xvod-it sounds like you got in and got out and made yours, so congrats. because it's a bad time to be dealing with porn consumers at their most difficult.
people in porn-understand you've been a victim of "disruptive technology" flipping the tables of who decides what porn is worth and it's very clear the consumer is going to win because you're selling entertainment which has usually been free to the public throughout time and the public isn't sqimming in money now. the disruptive technology of the always-rising pipe length and diamater the internet is and the impossibility of shutting down the latest mode of transport for distributing free shit someone fodes before it's been replaced means you're fucked because they can live off the free porn that's out there forever and modern codecs make it the same porn that you sell for quality. YOU SIMPLY KEEP SHITTING THE BED BY MAKING MORE AND MORE PORN THAN THE PAST YEAR TO THE POINT THERE'S FREE PORN YOU COULD SIT IN A CHAIR AND WATCH AND DIE BEFORE YOU RAN OUT OF STUDIO-RELEASED MOVIES FROM THE LAST 5 YEARS. they'll download and download until you've been bankrupt for years.
most people simply will never pay more than a gallon of gas for porn again, you need to find some way of making that fact marginally-profitable
as someone familiar with business strategy who actually has real degrees and took real classes and still read articles and case studies from pompous reviews and quarterlies, it's very obvious whether someone knows what the fuck they're talking about or just overuses "business model" or "revenue stream" and has a moth-ridden undestanding of macroeconomic theory. whether some of economics is voodoo or whether it's inclusion by the nobel comittee as a member of the group considered hard "science" is irrelevant. psychology's a factor and you're just trying your best to predict it, but JESUS GFYPEOPLE REALIZE THERE ARE REAL AND IDENTIFIABLE THINGS BEGGING FOR SOMEONE TO PICK UP AND THEY'RE GOING TO MATTER. YOU MUST BE REALLY STUPID TO SAY SOME OF WHAT YOU DO WITH A STRAIGHT FACE.
today's great idea was that advertising would be the savior of porn and they could become rich providing free services like a youtube, myspace or google. YOU FUCKING IDIOTS, WALMART AND AMAZON MAKE YOU RICH THAT WAY, BUT THEY WILL NEVER PAY YOU A CENT FOR AD SPACE DIRECTLY LINKED TO A PAGE WITH DOUBLE-PENETRATION ON IT. HALF OF THE COUNTRY GETS RILED UP AT GM FOR BEING ASSOCIATED WITH A HOTEL CHAIN THAT OFFERS SOFTCORE ADULT MOVIES. DO YOU THINK IT MAKES SENSE FOR MCDONALD'S TO ADVERTISE ON PORN SITES FOR IT'S RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE? I MEAN HALF THE COUNTRY HATES PORN AND LOVES GOD AND THEY CARE. THEY REALLY DO. YOU CAN'T EVER GET THAT KIND OF MONEY. YOUR ACCESS TO ADVERTISING CAPITAL IS TERRIBLY LIMITED TO POOR COMPANIES. DUH.
the rest of chatsworth and gfy will crumble to the point the webmasters can't even make money with "niche" content or by stealing/suing each other anymore and the studios that can't cling to life through cable or selling from a catalog that contains content you could die in jail for making while shooting more content that could ruin your life any time you answer your door for the rest of your life.
you ripped people off when you first took cards in the 90's for internet content and it's not the same economy and people haven't forgotten feeling ripped-off by the webmasters most consider gods.
i will never allow my american express to be used by anyone on gfy just like i don't trust waiters to run my card themselves. your brick and mortar outlets are embarassing and overpriced by maybe thousands of percent a movie.
i will buy some music i really want or attend a movie. i feel both are overpriced and i can get hd with an antennae and did so for some time for watching sports and tv and the majority of the music i listen to is zoning out in traffic or between sets at the gym on my ipod. i bought most of the music i'll ever buy already and have it on disc or as a lossless-copy both raided and on one of my ipods. i almost cancel my cable every month and save for a few basic brooks ones, all of the ties i've ever bought cost more than my tv and internet bill amounts to. that's me, i just don't feel the need to watch that much porn so maybe it's a bigger deal for some consumers.
prince got paid 90million dollars after he'd stopped releasing hit albums, webmasters sit on gfy bragging about wealth half of the time, don't cry for me argentina because you have the public dictating that your pricing is heinous and they don't think your product is worth much, if any money.
