But who knows. Unless political pressure makes stealing new content more risky, things for the typical paysite will prob get overall worse for the near future at least.
Porn is basicly going the way of music. Doesnt mean you cant rise above or do something diff or better but momentum is not on the conventional porn paysite's side.
I think the stagnation in terms of new paysites with new content being developed in 2011 echos that sentiment loud and clear.
There is "faith no more". Like the band |
Agreed. Even if political pressure takes out piracy and that's a dream, then the Tubes giving porn away will get most of the traffic.
The problem is as you say, the stagnation of online porn. I posted this in another thread.

Putting porn online offered so many great opportunities, it was always going to be major competition to offline porn. The ability to cut out retail, go direct to customers, deliver to markets that previously weren't being satisfied properly (not in the sense many think of hitting areas. As porn if only softcore magazines were available but in the form of niches that weren't satisfied). The ability to change direction, adjust and direct the product to suit the customers needs and more. Later as BW got cheaper and speeds increased, live 1-1, live porn and so much more.
What do we see today?
Sites concentrating on the image quality, churning out the same old scenes porn was churning out 20 years ago. And the flag ship of Manwin is just plain old porn valley porn, without the story line. Even though everyone screams that online porn was setting new standards, meeting needs better and the rest of the BS. It ended up churning out a product that except for HD and shaven genitals, could of been shot in 1990.
Webcams were a development of live phone sex and 1-1 booths in sex shops. Dating, I was a member of a singles club in the 80s. ExGF, loads of magazines had a "Readers Wives" section. There were magazines dedicated to Readers Wives type content where readers would send in photos. I was shooting this stuff in the 1970s.
The only thing online porn did that was ground breaking and something offline porn never did was? Well we all know the answer to that. What are 99.99% of our consumers getting off on?

That's one of the biggest reasons people aren't buying porn. Let's face it and be honest with ourselves for a change. The cost of running a paysite, with good content, hosting, programs, BW, etc. Is minimal. Once sponsors start spending a fortune on free porn, then what's left for the rest becomes less and less. Considering a lot of the other costs are pretty well fixed. The money spent on the members area never was enough.
Join that to the situation that most of those in online porn are computer people, then you see why online porn never developed.
Today Tubes are better than paysites unless you
have to have HD. And we know the answer to that.
