It irritates me when adult tubes are referred to as a disruptive technology. I reserve that title for businesses that really did disrupt the status quo through smart tech or superior distribution. (amazon and book retail, netflix and film/TV, apple itunes and the music business)
The adult tubes thrived because they did not have to pay for their content. The "disruptive idea" was a realisation that the DMCA dance allowed them to steal the content thus completely negating the cost of sales. The adult tubes prevailed because of a legal loophole not because of a brilliant invention or business idea.  |
just not true - people like JT when he was running Youporn focussed on data extensively - and they bought content in huge amounts.
and i am really not saying all tube owners are saints - many are not and it really bothers me - but saying that all tubes never bought content is not true
actually sometimes the same people that in public cursed at tubes, licensed behind the scenes their whole libraries cause in the beginning tubes paid very well
but from a content owner point of view file lockers always bothered me way more cause there whole member areas in full quality are available - opposed to a few grainy videos on tubes here and there
