Nope though did sign up for dating site bit more than few years ago though now.

Goethe 09-03-2019 04:58 AM

No. Bit of a worry isn’t it, trying to flog something you wouldn’t pay for yourself.

CaptainHowdy 09-03-2019 05:09 AM

If a scene on a particular site gets my rut going I might sign up for a trial or so.

Same. But business is business, you dont need to be consumer of your own product. When i was running caffe bar, i wasn't touching anything, i was drinking only plain water with sugar unless someone paid me drink :1orglaugh

trevesty 09-03-2019 05:17 AM

Other than tests, no... why would I? I can just hit up someone for a promo pass anyways.

There's a few I probably would if I wasn't in the industry, though.

escorpio 09-03-2019 06:52 AM

Fuck no. Porn is free. Weed is legal. It's a great time to be alive.

It's all about supplying what the customer really wants to see... :2 cents:

freecartoonporn 09-03-2019 07:03 AM

nope, but i got mad, when i found out that one specific video was being sold on pornhub for 5+ bucks.

i dont mind paying 29,99 for a month for full access but god damn, 5 bucks for single video and without resell rights. fuck no.

lol - so true...

Rochard 09-03-2019 09:14 AM

Nope. I have never paid for porn. If I want access to someone's site, I would just ask for it.

AmeliaG 09-03-2019 09:08 PM

If working in the bakery gets you all the free cookies you could ever want to eat and then some, that doesn't mean that people who are not bakers have no reason to pay for cookies.

adultchatpay 09-03-2019 10:06 PM

I can't remember spending a dime for porn.
I got them all for free and exclusive :) When you market porn, you need to see it first.

Jewish life hacks ^^

Seriously, Jewish kids are taught this shit at like 6 years old, and then Christian bakers wonder why they get sued for adhering to their beliefs.

Paul Markham 09-04-2019 12:45 AM

Yes. I signed up to a site that had so much in the archives that wasn't available for free anywhere I had to if I was going to enjoy it.

There should be another part to the question, how many have watched porn in the last two years who would have had to pay if there was no free porn. If the answer is none, then you shouldn't be very good in a business of selling porn.

Vegans make lousy butchers.

SBJ 09-04-2019 01:10 AM

yes, I have paid for porn in the last 6 mos. I like some Vintage porn and I've yet to see good vintage porn program that I would promote so I just paid for it.

I've also paid for a $10-20 clip here or there at mayvids maybe once or twice a year.

I think the attitude that webmasters shouldn't pay for porn is sorta wrong. I mean if we wouldn't pay for it then why in 2019 should we think anyone will pay for it?

I remember like 15 years ago a webmaster told me that he would join websites he thought about promoting just to see if it's something that a surfer would enjoy. I get that today that isn't possible with how little porn sells but I respected that guy and his ethics.

tornell 09-04-2019 05:59 AM

all depends on traffic

EddyTheDog 09-04-2019 06:40 AM

This is the one I paid for - Gay Warning - https://www.trigafilms.com

I so wish he would do an affiliate prog - He has said he would but to be honest I think he has got it sussed by not doing it...

celandina 09-04-2019 06:41 AM

I think OP should re phrase the question.Most of us here make or sell porn. So we do not likely consume it. Then of course there are trolls and theives here who steal content in various ways and are proud of being thieves. In my view they can go :321GFY:321GFY:321GFY

it's been years since I've seen anyone drink sugar water..... 1973 or 1974. I thought it was a southern thing

PornDude 09-04-2019 10:39 AM

Not really, 10min clips are just good enough for me.

What about before you were in the industry?

That goes to everyone over 40.

Fuck yes. Spent about $600 a year on mags, VHS and DVD in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Probably have spent less than $50 on internet porn since 2000.

Thanks, tubes! :thumbsup

CurrentlySober 09-04-2019 11:03 AM

Nope. Used to when I wanted to check out a site etc, but not recently.

Probably because I shot a lot of porn myself, and I shot it exactly to my personal tastes. Plus as I am in them, when I watch them I enjoy the memories of the fun time that I had...

bronco67 09-04-2019 11:06 AM

I have a WankVR account...and it's worth it.

Teenagers these days probably can't believe their luck...

SilentKnight 09-04-2019 01:54 PM

Only once - and it was a site that had very unique niche, hi-quality content that wasn't available free anywhere.

Most times we were offered freebie passes from affiliates/colleagues.

It's not just teenagers, they expect porn to be free.

Strange that in an industry that once sold porn for it's living now gets most of it for free and left to sell what's left. That huge market we thought we had because the Internet was everywhere, we decided to give it away for free.

For some producers it seemed the mentality was "Hmm...the more I give away for free, the more promotional material and exposure...hence more traffic and sign-ups."

I used to see some producers give away vast amounts of their full-size images thinking it would lure more sign-ups. And quite a number of those same producers folded shop with the rest of 'em.

We even adopted that thinking for a while when sign-ups slowed down - we'd increase the freebies everywhere - especially Usenet newsgroups in the earliest days.

You're right, the thinking was always give away more for free to get more traffic = equals more sign ups. Until we had billions getting off to free porn and a tiny fraction buying. Yet every year we saw a huge drop in ratios, from 1-50 to 1-200 to 1-1,000 and today 1-30,000.

Few stopped to think "Can we get 1-50 with all the surfers we have now?"
