ha look at this

I've yet to find a pay porn site that gives me the variety of fucked up porn I can get from motherless

[sojproductions]

interesting, interaction and high quality seem the 2 key features for those willing to pay, nothing new there but it's a great reminder.

"Brazzers has essentially become a marketing tool. Manwin, the conglomerate that owns Brazzers, also owns pornhub (and like 12 other tube sites).

You'll notice that, over the past 3 years, Brazzers has been producing more and more free content. They have channels on all of the major tube sites, where they share 5-7 minute clips of their videos. In doing this, tube sites like pornhub become more valuable. And, even when someone uploads their content without consent, it's still beneficial for at least one of the websites.

Brazzers, while they might have difficulty turning a profit on their own, is a major asset to Manwin. They now control both the content AND medium of delivery. On pornhub, you gradually see less and less full-length videos, more studio-sanctioned extended previews. Previews that often show a scene at enough length to ... "entertain" viewers. However, because Manwin controls the delivery medium, if you want to see more, you need to buy a membership at one of the websites vividly advertised throughout the page (and there's your major profit source, ad revenue).

And, very possibly, this was their plan; create a "free" environment of shorter videos, and a premium environment of complete ones. The tube sites outside of the conglomerate are unincorporated, so they're not able to pull the same play.

And, because of the boom in tube site ad revenue, it's too expensive for any other company to buy up a gaggle of porn sites and do the same. Manwin has, essentially, no competition.

I'd be worried more about bangbros. They're doing alright right now, but with the value of their product so low, and their huge advertising overhead, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see them around in 2020. I mean, their business model is actually quite awful. If Netflix expected to run its entire operation by charging people $35 a month, do you think they would stay in business? And, consider that netflix is a bill that one's SO generally thinks is just as necessary as you do. With a yearly charge of $420, even if you think it's worth it, the other checkbook captain might not.

Edit: My most popular comment ever is about porn. lol"

Which GFY faggot was that?

They are definitely clueless, so it has to be a GFYer.

And there you have it...the paysite paradox:

kink is definitely the most worthwhile site, and if I was willing to pay for it, that's where my money would go.

But after 15 years of solid internet pornology, I've wisened up. I mean, ten years ago it was true that you needed to pay for porn to see anything decent. There was no such thing as youtube, so there was no redtube or slutload either, so nobody believed you could just stream nigh-quality video for free and somehow turn a profit.

What's more, in those days there was nothing called a torrent either, and the viability of download sites got dramatically worse the more people tried to use them.

Paying $10 a month for unlimited porn was the best thing I did, back in 1997. Today, it's a loser's bet. Sure, you might be able to say you get the latest porn before anyone else, but is that really something you actually want to pay money for?

Masturbating is such a context-sensitive enterprise, getting 'the best' just becomes an exercise in frustration, just like the 'dragon chasing' that plagued my drug-taking career, you will never be able to get better and better (or should I say worse and worse) porn because the system in your brain responsible for arousal has been overloaded. My tolerance level got so high I could hardly even get an erection if there wasn't at least one midget or a girl with two hands up her asshole.

So not worth it. The good news for people like me is that porn tolerance goes away pretty quickly. I ended up stuck in a place where I had to share a room so internet masturbation was impossible. Or any kind of masturbation for that matter. My roommate jerked off once in the dark and the noises were disturbing enough I told him cut it the fuck out.

However, after just 2 weeks of that, I returned to civilisation and discovered I was ready to blow my load practically before I had even logged in. Shit, I used to spend 2 hours lazily jerking it while perusing my absurd multi-terabyte collection, and not be able to find anything interesting. After the break, I couldn't get past the first 3 videos.

I've never paid for porn since. Anytime I felt like I needed something new that wasn't free, I've taken that as a sign I need a week or two's holiday from the personal arts.
