Steve Lightspeed - I'm not trying to pick on you for no good reason
 

As it would appear in this thread.

It just annoys the shit out of me to see you fall from grace like this. You had the girls, you had the notoriety and most importantly you had the fucking traffic. You could have easily done something GREAT if you could stop getting pissed at the way things are and just work with what you have. Instead you are shooting yourself in the foot with a fucking rocket launcher and bragging about it the entire time.

Posting now for future reference, your shame and sue campaign will be an epic failure. Not only that, but you will singlehandedly ruin any chance you have of doing something amazing with your efforts.

It's fucking sad, and you are way too hardheaded to stop.

:Oh crap

This must be the 'tube killer' he had mentioned a year or so back.

Drown them in paperwork.

Did this really need a seperate thread?

At the time you hadn't replied. I figured you were snoozing and the other didn't address you personally so I figured small chance you'd see it.

I wrote the same there but I understand your frustration. I just think you're blowing your chance to do something epic with porn considering your position at the moment. I also think the endeavor will be counter-productive overall.

From the support I've received so far, I'd guess you are in the minority. Time will tell. As far as "doing something epic", I made it this far without stealing, cheating, or owing money to anyone. That IS epic in my book. :thumbsup

Steve Lightspeed

I have one question for you, do you still work with the top tier girls in your portfolio or are you just pushing premade content?

QFT right there. Never a rogue programmer, no "SL is stealing my content" threads, no "SL owes me money" threads, no card-banging threads, nothing nasty from a google search. Congrats.

Everyone should emulate this business model.

Actually, Jordan Capri is sitting on my lap right now, and Tawnee Stone is in my kitchen fixing me a nice meal. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

you know nothing - steve could bring out jordan capri today and struggle to do 20 sales a day - that's what's happened from piracy, thanks to Brazzers and all the rest.

steve had no different traffic then anybody else with solo sites, you should see what's happened to those sites that used to send lightspeed 50 sales a day - can't send 3 today.

I didn't tell him to do the same old, same old. I am well away of how the market has changed but there are things he could be doing within the current system to clean up like it's 1999.

Come on man, there are several sites out there that keep the models actively involved. I was just asking if you were one of them.

Why aren't you doing these things yourself then? I've never even heard of your solo models.

Still working on your stand up routine :winkwink:

like what - a massive campaign of social media site e-whoring poor saps into joining dating and cam sites using webcam bots using footage of his models?

i don't think steve wants to make money that way.

Honest answer, I'm way too lazy to deal with all of the laws covering porn so I never put my own sites online. That's not the point though. Nobody is knocking what you've done. In fact, it's fucking amazing how successfully you've marketed some of your girls. I can say Jordan Capri or Tawnee Stone just about anywhere and everyone will know who I'm talking about. All this means is that you are in the perfect position to do something big, you already have the exposure.

Whatever gave you that idea? Social media is a great source but using videos of Jordan Capri to sell cams is retarded.

Mutt, you have an eye for amazingly beautiful girls as well. Once you understand that the paysite model will never recover maybe you can put your resources to better use as well. :2 cents:

prove you know what your're talking about and i'll be happy to pay you a handsome consulting fee. :)

Really? I must have misread your comment. :helpme

you admittedly have nothing to do with adult but some non-executed ideas so fuck off.

I'll keep that in mind. ;) I know for certain that you wouldn't touch my pet project with a 10 foot pole, it's something completely different in the solo girl niche and not an easy sell to those that rely on the regular paysite model. It's going to take a special girl or girl / producer combo to even attempt it. That said, you were literally the first person I thought of when I started tossing around the idea. By the time you have enough proof you can just copy what has already been done.

Well, I was addressing everyone with that comment but I'm going to have to say that it holds true for you as well. I joined one of your sites long ago and there was so stunningly little content inside that I couldn't believe people would ever join and not cancel immediately. Even if you've increased the content tenfold over the years the market has changed in such a way that it would still not be worth $30.

When I say that I mean to the average consumer. I know that some people will pay to see their favorite girls no matter what but I think even you'd agree that your membership numbers are not where you'd like them to be. People expect more bang for their buck these days, especially when you can watch thousands of videos for no bucks at all.

i remember lightspeed...

I think piracy has some factors but actually it's very little impact. the truth is lightspeed content is kinda shit. the porn trend and public taste is for more rough kinky sex, not some fake ass bitch who's age is magically 18 for the past 10 years.

hi i'm just passing though but i still miss the days where i made 10 sales in one day for Stacy Bride LOL.. :thumbsup:thumbsup

Thanks for proving my point! They ARE watching thousands of my videos for no bucks at all.

Sure, but they wouldn't be paying even if all of your content disappeared from Tube sites overnight. They'll just find another free video to spank it to.

Why do you even debate these fools, Steve?

You should have a picture of Tawnee Stone lighting your bong while you and a couple of hotties relax on a giant pile of money at some Caribbean resort and just post it whenever some idiot tries to break your balls.

Right, so instead he sues random surfers since he can not make any money otherwise... how is that better? I'm confused...

Also, none of the above is needed. There are plenty of paysites out there that are growing... the paysite game obviously still works...

