The problem on a board dominated by webmasters and suggesting they should step aside is the knee jerk reaction from webmasters. The recorded porn industry is shrinking, the big companies are the only ones maintaining revenue. Tubes are are getting more people off in a day than a lot of sites manage in a year.
Change has to come, should VR have the same impact as HD and 3D, many are fucked. Because filming yesterday's porn scene in tomorrow's technology has little impact on someone who only wants a 20-minute wank. They used to have to buy porn. Now the webmasters deliver more free wanks than have ever been sold online.
Paysites have to change, webmasters are more interested in an automated system to give away free porn than changing the industry. How is the problem?
Marketing involves looking at the consumers needs, market's situation and the producers/products ability.
Consumers needs. He doesn't need to pay for a 20-minute wank.
Market's situation. Too much porn, free or paid for, only delivers a 20-minute wank.
Producers/products ability. Too many people shoot girls who can't communicate with the viewer and deliver more than a 20-minute wank.
In effect, we're still shooting the same porn that was shot in 1990. Just sharper. Most of it is so "Tube Ready" it's a wonder who buys. About 1-10,000 that can't continue.
The only part of the industry that's making money at the same level or higher is Webcams. Dating isn't really porn, it's relationships and that's soaring. People still buy people, in fact buying more than ever before. Certainly more than people who buy porn.
The conclusion is obvious, shoot the person not the act. Let customers become part of her life rather than wank over the biological act of sex. If you don't know what that means, you're a webmaster. Pornographers know models are people they come in all shapes, sizes and personalities. That with a little marketing knowledge can be made into a product.
How the individual company does that is the hard part. Those shooting cheap content in Russia of teens doing the same thing then packaging them on different sites every few months are stuck. Jay Allen and people of his level are more than capable, he only needs the time.
Then webmasters are given the tools to sell the person not the site. Tubes are only interested in traffic to sell ad space they don't want anything but content to get visitors to wank to. So won't be interested n this content. What the sites have to do is not give away the money shot when that's the reason many will pay for.
By no means 100% solution. That will only come when free porn is 99% eliminated. Like it was before webmaster took over.
