You damn the tube site owners, Stile, etc for stealing your content, but then turn around and call a company who has been called out countless times for lying to their members, using stolen pictures for profiles, and even using shady tactics like Zango to advertise, good guys, because they are under new management? Come on... Like I said, iBill is under new management, and they have stolen millions from the members of your industry, but because it hasn't affected you directly, it's none of your concern? |

Maybe I am just biased because I made enough cash from them to not work for a year or two if I wanted. They were the highest bidder after all. Quote:

I dabbled in mainstream a few years back. It will have you running back to the adult industry with you singing the praises of how good it is. Mainstream was fucking insane with fraud, and people black balling each other, ripping off anything and everything not nailed down, threats and people claiming to sue one another, nuking people's PP accounts, and anything in adult you can amplify by 20-100%. Fraud, scams, bold face rips offs. It was simply in-sane. |

The pool of money that is available to you in mainstream is so much bigger than adult it isn't even funny. |
the suing business against copyright infringing stealing porn tube owners who are laughably trying to hide behind the same law that mainstream sites like YouTube will be more lucrative than porn. what they're doing is so beyond the safe harbor of the DMCA that no judge will see it any other way.
i have no idea why your program isn't suing anybody Jay. |

In mainstream, you can close out deals in no time and people actually have some money to their name. So you can get business closed in the same day/week/month. In adult, especially on the forums, 50% can't afford anything over $100.00. 75% can't afford anything over $500.00. 90% can't afford anything over $1000.00. There are only around 7-10% of this industry who make any real money, and can swing deals. Whether for websites, content, domains, whatever. So 90% of this industry is really chasing 25% who have money, and the higher dollar deals chasing down 10%. Out of that 10%..... maybe 3-5% could be buying. So there are not many buyers across the board. That comes not only from my OWN experience. But if you talk to a couple of dozen coders, designers, content producers.... they can verify that for you. :2 cents: |

the funny thing is that some people actually say that the adult business is in it's best moment and that they are doing more sales than ever before... of that it can be possible to make a lot of money with gals, when it's know that it's an obsolete marketing strategy now, and that 95% of tgps traffic has shrinked like never before...
should we understand that those guys saying that their sales are better than ever are on the dark side now? or should we understand that they are hypocrite and r trying to show off? I totally agree with you, Jay. |

possibly one of the best quotes in years.....kudos |
If you want to point to a single thing that lead to the demise of this business, I'd point to Cogent.
Once they got into the bandwidth market prices started dropping like a rock and never came back. The people who gave away free porn in the past didn't give away less because they had business sense or any shit like that, they only gave away what they could afford to because bandwidth costs were so high. Free hosts had file size limits, etc. The amount of free porn available was constrained by the cost of bandwidth. At <$4/mbps you can give away full free DVD's and make a small profit. At $40/mbps you can only give away about 15 pictures and still make a profit, forget about movies. :2 cents: |

i thought i won't post here, but that's my point
so quote: 'This industry has turned into a bunch of parisitic, mooching, thieving, ratbastards' and my quesiton: How that occash and lordsofporn which you own run shady x-sells (completely misleading your surfers and trying to 'hide' x-sell charges) for a long long time already? |
i'm just saying that the level of hypocrisy in your posts is way too much

More immorality: selling customers' email to spammers!
I signed up for a couple of sites myself, to test them out.
Result: I got spam which can only be from these sites. I never used this combination of name and email for anything else. Now spamming the customers, this is pretty bad! I thinkt the payment processors maybe did not do it, in at least one occasion I needed to contact customer service, maybe someone picked up the email there. One of them, I pursued them relentlessly writing to all their sponsors, until they got kicked out and the spam ceased. Interestingly, nobody spams their affiliate webmasters. Probably they know that it would have consequences. Nowadays, I found a setup for my email server (qmail?) to create an infinity of email addresses, I just use these email addresses now. But I feel bad enticing customers to sign up, knowing that their email address might get spoiled forever. |

Because people like you Jay, you can't think 2 steps ahead. You will do business with the people fucking over the industry as long as it is not happening to you, you don't care. Then when it happens to you, you make threads like this how its all gone to shit and you just want to leave. You are part of the problem for a couple reasons. For be apathetic and not doing anything sooner to help stop things from getting to where they are now. For doing business with the "bad" companies and helping them to prosper. For not giving a shit about anything that was happening until it happened to you, when easy logic shows if it was happening to others it would happen to you sooner or later. How can you bitch about people and then in the same breath say "oh but i would do business with them, sell them stuff". /Moron |

They are taking advantage of a loophole to build huge brands. Not to mention to get their foot in the door on licensing deals. If they don't, they are leaving that opportunity on the table for someone else to grab. Eventually, the DMCA will be amended somehow, but even when that happens and they "lose," they will STILL win, because they've already created huge brands. Thoughts? |

All the bullshit in the past was people trying to make a billion and 1 dollars. The bullshit happening today is the people trying to make enough to pay their bills. Different reasons, same bullshit. |
