Fear of Pornotube

Hell Puppy · 07-01-2006

I find it interesting to watch everyone quake at the thought of pornotube. Lots of 'em are screaming shut it down before it kills all of us.

The common belief is that movies are the exclusive domain of paysite members areas. It is the only thing that will get people to reach for their wallets. So giving them away kills us all.

We've been protected to date by the cost of bandwidth mostly. This has kept most MGP's in the range of only a handful of movies per gallery and those are all very very short clips, often 10 seconds or so. But AEBN has the deep pockets to buy a lot of pipe.

If it makes them money, you can bet it will stick around. Just like TGP's, if someone is making a buck at it, you best figure out how to get a piece yourself because hating it and bitching on the boards accomplishes nothing but letting the industry pass you by.

Also, like most every traffic tool before it, how well it works for you will depend on how you use it. Hopefully people have learned from TGP's. If you go out there and give away the store just to get more views and higher rankings, dont be shocked when your conversation rates suck. On the other hand, use it for well done trailers, and you might actually see some good returns.

Anyone remember how BangBus got started?
