You only had paysites to concern yourself with, was in the position of having girls you could promote and sell as people or any way you call it this is the basis of your ideas.
So why did you keep just adding recorded porn to Twistys and not try to sell the girls themselves of the Tube traffic.
YOU'VE SEEN Kayden Kross VIDEOS, NOW MEET HER IN PERSON, LIVE AND FOR REAL ONLINE. AND IF YOU WANT TO CHAT WITH HER.
You were in an excellent position to do this. Some of the girls you obviously feature a lot. I assume they're members favorites. So why didn't you step up to the next level?
Not having a go at you, asking what were the problems doing this. Because it's been something I've been saying for a while now. Would like to know the problems in doing it. |
Again you don't know what you're talking about Paul. Shap didn't just have paysites to concern himself with - he owned large free sites like Sextube and Thumbzilla amongst others.
And Twistys did add live pornstar interactive cam shows. I'm sure if he had kept Twistys he would have done more live cam stuff but realize that a glamour model or pornstar would cost about 500 dollars for hanging out with Twistys members for a few hours, so add 15K a month.
NaughtyAmerica tried the live interactive thing on as big a scale as anybody has in the industry. They were practically runnning their own cable channel with shows featuring live porn chicks all day. It's gone now - just too expensive.
Now what if Naughty America, Bangbros, Brazzers, RK, Pimproll, got together and shared the costs to provide their members live access to porn stars on cam - it would work.
Cams are far from the cure for falling sales for paysites. The problem is piracy and the economy. Shap and other paysite owners have accepted this, you keep insisting that it's the quality of the content that is a big reason for falling paysite sales, you're wrong but content is the only part of the biz you have a lot of experience in so you continue to beat that dead horse. Web surfers get great value and content these days on these paysite networks. So if a big % of surfers have decided they won't pay for porn no matter how good that porn is people like Shap are trying to use their content to draw them in and sell them something else, cams, dating, penis crap etc or sell off the traffic/advertising to people who can turn a profit on it, from what i've seen mostly snake oil and scams, or people desperate for traffic. If I could total the cost of traffic sold to desperate or newb webmasters it would be in the billions.
