Good luck.

on a serious note...i have been emailed by several people who are (or claim to be) players in this game, who say - I stole their idea, or whatever...fact is, it is not that original of an idea...plenty of people have probably had it...television has been ad supported for decades...even a lab rat could comprehend that...however, it takes a crew like Dan and I to throw their nuts on the table and take a risk and say, "I am going to do this"...so, if you are second or third in line to actually grow a pair...that's fine....just bow down and kiss the ring...we are innovators and we did this first.
anyone could have beat us to the punch, but they didn't for all of the fags that were calling me "irrelevant" earlier in this thread, fuck that shit...it ain't like that all eyes on me...that's all I can say. Being a trailblazer is not easy. |

While I wish Jay and Dan the best of luck on this ballsy project, I do have mixed emotions about it, because if it succeeds, it will pave the way for a new era in the business, and as a content producer, that is a damn scary new era. The thought of this model turning into the norm, frightens me.
So on one hand I wish you guys all the luck in the word and hope it kicks ass for you. On the other hand, and for my own selfish reasons, I hope it fails like a fuckin' dickhead. :-) lol Rock on! |

HD, if they all can keep from giving all of the super high quality shit away, will be the next big deal. Like B&W versus color. In my eyes, the future will be all of the content free with an option to purchase high quality versions of it. Especially if they ever get that 3D coating right.
The tour will be all of their videos. The monthly membership model is also going to die. They pay $20-$50/mo for a broadband connection they think entitles them to the whole internet. You want them to pay $30/mo for YOUR site? Especially with 1M others out there looking just like it? Really? Why? Better be a god damned miracle, some of the most niched niches out there STILL have competitors, $30 for your site.. a commitment.. Why? No, they won't, not for much longer they won't. If they WILL, someone already ripped your shit off, anyway.... YOU won't adapt, they'll STEAL it anyway The future is all whatever ends up being the STANDARD for quality and LIVE SHIT. Sell the STANDARD, sell something REAL, sell something people NEED, or sell a DREAM. Not this membership model from 1922. Comparing it to houses and cars being given away is pretty stupid. You give away a car, it's gone. You let them test drive a car, right, you let them see the house before buying, right?? They can walk all through it, inspect it, physically be there. They want to LIVE there they PAY. Maybe we'll find a way to give it away without letting them share it amongst themselves and put it all over the web.. Probably not.. but if you could, do you not see it as a viable option, letting them see the content and SELLING the premium shit? Alot of businesses make money from 1% ONE PERCENT of the people they service and are WILDLY profitable! http://itotd.com/articles/295/giving...ng-the-blades/ OR government regulation will happen.. and in this mess of a country, don't ever say never. The government here will come in and rape away your newlywed virgin wifes cherry if they want to and no one will do SHIT but WHINE. But then, as much as I hate govt regs, well, if they DID come in and do that... would things get EASIER for content producers, program owners and affiliates? Sure, any tom dick or sloppy couldn't log on day one and throw web pages and sites up. But anyone SERIOUS about the business would still be fine. What if mainstream advertisers some time in the next decade soften up and stop caring if their ads are on adult sites? What if it becomes more socially acceptable? Hmmm... maybe then the content with the BIGGEST TRAFFIC DRIVING FORCE IN THE HISTORY OF MAN will really be WORTH SOMETHING instead of some stupid $30... you think?? How much longer can they all ignore the power of it.... you don't think a million big companies would LOVE to be able to benefit from the traffic we can drive?? I'm done rambling now but the point I am making is, no one knows what the future will hold. What I can tell you for SURE is that five years from now it will NOT be the ones who held on for dear life to this stupid old business model who are still standing. It will not be about hustling $30 memberships. $30 memberships are the dealer on the corner in Beverly Hills.. How long is he going to last? |

If all the content contains "Porno Dan" this tube does not stand a chance.
All the big tubes have 1000's of full scenes, Straight Down The Tubes has what? 100 videos? Don't know what all the hype here is about, this is not a game changer. The download button doesn't even work. Fix that. Also you should be running some banners to upsell the paysites the actual scene is from. ![]()

Whoa man, this thing scares the shit out of me. I certainly don't wish you ill-will but if this succeeds, that means I'm pretty much out of business. You seem to have a healthy grasp of the fact that it may or may not succeed and you're just sticking your neck out there to see what happens so sounds like you have a good plan. I guess, good luck? I'm not really sure what to say about this. Just don't steal my shit, k? :-)

Trying something new never hurts. You can always pull the content or replace vids later if you don't want it full scene anymore. |

You guys are the first one doing this because it's a Dumb Stupid Idea.
Giving away exclusive full scenes is nothing new. All the other big tube sites do it now. Having all your own content is boring and no variety. The only reason you guys did this is because your business must be so bad you have nothing else to lose. Of course this is my opinion, and I'm entitled to it, so don't even bother replying to this post. Unlike others. I know this will fail. But I do hope it fails miserably you arrogant fucks. ![]() Cheers, BV |

