Have The Trump Tariffs Affected Your Revenue? - GoFuckYourself.com

The Porn Nerd · 04-08-2025, 10:39 AM

Ever since President Trump started on his tariff tirade the short-term economy has been scary as hell.

The US Stock market had its' biggest one day crash since the pandemic, losing trillions (with a T!), Bear market, worst since 1987. Meanwhile Trump and his pundits are saying 'Don't worry about your 401K being wiped out'.

But what about we porn professionals? Supposedly porn is 'recession proof' since the theory goes that when times get bad people need a little relief, as in splooge on their keyboards (or phone). But this time around this doesn't seem to be the case.

Now I have fifteen years of data showing mat March-April is the worst time of the year for paysite sales. But usually during this time other revenue streams hold fairly steady (upsells, cross-sells, affiliate rebills and cam signups, etc). But again, not this time around...

So how is it going for you? Things will pick up in May, especially when the tariffs dust settles - but that's also when people should start to feel the affects of these tariffs.

What are you doing differently to get through this crazy period? For me it is building new sites, optimizing old ones and reaching out to affiliates. You?

Sure you can Daddy Warbucks! Just pony up that extra 40% tariff. The Ritchie Riches of the world can afford it!

The Porn Nerd · 04-08-2025, 02:46 PM

BTW: This is all just one giant money laundering scheme to milk the non-rich. You do realize that right?

Who pays these tariffs anyway? The American people (the public) does. It goes like this:

Public pays importer (store) > importer pays exporter (China) > China pays US gov't.

Get it yet? The rich think we're all idiots, and they have all our data to prove it. LOL We get what we deserve.

Actually, it isnt.

Its a scheme to make the rich, richer.

The markets are going to tank, they'll buy more stocks, then Trump will rollback the tariffs and the markets will increase, lather, rinse, repeat.

Making the poor, poorer, is just a nice benefit for them, you can't control rich people, you can however control and manipulate the working poor, just look at the average voter.

Gee... what big event a couple of years ago helped double, triple billionaire's wealth, or in case of Elon... 10x his wealth... and everyone still remembers it as "muh deadly global pandemic!!!" rather than a massive money and power grab hoax cloaked in fear-mongering nonsense that worked perfectly on low IQ TV-fed boomers and masked up, vaxxed up people living in complete fear?

Last stockmarket crash in 2008 income went 50% down.
Than pornhub accelerated and another 50% gone.

Porn is Covid Proof, not recession proof.

Then just like that, a 90 day hold on the tarrifs... Shocking, who would have saw that coming

Markets tanked, the rich purchased more stocks, the markets are going to go back up... This whole cycle will start again in 90 days.

Demand for porn is huge in Asian countries.

If recession occurs, we could see 7 out of 10 women going to onlyfans and other porn related content.

Already I am watching lots of young woman in early 20s showing their curves in tik tok.

Stop hijacking this thread please. It is NOT about Covid or the jab.
This thread is about the Trump tariffs and if they are affecting your revenue.

Stay on topic please.

NatalieK · 04-10-2025, 01:15 PM

Question is, did Trump put all the tariffs up and then reduce knowing it would effect China & the stock market, or, was this just a lucky situation after putting up the tariff & the stock market crashing, so then pulling the hold on them & the stock market making millions...

is Trump genius or a nutter!?!?!?

As far some info shared form some of clients. It seems the tariff has not affected their crypto payments side. They have some issues with card payments going down. Not sure if its tariff, but if you think about it crypto payments offer better cross border payments.

Sergio · 04-11-2025, 06:07 AM

Not at all. Traffic the same

The full impact of tariffs won't be felt until Christmas.

Bingo.

Anyone saying they feel the effects of them now don't know what they're talking about, this was never about 'the tariffs' it was about making rich people, richer.

Well the actual story only the government knows that - meaning we'll never know - only guess. Covid the virus was real - how it became worldwide no one will tell us - and guarantee it won't be the last.

Did my family and I have the vax shot? yes
Did we have all of them? no

Actually when talking to my doctor a little while ago I had asked if I should get a booster due to my declining health etc. He looked then turned to me and said, "no need for any boosters"> with that I was fine. I trust my doctor that I've known for 20 years.

This type of topic -- focused on what impact we are or are not each seeing -- is actually one of the top uses of business forums. This should be a useful thread, which belongs in this forum.

The thing where some people are incapable of discussing what, if any, impact something like this will have on the digital adult industry, which would be useful ... but you are dying to bleat about some sort of high school team jersey nonsense ... I just don't get what the partisans addicted to this get out of it, but it is very irritating to everyone else.

mainstreammix · 04-13-2025, 04:45 PM

Costs are up, prices raised to compensate and that's before the last several back and forth things. Friends paying 6 or 7 figures more for the same orders, it is untenable.
