I started 30 years ago and it was a lot easier. Even 20 years ago it was easier. And a damn site more profitable for us content producers.

My ideas are about today and for others who have not made the money I made, or you, to get this business back on track. So far all the trolls have contributed nothing. Losers like Damo, have nothing to contribute.

It will stop a lot of the small Tubes. But it will not save the majority in this business. Mansef and a few others have long term plans.

Do you think they will just go back to 4 minute clips and lose all their traffic to others with the same short length?

No they will load Tubes with content they have the license for and keep their traffic and take others. It's long term thinking. Then they will not need many who now work in porn. Other content owners will continue to close and Mansef will buy up their libraries for cents on the dollar. Will they need affiliates, traffic people, designers, etc. when the customer has few options on who to spend his money with?
