I understand that you sell scenes and not buy them, but that means you produce them, right? So I guess, either how much actual cost do you have, and/or how much do your clients pay for an exclusive scene?

Exclusive scene, In my case (and I have only ever sold a couple for exclusive use to 1 site with the rights to show it for 6 months exclusive at which time I could use it myself on Extremehole... in other words I maintained full ownership of it.) 1500 bucks for 30 minutes and about 200 photos to go with it.
When I shoot with models they got paid 1000 per day or 150/hour which ever was cheaper for me. Factor in that I would normally have to rent a place to shoot, get there (normally hundreds of miles) Then I have all the normal costs, tapes equipment lighting props DILDOS (I have about 60k in rubber dildos alone) Lube (bought wet literally by the gallon) Fucking machines, outfits, etc.
The scenes actually cost me quite a bit to produce. I can't pound out 5+ scenes a day... hell it's hard to get 2 really good ones, (try stuffing something the size of a football in one of your holes for a few hours and see how long you last)
Top all this with the fact I can't just walk down the street and find girls that can do this type of penetration.
My saving grace was the fact that I was married to the main feature of the site and we where able to produce a ton of content together over the years for the cost of the toys (and the marriage, so what's the price of that?)
The site has ALWAYS been a shock sell. Word of mouth type site. Nothing faked, everything shown, etc. You start putting my stuff out there on free sites in full length and you take away that "shock" Over saturation becomes a real issue really quick.
Think about this for a second, imagine what could have been made if you (previous owners) could have simply been apart of my 50/50 revshare program for life. Just that 1 OLD video of mine had close to 800 THOUSAND views on pornhub alone.
Instead, the path was taken to steal it and use it to bring eyeballs to the surrounding ads which quite honestly, have nothing to do with my niche to begin with. I have one affiliate who has a horrible webpage promoting my stuff. Seriously, I'm talking 1995 type page here... flashing graphics and all... He has been able to make just about 120k promoting me over the years with a tiny FRACTION of those views.
People can say anything they like about my content. I was never a "professional shooter" I learned as I went starting from nothing. But the fact remains that it must be worth something if everyone is stealing it to use it in promoting there own sites (Silvercash, Adult Empire to name just a few).