For all the haters/doubters - think about the amount of bottled water that is sold worldwide with one quarter of it sold in the US alone - and we have relatively cheap healthy tap water - beverage companies took an idea and stepped out on a limb - they now make billions of dollars a year from something that is widely available for free - its called marketing. Years before the internet, the porn industry "gave away" (ok so it cost a quarter) porn clips in stores - knowing that those customers would buy 8mm reels of video - and they could get mailed all kinds of offers for anything from mags to toys as "upsells" and was extremely profitable Going out on a limb here but I believe that anyone that can tap into a market so huge with a novel concept, will not only succeed - they will flourish while everyone sits and watches Good luck to you Dan and Jay ![]() |

So you're going to spend your own money shooting exclusive full length scenes in Los Angeles, then compete against established tubes who are already stealing full length scenes (and no content overhead), and will soon steal yours too.
I don't get it. God speed. |

this is why your company is going down the drain. this is why you have to resort to building tubes. which i could care less about. you are a cocky trashy spoiled brat, when your company has fizzled away and you wonder why come back to this thread. i basically saved you hours of changes but you took it as a personal attack because you think you always know best. if you know best then why have i seen you for the past 2 years bitching you are losing money? like i said let down your balls and learn something new or you will be long gone i was honestly trying to help you out. sometimes take constructive criticism it doesnt mean you are doing anything wrong. every time i make a design i have multiple people review it and pick it apart. this helps my conversions. |

All Eyez on Me is the fourth studio album by West Coast rapper 2Pac. It was released on February 13, 1996. This was the last album released during 2Pac's lifetime, as he died exactly 7 months later on September 13, 1996.

The reason why membership sales are down is because your producing SHIT CONTENT! Bottom line. I couldn't even work up a chubby watching any video on that tube site. Or any other tube site. So give it away for free. Why the fuck not. It's worth shit anyway and maybe you might get a few guys to buy ad spots, but how long will it last? This industry has always been about short term gains. That will never change.

The idea is really good but poorly implemented.
Hire someone who knows how to encode videos properly and a server that streams better than your current one. The revenue stream of only selling ad space will not work. To be exact, it will work, but you will make considerably less money than mixing stuff properly. Other than that, it's ok.

1 quick question.... Doesn't all the big tubes already have full length "exclusive" scenes? The only differance is that they steal them and you don't?

I think this is an extreme valid point, Dan is great at what he does but variety is key in porn. Surfers dont give a fuck if free porn is exclusive. Theres 1 million places to go for variety.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but there are tube sites with exclusive content. Exclusive content from many many different producers. Which means much more variety for the user. Furthermore, you are over amplifying the value of having exclusive content anyways (to some extent) To a surfer, it doesn't matter if a scene is on 20 other sites if he has never seen it before. So after he visits your site once, he has seen all that you have to offer, which is the same thing over and over again. You will never compete with the tubes that offer more variety. Granted these other sites are using DMCA to their advantage, and I give you kudos for not doing that and using your own. ![]() BUT, that does not mean that SDTT is the next big thing and will work and be very profitable. ![]() |

I think Metaman is right jay. Those changes he proposed are 100 percent true.
Also, I think we can do without the cockiness and arrogant attitude man. It really just makes you look bad, not everyone else. Your by far not the first to have these ideas. Props to you for releasing 100 percent exclusive first though. Stuff like this takes other people much more time. (seriously) |

I agreed with him. Stop brown-nosing. Like I said, I had to get the site out fairly quickly because the design took forever and I wanted to be lauched by XBIZ.

Maybe Information Really Doesn't Want to Be Free
Is Facebook the future of micropayments? Two excellent articles on this subject. This battle ( free vs paid ) will rage for years. I applaud the effort Jay. I think the verdict is still out, long term, regarding this issue but it's refreshing to see someone jumping out of the box. |

I have never brown nosed anyone on any forum ever. I do not need anyone for anything (content, traffic, affiliates, etc.). I generate my own traffic, shoot my own content, broker my own deals. What I can't do myself, I build myself. I am like a bull in the China shop when it comes to the forums. I can voice my opinion of dis/agreement to whomever, about whatever I like sport and will continue to do so. That said, I do not give a flying fuck about your idea or it's ripple effects, nor 'all eyes on me' ego bullshit. None of what you do will effect my business one way or the other. It is your money to lite on fire or do what you want with. However, MetaMan, and Les, made valid points so I commented in that regard. Many people in this thread, and over the years, have not agreed with you on various issues tenderfoot. A note for future reference,.. if you are going to hang your balls out there and be arrogant about it with a 'kick me' sign on them. You should know what to expect. Carry on, and grab a kleenex. ![]() |

Even if you spent 100s of 1000s shooting... And never got a dollar from the content itself.. compare your 100s of 1000s to the tens of Ms mainstream spends for the same amount of traffic, if as much,
