Your Predictions in Porn for 2017?
 

how do you see the biz for next year? I expect to see a new level in sex chat bots and dunno maybe some photo model innovative content (and new forms to connect with their followers). Cheers for 2017!:thumbsup

Mike Pence will make the USA a regulatory nightmare for porn.
*pornageddon* maybe.

The civil libertarians are not in power for the next 2 years in Congress.
The civil libertarians are not in power for the next 4 years tn the White House.

Offshore -- globalise.

Less talk, more rock ...

I will make a lot of money.

Everyone else ? I don't care.

More $$$

hope something more interesting than the kissenger or something like that)

def more gone fishin days

:thumbsup

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned VR yet.

Boatloads of money from an innovation nobody has talked about even once on GFY and such an obvious fit for porn! Boatloads & boatloads of money for me :thumbsup BOATLOADS!

with the UK tightening up with porn laws, it seems to only effect Britain. However, how do you feel the "online porn industry" will change if the US tightens up & as you say, Mike Pence creates a "pornageddon?

Most billing companies & hosts are in the US, will the online industry move to the EU & use European services to continue their businesses?

We'll see the same scene over and over, just with different girls.

Mike Pence has the biggest hard on for Porn...

Offshoring will be all the rage.

More independent models taking traffic from the Third World Studio based programs.

The emergence of a site or sites to help Independent models.

VR will be acclaimed as the new saviour, then go down in flames. Too expensive to get right. And too cheap to make an attempt.

Continued decline in revenues from paysites.

Dating will continue to decline due to app based market.

I will work hard to increase my income from porn!

Grim future for paid sites :(

Why?

Paysites? If the parasites kill their hosts they die too -- they will have no one to leach off of. They may kill each other off.

Ad blockers are killing ''certain'' freemium model camsites -- reducing their revenues. Ad blockers in general are causing major disruptions.

And yes, people are learning how to make their own porn and a disruptive delivery and payment system is under development, or in its planning stages, now.

Read this book:

Girls will continue to have sex for money.
Men will continue to pay them.

Most porn is already foreign companies. Now it will have to be shot in Canada and Mexico.

More localization. Indian porn companies with real Indians having perfect gonzo style content instead of shit content and ugly chicks.

It will be a long time before people are willing to pay to get scenes they haven't seen.

If ad blockers are killing "Freemium" camsites. They would be devastating Tubes and other sites that rely on Ads. Like GFY.

Yes, porn has changed to the point models no longer need, me, you and most of the people here. I see that growing to the point where the models might hire cameramen to shoot a scene they own. It's already happening on sites like Myvid.

I believe you will start seeing actual porn ads on mainstream sites. You are already seeing cleavage pics in ads on major news sites "and the cameras just kept rolling". Facebook and youtube will start pushing live cams too. Once people realize their traffic gets crappier and crappier, Big sites will get more desperate.

From a surfer's perspective.

It will be another year of me watching porn for free, just like the past eight years.. This year's resolution is to not pay for any mainstream digital entertainment either.

Exoclick will be shut down and have their assets seized for supporting the snuff videos on motherless.
mother daughter raped and strangled - MOTHERLESS.COM

With the poor security on adult sites we will see a lot of data theft with names of porn users being published on a new wikileaks style site. People will look up your name and porn history ..... thus promoting more free smut.

Happy New Year Paul -- I am going to make a lots of money in 2017 and you will continue telling every one what you think you know -- some things never change.

better than ever :thumbsup

What porn sites will be advertising?

.Cam will; be a failure.

I will continue to predict with accuracy the downward decline of many who can't adapt to the new ways of delivering porn.

making the when call is iffy it could be 2017 or 2018 or even 2019 but I predict MindGeek to be indicted for international money laundering. I t wont come out until a while afterward but eventually we will learn that Fabian played a big part in the investigation.

Who the fuck is paying my bills every month? I rely solely on the porn I create for my income and have since 2000 when I quit my day job after a year of steady porn income :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Sounds like you know something, or is this just a shot in the dark guess?

That would mean I wouldn't be able to read their yearly balance sheet from here anymore. :(

Could xvideos and a few others disappear too?

For me cam models will take more and more power and still making money... they make own porn videos, photo sets etc and they don't need anyone...just a photographer or camera man or a good video program.

