Yea, I agree. I'm still trying to figure out that business model?
Own a tube site, and a "per minute" site?

I guess it works if you ONLY give a tease, but they don't?
I dunno, seems counter productive to me..

I own paysites and have some clips for sale stores. I agree with you, I cant figure out the business model of giving it all away. I think its because its not a business model.

I GOT IT!

The head of Vivid just said so, on CNBC. (They are re-running the Porn/pleasure special, probably or ratings...THEY -CNBC- Know their business model!)

Anyhow, Steven, (head of vivd, who one time sued AEBN's Tube site for having their content on it, then, later on, made a deal with them to put their content on their tube site......) well, he said "Who knows, maybe some day we'll be giving away our content for free to sell advertising on our website."

Okeee.....dokeee.....

How d'yall feel about that?

In my opinion I think Steve likes publicity for the sake of publicity.

Ive been told bad press is better than no press at all.

Hasn't that pretty much been the big complaint against certain industry players? The buying of that advertising space?

Off topic, but I would expect to start seeing that bleed off.

It is why his comment is so outrageous, because Vivid in theory is at the TOP of the food chain, not the bottom. They should be the ones buying banner spots from others, not selling them. If Vivid is using their content to only sell dating sites and push penis pills, then you know that there isn't any money left in porn.

I'm not seeing where you get Hirsch using his content to push penis pills, but ok.

If he is going to sell advertising on porn sites, what exactly do you think they would be pushing? Coca Cola isn't lining up to be on the vivid site. What else is there?
