Sell Your Failures To Content Thieves
A few weeks ago I saw that Topbucks had queitly gotten rid of Yappo after a couple of years pushing the brand.
So I got curious and did a little poking. Seems the Kevin Ho and crew quietly sold a VOD platform to Xtube. No notification to webmasters. No mention anywhere. This is going to be a long thread but I ask you... do you think this is any different than what GFY did with the skinning of tubes?

Re: Sell Your Failures To Content Thieves
I'd like to know what some of Yappo's studios have to say. Perhaps they're not aware of the situation either.
I'd have to rank this right about equal with GFY skinning the board with illegal tubes.

And if you look at the site you certainly cant tell that theyve sold out. But its business as usual there with their sites that have 2 prechecked cross sales 1 for RealityCash /Playboy/GFY and one for Gigacash/Xbiz/Alec Helmy. She made out like it was too much trouble to remove playboy from the prechecked list. Toby brought up maybe they should create sites that didnt require 2 prechecked cross sales to be profitable.

Re: Sell Your Failures To Content Thieves
There is nothing on the Yappo site or any information sent to affiliates that I am aware of that say "we sold the site" or "we bought the site". The phone numbers and such on the site still point to topbucks, and the custodian of records is still the same, etc. All of the comments on the site news are from Kristen. If anything, it appears to be a "dormant" program that hasn't had an update in 6+months, not something that was sold to people trying to make a go of a site like this.
As for the cross sales, well... what can I say?

Re: Sell Your Failures To Content Thieves
I don't know any of these people, and haven't done business with them, but I do wonder....
Why do you all seem to think they SHOULD tell you about the inner workings of their business? Are you shareholders? Are they a public company? But make no mistake, I'm not condoning crosschecked sales. I'm on public record (and in print/Xbiz magazine) against cross checked sales. I'm just wondering about affiliates that feel they are entitled to know internal ownership info?

Re: Sell Your Failures To Content Thieves
Not seen much talk from the new owners.
Xtube probably keeps them plenty busy ripping and reencoding other peoples videos.

Re: Sell Your Failures To Content Thieves
I know the customers arent getting what they paid for....

Re: Sell Your Failures To Content Thieves
Apparently Yappo is owned by Manwin now?

Re: Sell Your Failures To Content Thieves
Yappo must have got put in jail with Fabian.
They been fixing that site for all these years now. I guess this significance of this is more apparent now.

Re: Sell Your Failures To Content Thieves
As I recall, Fabian was the head of the company (I forget the name) that owned Xtube and his VP of acquisitions was the asshat Bob Rice.

Re: Sell Your Failures To Content Thieves
Notice the date I started raising hell about this and now years later it suddenly becomes a crisis.
