Yeah, but you have to put things in perspective. For example the average Joe in my area is lucky to make $10 an hour working 40 hours a week. And that work is more than likely hard backbreaking work. Now if someone is making the same $400 a week only working 2 hours a day running their "mom & pop" tgp then aren't they ahead of the curve? Not only are they making the same money for LESS hours work, it's easier work and they can make their own schedule. If that $400 is not enough it's not like one couldn't get a real job for the other 30 hours and even if they made only $8 and hour their total income would equal $16 an hour which is 60% more than the average Joe in my area. So I guess it's all in how you look at it.

I have loads of free time. I suppose I could do less fucking around and get a job somewhere and earn some extra cash, but right now I choose not to. But at least it's a choice and not a necessity.

Thats your area. Some areas with a high cost of living will be affected much more. I think the point Jayeff was making was that mom and pops were making "STUPID money" up until a few years ago. I call it stupid money because it was so easy stupid people could make a lot of money doing it. Now with increased competition and more advertisers out there (big and small) to be successful you need to be very intelligent and savy at what you do. You also need to have more resources available to you (money to invest and staff to employee). I am not saying this is the way it is in all cases but there are less and less ways to make money online that involve spending a couple hours of work and no money (like making a simple webpage and submitting it to yahoo, those days are gone.) NOW in most cases, you need the resources and intelligence to make it.

mom and pop's typicaly do not have those resources or intelligence to evolve and keep making a lot of money. Therefore, when their checks drop a good bit of them will quit and go back to their professions, especially those who live in a high cost of living location where a couple hundred a month isn't even enough to pay the rent.

Yes I believe I stated that many times.

This is not new. Almost every new industy had an era of "stupid money". Then it matures and most of the competition drops out.

Once again happens in every industy. Improvements in farming technology means less farmers were needed. Most had to give up and go work in a factory. How many mom & pop "5 & dime" stores have gone under because Wal-Mart, Fred's, Dollar Store etc moved into town?

Those that can survive will, those that can't will have to move on. Just the way it is.

so you agree with me :upsidedow

Seems to me these sites are a legal nightmare and will eventually get boxed into a corner by the government


thats not before they give away everyones farm first, but the concept of letting any random yahoo upload whatever porn files they want and then playing them publicly sounds like a really bad idea to me if you don't like courtrooms

AEBN's answer on another board about pornotube.com

Please notice the part where they say, if you aren't a partner of AEBN, sorry charlie.

Of course!

Beta Phase II features should be rolled out over the next week (maybe two because of the holiday) that will dispel a lot of the fear and loathing you see going on. Of course, I'm talking about the real fear and loathing - not the manufactured nonsense spouted by certain people who have agendas.

My internal motto for x/qpeeps is "everyone makes money". Pornotube is no different. Actually, not everyone makes money. If you partner with AEBN you have the opportunity. Otherwise, sorry! For example, we won't let "Big Bob's Streaming Pile of VOD" use the money making features of the site.

The goals of the site are:

* Support our cash company partners.
* Support our studio/manufacturer partners
* Support our affiliates
* Generate shitloads of traffic for all of our partners (and ourselves)
* Keep fusionx gainfully employed

BTW - that's not in any specific order

No one else has the balls or the bandwidth to do this on a large scale.

if you can't understand what I am saying then no point in reading any further. Here are the cliff notes.

- free porn is not going away, bitching about it is a waste of time.
- sell something that can not be giving away for free (live content, interraction).
- Things will ALWAYS change, so you better as well or you will be left behind.
- There is an oppertunity to make money in everything, just takes a little creativity to find it. People who spend time bitching about problem instead of thinking of solution are never going to accomplish anything.
