are selling. You would need to find ways to monetize your traffic using a different model. For instance perhaps you would open up a dating service among your members (which also connects to a more global base) or upsell special status accounts.

As long as you can keep the eyes at your site you need not worry so much. But lose that and you're truly screwed. The primary difference lies in what you are selling. :2 cents:

I guess the next time congress drags some industry lawyers before it, they will remind them that last time they were told, Get a handle on your industry, or WE WILL.

i like poo

There will be an incredibly popular girl making the rounds of tube sites, she will become outed as a fifteen year old and shit will hit the fan.

A guy jerking off on camera for free will get tired of doing it after a while if there is no money to motivate him. If he starts to get popular his fans will ask for him to have sex with a partner. Eventually, he will run out of partners willing to do it for free.

He will either quit shooting his own stuff for free or figure out how to monetize just like we do.

Smart people will make sites like http://sellyoursextape.com/ and continue to make money online

I'm with you on that one Holly, pretty scary indeed.. The folks there love it though.