Blaming others for your mistakes is just an easy way out... that excuse never worked in the past and it never will in the future.

OK WHO GIVES A FUCK WHAT LIGHTSPEED PRODUCES NOW - the dude is paving the way for others to follow suit with regard to battling the scum puke Pirates. All you rich FUCKERS who made yours back in the day, and now just rest on your cushy laurels while the biz goes to SHIT, and don't give a fuck about the biz because your have your golden parachutes ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

You made milliions in the gold rush? - GIVE BACK! Battle these PIRATE FUCKS with some of the fast easy money you made back in the day so there is still a pay site model going fwd...

All you whales should have banded together a long time ago to battle piracy you greedy lazy fucks.

You are doing a great job Steve and helping everyone!! Keep fishing out them pirates!!

slutboat... we battle piracy all the time, I have sued quite a few sites in the past, but I do not run around and brag about it like a little child with a new toy.

Thanks Manwin keep up the good fight.. but wait... hmmm why do I hear so many people accusing you guys of shady tube shit.. any response to those claims?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sure, and Sexinyourcity never stole content or designs from anywhere? Pornhub doesn't have stolen content it or never did.

You should be banned from the board. You and your whole company should be booted out just like Xbiz should be.

slutload, because people do not understand the concept...

Why not sue the uploading or downloading pirates? They're money and not suing them is leaving money on the table. Your fear is people build a war chest to come after you for your list of IPs. Let suing the little fish pirates pay for suing the big fish pirates. :thumbsup

thats the best you can do???

people dont understand the "concept" of why giving away 20 minute videos for free - with blazing FAST speed and FAST fast forwarding ability, is GOOD for the industry? - whether or not you happen to have purchased a big library of old shit from a content studio? OR just pretending that a "USER" uploaded it?

Oh I'm sure you have sued company's for pirating content from some of your flagship websites... but tell us - biggest of the big - Manwin boy - what exactly is it about your tube network that we don't understand?

Finding that special girl is very tough. After 30 years in the business I know. About 1 in 10 girls you meet are good. 1 in 100 are very good. 1 in a 1,000 are special. Then keeping her special is your next problem. Most girls get stale doing this work, they just lose it either by going off the boil or becoming Pre Madonnas.

Your next problem is paying her. Forget about a rev share type deal. A special girl wants cash on the table. Most decent girls can earn $1,000 a week being non exclusive. A special one can earn more. Can you afford $50,000 a year + bonuses to keep her happy and working?

And then you have the problem of dealing with her boyfriends who want her to stop or think she could earn more if she turned the screws on you.

Very few companies employ girls under contract for long. The above are a few of the reasons.

And here's another reason your "special girl" theory is wrong. Put a special girl in front of a mediocre to average shooter and she's not special anymore.

Agreed and said it from day 1 of joining the adult Net. After a sponsor has paid all the other costs little is left for the content of a site.

Its sad to say but i think your fighting a losing battle.

Hollywood was sending out law suits to users of kazaa - they figured out it would take around 3000 years to do them all.

3000 YEARS.

It SUCKS tube sites are changing the way business is done online, it really is.

But the internet is changing all the time. Adapt, or die.

Did you all really think it was going to last forever?

Im sure my reply is going to be unpopular - But i only speak the truth.

Shit i dont like it, my tgps are dying and my sales are going down, but what can i do? Sit on my ass and hope its going to go away?

People understand the concept only too well.

You know, with each passing day your arguments are beginning to read more and more like Gideon's gibberish.

Do yourself a favor and go to bed.

Have you guys seen FUX.com?

Holy shit is staggering the sheer quantity and quality of the video - FAST speed and the ability to fast forward INSTANTLY to any point in the video... Is this a Manwin property? Is the "Concept" we are supposed to learn to understand and love?

check out their 2257 - Yea this is a "VIDEO SHARING SITE" give me a fucking break..

Guys like Lightspeed should be going after THESE FUX! (but oh sorry I'm sure you get a large part of your remaining sales from Manwin traffic, am I wrong?)

Best watch that Nathan's pirates don't board your boat and carry off all the sluts.

Yea, I know... we're all idiots, none of us understand the law, it won't work, we do not understand the concept... yadda, yadda... you say the same thing in every thread, we get it. We're all just dummies. Thanks. :thumbsup

The truth is, your very livelihood is on the line. Without people who steal these movies, they can not upload them to your tubes. I don't need to tell the rest of that story, you know how it goes.

Why else would you be posting over, and over, and over again in Steve's threads if you know it to be a waste a time? I know that if I was worth millions of dollars and owned the largest content library in the universe (did I quote that right?), I wouldn't be wasting my time posting on GFY of all places or giving my 2 cents to people who I thought were idiots who didn't understand anything. But you know what may be coming, that's why you can't stop posting about it.

The bottom line is this, we don't know the outcome of any of this, but all of your postings show your nervous about it. You are following Steve around from thread to thread like a lap dog. Hardly the actions of a man who is so wealthy and with such a large business.

Dwb, we get 400 new videos a day from studios that own the licenses... Trust me, I am in no way worried about my livelihood...

Regarding your 'I am too rich to post on gfy' remark. I care for the industry. I think steve is making a mistake. And I stand up for what I believe in.
