No one is "roasting" anyone. They come here to ask for our thoughts on their business ideas, and we give them. As to "scaring them off," well, they were never really here to contribute to the community beyond gathering our opinions anyway. So, uh, big loss?
You yourself have admitted that 90% of these types of posts are "stupid ideas" so I'm not sure why you are acting so defensive. In fact, it's not even your post, why do you care so much? Business partnership in the making?
Actually, some historic partners of mine. Some great people, too. Really know their shit as far as traffic and conversions are concerned. And yes, this topic has started a great dialogue about everything
EXCEPT what was originally covered in this post. Okay, a little bit about the tube site, but it's more about some of the other properties they're working with.
I'll call it roasting, as it's automatically preconceived that they're evil, sleazy people wanting to manipulate all the models. Hell, reread the first initial replies. Like I said, 90% of the time I will agree with you all completely, but there's that 10%. For example, go read the initial comments for Nood.tv, as well as that thread that was started about the camming social network with the model search algorithms. I'm having some very great conversation with the devs behind that right now, too. Interesting concept, I can't wait to see the POC. Plenty of more examples, just read through these forums. I've seen it happened back before I had an account and when I was just lurking myself.
And I don't think you all realize how many industry professionals lurk here. I do. They email me. Fuck, we gossip about this forum! There are people that can provide great value to you girls, that don't even want to create an account as they've seen the level of reception that is received.
There's people with great tools and ideas that can provide great value to you all that are turned off by this forum.
*SO* you're all stuck with the idiots with idiotic ideas. How's that working out?
And I've made comments such as this before. Last time AmberCutie revoked my rights to even comment on that thread any further. I guess people don't like being called out like that. Thanks Amber for letting me follow up and respond on this one!
And, I will make this same point in the future. It's just a matter of time. Like I said, 90% of the time, I totally agree with you all, but this is an example of the other 10%.
And in everyone's defense here, the OP did a horrible job at explaining things. It was worded towards the internet monetization community, and not the model community. Sometimes it's very easy to forget that people aren't experienced with traffic and internet monetization.
