The Online Smut Economy

Noticed this on my news.google.com page this morning:
Sex on the Internet: Sizing Up the Online Smut Economy

It's mostly a fluff piece, but I think their "porn veteran" expert gets one thing right and then one thing very wrong. What do you think?

LOL, yeah, you have to be rich and lucky to become a camgirl. :lol:

I have a bridge to sell you if you believe that, bro. Not you, Inky, the "porn expert" they interviewed.

 

[inkydoo]

Yeah, the whole "hard for new people to break into it" thing seemed totally wrong. The only thing I can think is that he was referring to setting up a site (like MFC) or a studio, but that's not how it read at all.

well he did say that even if you find someone awesome to cam for you, you still have to put down a ton of money to make it happen, so that kinda clued me in to the fact that he was talking about starting a site or studio.

Oh, I thought he was talking about it being expensive to become a performer.

Yeah, there's money you need to put down to start a site to be sure.

But signing up on an extant site and becoming a performer? Pff. :hello2:

Keys to making a site:
1. create account on these forums.
2. start a thread announcing your site
3. promise unrealistic returns to lure girls to the site
4. create a new account to lose your bad reputation
5. start a new thread announcing your new site
6. etc.
