Seeing as how I'm no longer really involved in the adult industry, for the moment anyhow, I thought some of you might like to hear an unbiased opinion on the current hot topic.
The
majority of those complaining and bitching fall into four categories:
1) Hypocrites (or have selective memories)
This industry has been full of shady practices for over a decade. It's funny how many people condone screwing surfers or their fellow webmasters as long as it benefits their pocket, but only when it's something they aren't getting a piece of do they take on an attitude of righteous indignation.
For example, there are sites that re-sell access to the same content under the guise of different site names, the issue of shady cross-sales which has been beaten to death, dating sites which 99% completely screw the members and are actually committing fraud for the most part, some dialers back in the day and so on and so forth. Yet, all quickly seems forgiven as long as they are making you money.
2) Irrelevant (you do nothing in/for this industry but just like to stir up shit for your own amusement)
Why is it the majority of those bitching make very little money in this industry if they make any at all, contribute to the industry in no positive ways and couldn't sponsor a forum or buy traffic from a broker even if they wanted to. Some might just get a kick out of stirring people up, while others are just plain 'ol attention whores.
3) Envious / Jealous (you wish you could make the money those around you are making, but have tried and failed or in some cases haven't even tried)
Then we come across those who are envious of what tubes are doing. They wish they thought of the idea first but do nothing about it. Some have even gone so far as to try, failing, then bitching they cannot compete because these giants already have tons of stolen content, they were trying to be legal, etc... I guarantee that most if not all of these people, if they could setup a structure like PornHub and gain the same level of traffic, they would instantly do it without thinking twice. The fact is, they simply can't. They aren't that good.
4) Has-beens
Here lie people who many see as industry icons or legends, who hit their primes in the golden era of internet porn likely in the 90s or very early 2000s. While many people still pay them homage and worship them as Gods, the fact is many were just in the right place at the right time or got lucky with a solid idea or lack of competition. They made (and in many cases blew) millions of dollars and most, who never had real business experience, now have had a hard time adjusting to the fact they can't just leave things on auto-pilot anymore and expect to make the same money they once did. They blame whatever comes along as the latest industry enemy as the reason for their downfall instead of looking in the mirror.
So, for the most part, to all you wannabe "Champions of Justice" I say shut the fuck up and do some actual work, it'll benefit you a lot more
You guys make the gaming industry look like angels
