Websites dying? Moving forward, younger people will prefer to purchase individual adult clips as opposed to paying for memberships at websites?

[Harry Cox]

If I remember correctly, people grew tired of the full length albums/cds only having a couple of good songs so they preferred paying for those 1 or 2 individual songs rather than paying for the entire album/cd which was usually overpriced anyway.

So will the same thing apply with adult content?

The next generation will prefer to purchase individual clips as opposed to paying for multiple memberships at different websites at $19.99 and $29.99 each.

 

[Harry Cox]

One last thing I forgot to mention.

Aren't many of the "tube" and "hub" sites now offering individual clips for sale?

If I was an up and coming content creator I would prefer that route as opposed to dealing with having to promote and operate my own website.

1) Instant traffic/following for any content provider.

2) Simple easy to use user interface that is not time consuming.

3) "tube" and "hub" sites process the payments. One less hassle to worry about. I have heard setting up a CCBILL account is a nightmare.

Yes or no?

Uh, you can do this, now - at least with PopPorn and AdultEmpire.

Yes or no?

Not necessarily. A few things:

1. Clips4Sale has been around for decades. Ever try finding something at one of their studios? Navigation at the site is difficult. This fetish site is so huge that you may need to use ten, fifteen or twenty search attempts before you even come to finding something of value.

2. Images4Sale is the sister site. Navigation in there is much better.

3. Manyvids is a real expensive platform for content creators. The payout is like 30% to 35% to the creator. With 65% to 70% going to Bella French. That's why ladies are leaving Manyvids in droves to Onlyfans, and because of the restrictions that OnlyFans just established for adult content creators; to the newest platform, Fansly.

4. As for fetish sites, another lesser known place for content creators is I-Want-Clips. Not sure of what the payout percentages are.

5. As for payment processors, Segpay has taken much of the business that CCBill used to control. Though, you cannot take CCBill out of the equation. Epoch, and NetBilling are still around as is Vendo. Least not forget Model Centro and their billing processor, CentroBill. I've only had difficulties with Vendo and CentroBill. Only two payment processors have ceased operating from back in the day, IBill and DHD Media. So when selecting a payment processor you have to choose one that is reliable. Or be like ProBiller (The Brazzers payment processor) and lose Mastercard and Visa for a week because of the newest so called scandal, Pornstar Punishment, next Girls-Do-Porn on Pornhub, then etc. ....

6. Do girls still use Go-Daddy as the precursor to a webmaster? However, they still have to learn the .html code and all of the logistics to running a website.

7. Puba creates websites for ladies, as does Vicky Vette and her VNA Network. So there are still other options around for ladies.

I am from the adult vhs/dvd generation so I am not exactly up to date with the latest trends in the industry. I am merely asking a question.

 

[Harry Cox]

Sadly I do not think many of the smartphone raised generation has the patience or the attention span to operate their very own websites.

They use cell phones as their cameras as the newest trend of POV style. Look to OnlyFans as examples. Most times, terrible results. They should hire a videographer.

 

[Harry Cox]

I agree. Awful results. I wish the days of adult movie cinemas would make a comeback.

 

[VillellaMcMeans]

Personally I don't think the trend is moving towards buying, I think the trend is going towards free and fast - freeones is the perfect name for porn site👍

'Grrrr, I wish these kids would stop riding their bikes on the path!' threads like these always end well.

Between the smartphone generation and the vhs/dvd generation, my money is on the smartphone generation for running a website.

 

[Harry Cox]

For a fan who wants to show some kind of financial support, they are more inclined to purchase individual clips as to opposed to paying a monthly membership of $29.99 plus

 

[Harry Cox]

The worst case scenario is an adult Spotify where for a low monthly price a person can stream all the adult content they want while all the content providers receive only pennies for each stream.

 

[Harry Cox]

The smartphone generation running a website has to deal with their fellow smartphone generation customers who are too cheap to cough up a monthly $29.99 for a membership.

 

[Harry Cox]

I want for the content providers to get paid as much as possible. The cost of living especially in the United States keeps rising and rising. I want for them to be able to make a decent living.

 

[Harry Cox]

Wanting for all content to be free is rather selfish. How are the content providers supposed to pay their rent?

 

[Harry Cox]

Having a massive VHS or DVD collection is much more impressive than a collection of digital content on a hard drive. Wrestling VHS and DVDs are becoming sought after again now that streaming services are censoring and removing large parts of the original footage.

 

[Harry Cox]

As a paying customer who wants to show support, I decided to take a look at a website that offers content that may or may not interest me.
Of the 30 recent updates I only see 1 or 2 that somewhat interest me.
No way am I going to pay $25.00 for a 1 month membership for the 1 or 2 updates that somewhat interest me.
If they were offered individually I more than likely would have paid for them.
In the end I end up not purchasing anything and the website does not make any money.

 

[Pornfan99]

Uh, maybe you should write Letters to the Editor, of: AVN, Payout, and XBIZ?

 

[Harry Cox]

The only thing I am guilty of is wanting for content providers to be able to make somewhat of a decent living.
