We all know that ned02 knows EVERYTHING there is to know about the porn industry! Happy?

And I am so totally grateful for that because I really don't want to piss anyone off. But just to steer this thread away from hostility, I'm still curious to know, as a newbie, how one competes with pornhub.com and all the other sites just like them? Because before I came here, that was my definition (as just a person out there in the world) of what a free porn site was. So you can understand my confusion and why every time someone said that I didn't have a freesite or that's not a freesite confused the wholly hell out of me. The definition applies here, to the giant network of sites and webmasters and I get that now but it no longer applies to the world of surfers at large. The industry is being stomped on and stomped down by these massive and truly free porn sites and that's my question or statement: Is doing what worked ten years ago even valid now? And I'm not questioning anyone's intellect or ability. Obviously, many of you have created incredible empires and that is very impressive but I would be lying if I did not tell you that those empires are under serious threat. If Vivid can't figure out how to stem the losses and the numbers keep going down.....?????

Last night, I couldn't stop thinking about what the past few years have meant for adults working in the porn industry (as in the models/actors) I now believe that those people are being horribly exploited but it's not the porn industry that's doing it. It's the fucknuts at Pornhub, etc... I thought of the girls and the guys who expose themselves for the sake of making a living only to have it stolen away and that's sad. There's very little sympathy out there in the mainstream world for these people. It's much easier for Bono to go whine about his music being stolen..... no one wants to listen to a pornstar, they only want to watch it for free and then lie about it.

Anyway, I'll play by the rules because I don't really have a choice but I still believe that if the rules don't change, this Titanic will sink faster than it already is..... and no, I don't have a clue how things should change... But I'm pretty sure biting and snipping at each other isn't the answer
