Nathan only has to provide 1 clip and millions of people will tell him if it's the right thing to do or not, and if not he can tweak it until it's a hell yes, and then all he has to do is provide that to them - being that he can limit it's free exposure to millions of people, or build up a base of interested buyers before the product is even done so once it is done he already knows the percentage of buyers he would have.

That's the level of control he has and that's just a minor example of it.
That's wrong idea of control. You need to think of what control really is.

Manwin's Tubes ONLY get surfers because they get free porn in amounts and ways better than other sites. The moment they slow down on that, surfers move on.

Even while the surfers are on his site, he has no control over them. He can't make them click a link, he can't make them buy after clicking that link.

No you and I have a totally different idea of what the word control is. It's not and has never been test marketing.

At the moment free surfers control the free sites. Give us the most or we fuck off to who will. That's control when Manwin jumps up and gives them what they demand.

"For example, if any of us here came up with a new cool idea - a new niche/film idea lets say."

Let's say pigs can fly, if we're going that far. What new cool ideas, new niches or film ideas have you seen come up recently?

Yes if a site comes out with a new way of shooting a new niche and has a cool way of shooting. Then he can test it. Or the site can tell him to fuck off and do without him. Still no control. Whether in your mythical world the idea sprouts up, Manwin still need that person to allow them to promote it.
