When was the last time you've browsed a porn-tube?
99.9997% of it is ads for OF, Patreon, or some shady paysite. The last 0.0003 is pirated hentai that hasn't been deleted yet.

How does the site being free equate to how much the stars are paid? Do you have information you're not sharing?

They definitely dont make as much as they used to before tube sites, but most of the notable ones are wealthy even by California standards. Female pornstars literally make about 5 times as much as their male counterparts. Supposedly, a lot of the actors in gay male porn are straight guys doing it because it pays way better than straight porn does for a man.

when did tube sites get really popular? and, 5 times more than basically nothing doesn't mean it's a whole lot of money

All you get is the same eight-minute clip every time, if even that.

0:00-1:30 - grossly overproduced intro
1:00-4:00 - everyone is still fully clothed
4:00-6:00 - overly-long BJ
6:00-7:00 - oh they're finally fucking now
7:00-7:30 - "see more at [sketchy paysite]!"
7:30-8:00 - a static image of that bullshit thumbnail

also the bottom handfull of pixel lines are all stretched, and there's obviously no less than seven logos piled on top of each-other in the bottom-right corner.

market saturation and competition drives higher fidelity and longer form "freebies" among market entrants

what you're describing is what i presume to be the established shops still flimsily attempting 2010s style monetization tactics but by all indicators consumers aren't having that

Yet, the full movies on the "hamster" site have been there for a decade or more.
Strange how the "last resort" site from ages ago has somehow become the best one out there, simply by doing nothing.

It's pretty much all of them, especially the ones that purged all the amateur stuff. OF by itself is killing the tubesites by flooding them with crap that "join the free adult version of myspace" would be jealous of.

admittedly that's the beast of the modern industry, but not filtering everything less than 10 minutes is suboptimal form

there's a lot less, and they're usually by the professional shops. tend to have identifiable characteristics.

I use xvideos and typically do 20 if Im not looking for compilations. Its the only good site Ive found that isnt complying with Virginias bullshit age verification thing, and I cant be arsed to connect to the VPN just to watch porn as long as I dont have to.

What's the point of avoiding short clips, just to watch twenty of them glued together?

Sometimes I dont feel like watching the same scene for 10+ minutes.

Do pornstars still use "agents"? I remember when actresses would appear on talk shows they would always bring along some scuzzy guy claiming to be her agent. Some tool who is probably taking 75% of her pay and has her sleep with him whenever he wants it. Hopefully the girls today are smarter than that.
