Thanks Steve

Glad to have you back Steve... you don't know me... i'm one of the thousands of affiliates quietly pushing you and others sites, but I respect your empire you've built along the way and appreciate you moving back here.

07-09-2009, 10:05 PM

Damn, just missed the 20 question.

If you don't mind answering one more, I'd appreciate your input.

Q: Have you thought about doing any mainstream? If you have, are you? If you have and aren't, what would you do? If you have and are, what are you doing, and what do you suggest others to try out?

see #19 and #20 --- same principles apply to mainstream.

I don't do anything in mainstream now, but I would be open to offers and opportunities.

Agree with most of this except the thing about people wanting it all. If they did Tubes would not be a threat. Because you can't give away "all" for free. Just little snippets.

What if you combine the paysite with the niche content and offer niche live cams etc inside the members area along with a forum etc?

Depends, sometimes the cost of creating the niche content is not justified by he return. Up until a few years ago the best niche content was on DVD because the returns were better. I've lost count of the number of people who have asked me to produce niche content for a fraction of the return that magazines and DVD paid.

Live cams is something we should all be looking into and hitting the income of the Tubes. We offer it for free from inside our sites. We ca afford it.

But if you're lucky enough to have an archive of content that can't be shot easily today you're sitting pretty. Astral Blue.

sandman! · 07-10-2009, 12:33 AM

Many people have seen ratio's and sales go down in the last 6-12 months what is your take on the economy's affect on adult sales and the affect of tube sites on adult sites today.

GM, and lots of companies are DEAD, and it has NOTHING to do with tube sites. Tube sites are easy to blame, but we've always fought piracy on the net in some form.

You know that horrible feeling you get after you jerk off in a crowded room with everyone watching, and just after you cum you say to yourself "hey - this may not have been a great idea" when you realize that everyone in the room has a camera, and you earlier told your wife you were at Walmart shopping for a new TV.

This thread made me feel worse than that feeling

PurrrsianPussyKat · 07-10-2009, 12:02 PM

21. questions
How will you adapt in this current market with demanding and impatient sufers that want quality, quantity and community (using current or new business models)?

Evil Chris · 07-10-2009, 02:28 PM

i suggest you take a look again, if anything the number of people who realize that "illegal" tube sites are protected by the safe harbor provision of the DMCA has increased.

When you left people kept arguing with me on those legal points

now those who hired a lawyer to check it out, know that i was right about those legal points

love to see the tube killer you came up with

although i will be the first one to predict that it will fail.