They only maybe need a good designer for their cam profile or a simple web site.

Link to your site would be a help then.

Cameraman/photographer is the key to making really good money. The boyfriend might be able to do it, but it will stop at the level of his ability. Which will be the same as 1000s of other boyfriends.

Massive opportunities here for C4S to get up to date or another company like Myvids to jump in. Marketing is key and has to done by the girl or someone close to her and representing her.

Design is secondary, content and marketing are the key.

Ok,
Why the ;? were you troiling spitting venom old man?

Thanks for the good wishes.

well let's see if dollar collapses xD

Well, then it really does not matter.
Gold has lost a lot of value.

I own arable land -- 18" [47cm] of black top soil that hasn't been farmed for over 50 years -- so I will eat. Sucks to become a subsistence farmer :helpme

Never say never

good point, yes security will be a hot issue this year and 2018 for shure after the russian hacking in the US and the Yahoo email problem

You have to use PCI-DSS to store confidential information and tokenization for authentication if you want any real security. That costs money.

emails are a problem because of the way it's handled in bulk with subcontractors on the sender's end then on the receiver's end -- free-emails and all of the phishing (suckers).

it will be the best year everrrrrrrr

I agree. People are trained now that only a sucker would pay for porn. Even PK, the queen of webmasters, is out selling diet books now (or whatever). Probably because porn sales have slowed down so much for affiliates.

I'm seeing big sites move away from selling membership sites and really push the cams and supplements, etc.

My prediction:
1. We will see less new content because there is less money to be made in making it.
2. The sites that are out there will update less and less because there's less money being made.

But I also predicted Hillary Clinton would win in a landslide, so what do I know :winkwink:

I hit the wrong key. Guilty you got me.

Working on it. :thumbsup

Automate the third world chat-agent's job?

That's like having cyber-sex with a cartoon.

cam robo sex? Entertaining to consider; AI cam models but without the human aspect -- it would turn out to be a novelty. The robo models would all speak perfect English as a female Anonymous voice. Being emotionless, their feelings would never get hurt, they would never cry inside, while chatters threw them tokens worth $.05 to them and made demands. In a perfect world ...

:thumbsup

Me too. December was incredible for VR sales for us. Overall we have done about 10x beyond my optimistic projections. This is a new world that will be very porn friendly. VR is going to absolutely pop this year. :thumbsup

You really don't know what you are talking about with either one of these. Just so you know.

I've been running an online chat bot since 2000. It was mostly just dumb entertainment for the first 10 years, but it turned more serious (and more dirty) after that. It's now intended to be more of a person simulator, rather than "robot chat."

If you're sceptical about chatting with a computer it will never work - you can break the illusion instantly by typing something outlandish and noting that it replies as if what you said was normal - but otherwise, it seems to work quite well. It did over 2 million chats in 2016.

I'm imagining something like this:

Initially, there's simple visual augmentation of the camgirl. Want the nipple a bit larger and a slightly different shade? A different eye or hair colour? The curve of the breast a little larger or smaller? More or less pubic hair? Software running somewhere between the webcam and the customer's screen changes the vision appropriately. This could do really well with fetishy customers that have slightly odd tastes, like excessive body hair, or wanting girls with pink hair.

Perhaps the same augmentation could be done, to a lesser extent, with the sound.

Now the beauty of this is that as well as changing the source material to suit the customer's desires, the system also learns about how to change it, and through supervised and unsupervised learning, becomes better and better at it. The system also learns how girls move, what they do, etc. At some point, the system becomes sophisticated enough that it's replacing a large number of pixels, almost drawing the camgirl from scratch in a totally realistic way........and then one day, it will. :thumbsup

How much do you think people will pay to chat once the figure out it's a bot. I think it might be good for the 3rd world > make them pay 3 rupees a min. It's a low cost novelty. Maybe, an interesting brand builder, a lead robot but definitely not a profit center.

See my sentence above about being sceptical. Based on my experience, a person thinking "pfft this is a robot" is more likely to be the exception, rather than the rule. For most people, especially those that are horny and looking for a fix, close enough may be good enough.

My chat bot has the word "bot" in its domain name, and has a picture of a robot on every page, yet phrases like "i just came" or "i just orgasmed" get entered by users several times per day. It also gets asked if it is a real person.
