There is nobody interesting or innovative left here

[Huggles]

This entire board is just coasting, we're on a decline and there is not 1 creative or artistic person here

People are either rich, insulated and disconnected from reality, or they're struggling and applying for jobs

The only person with any innovative bone left in their body is basically me, and I'm only forced to be in the adult industry because everything in the "real world" is totally fake, staged, and gay!

In general "innovation" is just rearranging your predecessors' ideas in different ways. You can only invent the wheel once, and even that was watching people rolling boulders downhill until the Eureka moment.

Yeah we gotta find a new way to steal content, put it online, and then get google to only display Xhamster, Xvideos, and Pornhub links...

Homie, you know I got love for you.

But you are delusional. Put your phone down and look around your house for a few minutes. Now ask yourself if being the only guy on GFY that lives like that is "innovation".

Not roasting, you share everything.

[CaptainHowdy]

Innovation for innovation's sake will get you nowhere . . .

Bruuuuuuh

Look at porn in 2024

Look at google in 2024

"surfing porn" or hell, even surfing the internet in 2024 is really, really bad.

Do you remember using google 10+ years ago and searching for topics and getting a ton of great sources for content and being able to find new shit easily and be entertained?

Try surfing porn or surfing topics you like now, in 2024, on Google. Google sucks soooooooo hard.

Every porn link is now xhamster, xvideos, or pornhub, practically. It is horrible!

And the sites themselves haven't even improved in the last 5 years. Everything is the same.

[King Mark]

Your problem in a nutshell is being anti-Progressive, politically and financially.

You want everybody and everything to stay the same, the way YOU like it, and that's that. Anything else turns you into a victim, in your eyes.

Yes, I remember using google 10+ years ago and finding great things. I also remember forums, forums were my thing. My prefered social media format to hang out in and my bread and butter. Just like tubes swallowed porn, social media swallowed forums.

I could have chosen to be a victim and let the world progress without me while I try to conserve the non-conservable like you, or adapt. I adapted, followed the flow and moved 99% my forums to Reddit where all the forum traffic is (except one, they protested and it managed to stay more active than GFY). Not only do I not have to give a fuck about hosting and scripting anymore for those, but Reddit is a renewable monster that feeds itself traffic of people that like to use forums ⚖️

I'm not in porn anymore (in the conventional way), but many of my friends have done the same with their adult shit and tubes. The ones who didn't either didn't need to or are Huggling around in conservatard despair.

For surf time I get my current squeeze off moments on Reddit from women posting their own original shit (no CS), with their own cashapp and onlyfans links in their profiles. Can't remember the last time I searched google (or a tube for that matter) for something to squeeze off to, personally. That all seems vintage at this point.

Is this because nobody commented on your latest video?

Pretty high opinion of yourself there. Nobody else is creative, artistic or innovative other than you? Really?

You have no idea of anybody's abilities outside of what they choose to show here on the board. To think that you are the end all and be all of artistry, creativity and innovation is remarkably ignorant, even for you.

You really need to grow some dignity, ya know?

Now go fuck yourself.

Well, I guess I better build a new and different porn site... the last "innovative" site I built, none of the auto-playing webm carousels could be read by google, so there was basically 0 content to index. And it was Wordpress-based, so automatically limited in so many ways. Got my feet wet for coding, though.

There has got to be a new way to show off porno, other than the same old, same old tube sites.

[offjack]

Pfffft, look OP, I'm 26, but when I was a kid, my pops had a bunch of hip hop magazines and in the back pages were ads for porn

That and being online a lot at that time, go figure, made me wanna get involved in porn marketing

I remember seeing an ad for some bullshit pharmecutical, the "mascot" was an angry penis with eyes, that image stuck with me for better or worse

Shit, right now, I freelance and I'm working on an online softcore mag/newsletter, I wanna be the [adult swim] of porn!

I don't seriously think that the innovative and uber creative title

"I made a british columbia election music video"

is exactly click bait in a primarily American porn board.

[sarettah]

bump for creativity and innovation.

Go to a few shows. Meet actual industry people, and your opinion will quickly change.

This board does not represent this industry at all. If you base your opinion on what you see here, you're severely limiting yourself. There is so much more going on than in these threads and what you read on Twitter.

Every time I see people like this at shows, they tend to only hang around their own people and rarely mingle. Hopefully this person goes to a convention and proves me wrong.

Speaking of shows, are there any in Chicago still?

Tubes have dominated the SERPS since 2008, isn't that why you used to upload to them as an affiliate?

This board really hasn't had anything to do with the adult industry for ten years.

I was amazed at how many people were in Prague, and especially how many younger people.

I guess nobody here likes to show off the projects and things they are working on?

Are there any new products or websites that really stand out from the crowd in 2024?

Nope. It's usually a waste of time to have to deal with the trolls who will shit over anything anybody makes.

If you want to see what people are working on, you have to actually network and talk to people outside of this board.

The days of easy answers and easy money are over.

Thankful lived through that time.
