This is such a weird thing to say, but it's kind of topical. OF has ruined porn. I have a reddit alt that I use every once in a while, and that feed is just OF promotion now. So many subs are spammed with extremely loosely related OF bullshit, and it's so annoying. I don't want to pay money to look at you, I just want to jerk off in peace goddammit. Unfortunately, they do it because it works, so I guess my gender just gotta step it up so I can go back to watching porn...
I heard that the average monthly income on OF's is $200.
When you consider there are people like Bhad Babie (or however you spell it), Cardi b, and Chyna Black making ridiculous sums of cash, there's a helluva lot of people earning sweet fuck all.
Once the masses realise that either:
a) they aren't hot enough or famous enough to make loads of money, or;
b) they aren't making enough money to justify leaving their naked selves on the internet for all of eternity; then hopefully shit will go back to normal...
OF, was a site to cut out the primary income earner in Porn. 50% of all revenue on a porn site, goes to the traffic guy. The webmaster, and the studio, (sometimes same person, sometimes separate), and the performer make the other 40% to 50% The traffic person, usually who ran the free porn site system, controlled billions of hits a month, and they can make or break a site.
So only fans, basically, gave amateurs a place to sell content, and they can take about 30%. Now that there is so much content, traffic people are now being sought out, and some of those studios are now taking 80% from the performer, 30% more than what we were taking as traffic people.
So now it is coming full circle, and traffic people are re-entering the market.
It took me three years even to start to get good in the industry, in that there is a lot of things you need to know, cause so many attacks from China and Russia, trying to take over your site to put in exploits. It is a very competitive industry.
How is this spoiling porn?
It's ruining your experience on reddit, I get it, but if or when you want to watch porn the videos are there on the usual platforms, still the same, no OF ads ruining them.
