Random thoughts in light of Xvideos

1. I see so many people moving their Red videos to ad share. This seems very hasty. Sheer is one thing as you are selling your content to people paying for porn. Moving full videos to ad share is simply re-enforcing the old system. The surfer is now learning he can get off for free again. The ad networks know that the people watching free full videos might be paying customers and the tube can pay a % of the ad which I am sure is a hell of a lot less then the % of the premium view. I don’t know because they are very unclear about these numbers. The tubes crushed the pay for porn model. Now the people selling porn are escorting themselves to the gallows, greasing the guillotine and pulling the cord themselves. I assume guillotines need grease, do they? My suggestion, hold off and see what plays out.

2. I would love to be a fly on the wall in their meetings. Have they learned that in this adult fish tank a healthy ecosystem is key to longevity? The fat fish with 80% margins is great, but if the plants are dying and the smaller fish floating their party will come to an abrupt end…again. Are they only in CYA mode or truly understanding and thinking long term.

3. Do these companies keep an outside advisory board of studios? I don’t mean the studios they own or people so in bed with them they are yes people. I mean independent paysites that could give them advice.

4. Faphouse+Sheer+Spicevids <! Xhamster+Xvideos+Pornhub (remember the alligator eats the bigger number) And that equation will never shift again, time to act accordingly.

5. I am not anti-tube. I just want to make great content to sell. I want my financial success to be based on the quality of my product and business management, not others mismanagement. I want to be appreciated by my customers, affiliates and the platforms that distribute it. I want a healthy porn economy. This is ADULT ENTERTAINMENT for fucks sake. Entertain me! It is frustrating to watch these train wrecks in slow motion and the disorganized half-hearted responses. These companies aren’t Microsoft, but their crisis management is pathetic. Billie and I could do better in two hours on GFY. And I mean that.
