I was having a discussion with a friend about the adult industry the other day. It was a discussion, as many here have admitted to having with friends who are considering getting into adult. You basically give them all the good, bad and ugly so they realize it’s work, and most of it not glamorous.
Anyway, in going through the history over my 13 years, it really made me chuckle. While not completely, here are some of the highlights.
Most of the early pay sites in adult were built on people stealing each others stuff. They later went on to run BROgrams and become BROS of the industry. While not everyone, this was how a number of them started back then.
When the Hun first came out, many bitched about his business model. He later dominated the market with his traffic and everyone tripping over themselves to get listed.
When TGP’s first came out, they were going to be the death of this industry.. giving away free porn. They later went on to be the business model of adult online for the better part of a decade. The same said of MPG’s, and same followed suit.
Fake dating profiles were big drama back in the day. As people would bitch about Sophie Moone or Jenna Jameson supposedly showing up as living in their town and wanting to talk to them. Yet, many in adult have promoted both dating and cams.
People gripe about celebrity sites and that whole ball of wax. Yet most affiliates have, or still do, promote celebrity sites. As we have seen recently from all those griping about not getting paid. Or searching for new programs to promote.
People endlessly bitch about cross sales, and upsells for years. But never bothered to break out a calculator and figure out how they were paid apparently. Especially, how a pay site charging $29.95 a monthly, or with a $3 trial could pay you $75-150.00 per sale.
For the past two and a half years people have been crying and whining about tube sites. Yet Brazzers and Manwin have went on to dominate the adult industry. Not only in content, but in traffic. They are in a position to have bought up the vast majority of heavy hitters in the tube traffic game, and control a huge chunk of adult industry traffic.
Hun, Legendary Lars, BROgrams, Manwin, the leaders and pioneers of the adult industry.
