After doing some intense TGP surfing on sites and boards for a whole week, then I´m sitting with a big question, which no one have been able to answer for me (it will probably not help posting this on Oprano, since most TGP owners are allergic to this board, but if no one answers, then just see this as a rant).
I saw a few ideas made by submiters, and sites owners, which included: - DRM video clips, which would allow a surfer to watch the video for x days, if he then opens the video clip again he would be redirected to the paysite, where its located, or get a prompt. - Video and Pics on html pages instead of direct in the browser - giving a few more chances to promote the site or product on the galleries. - Keeping the galleries as teasers, and not as pleasers... meaning less of the really good action in the porn sets, movies were free etc. - Getting rid of the free submits, and in return having either a universial paid submit pass between many tgps, or a low onetime or monthly submit pass to a each tgp. - Setting a limit on the amount of new galleries on a TGP, so everyone who are posted can get some traffic for their effort/money/content/bandwidth/time. However I also saw every single one of them getting killed by a TGP owner, with these arguments: - The DRM setup would make surfers go elsewhere when building their porn library on their computers, because they would feel scammed, when they open the same video 3-7 days later, and got prompted. - The videos and pics on html pages would make surfers go elsewhere when building their porn library on their computers, because it would be harder to save content, when the video is embedded, or the picture has a extra page. - Keeping the galleries as teasers, and not as pleasers, would make surfers go elsewhere when building their porn library on their computers, because they would not fine the really good stuff like cumshots etc. - While getting rid of the free submits, was somewhat accepted, then the idea about a low priced submit pass, that was not good, because they already had given "free" partner accounts, so those who wanted guarantee on spots should pay more? (did not really see the logic in that - free submit or free partner - they are both free?) - And final the idea of setting a limit on the amount of new galleries, well that was also accepted, but it was not because of a business concept/idea, but because it would mess with designs on TGPs, and or cost extra to review and monitor. Now, I really thought that the submiters and site owners had some good ideas, which would mean a better business model for everyone who want to make money on the internet, so I was suprised to see the ideas being thrown out so fast by TGP owners, without any debate, tryouts etc... do TGP owners really fear change so much, that they would rather keep a downward spiral going, then trying to change its course or atleast debate it. Will TGP owners evolve their mindset from counter stats to bank accounts? Or prehaps I´m just missing something, and TGP owners are already the most intelligent businessmen the world has ever seen, which means no neandertal paysite owners will ever be able to make their own TGPs, which will cater to business? Are paysites the work of neandertals or is it TGPs?
