Just wondering if with the hiatus in hiring the gay porn sites are making a killing?

 

The amount of "new" content put out by porn companies has slowed. Although I think a few have started filming again.

 

What I think is really booming is the OF/JFF/4MF content from various pornstars and providers.

I'm glad that I wasn't the only who thought about the TV show with this header. Of course I had just read through Charlie's wonderful story so I was primed for any kind of 60's nostalgia. BTW, I'm surprised no one thought of Little Joe as a Bonanza Porn star. Michael Landon was quite the hottie too back in the day.

At least for me, I sincerely was hoping that the phrase "Little Joe" did not apply to everything.

I have been patronizing onlyfans.com quite a bit.

 

I did just cancel Seancody.

Side note: IMO their billing service was pretty shady about it.

 

I know, I whine.?

One of my earliest crushes was on “Little Joe“ Cartwright.

In fact, I‘ve still got a strong attraction to the real life “Little Joes” of the world.

 

Confession, in my youth I thought Lou Reed’s line “ Little Joe never once gave it away” was about Little Joe Cartwright.

Then college came. I discovered the real “Little Joe“ Dellasandro, and a whole new fetish sprang forth!

When my brother-in-law was young he was a drop dead good looking blond, blue eyed, all-American stud. He worked in refrigeration/air conditioning. One day he was working on a movie set where they were doing screen tests for a role on an upcoming T.V. series. The director was throwing a screaming fit because he hated all the guys his staff had brought it to be tested. He kept repeated that he wanted a guy who looked like but couldn’t say who. Then he spotted by brother-in-law and said he wanted someone who looks like him and then added that in fact he want him. His flunkies rushed over to my bewildered brother-in-law to get his name and set up a screen test for him the next morning. When my brother-in-law got home he and my sister discussed the situation and he decided not to go to the audition. Michael Landon eventually got the role of Little Joe on Bonanza. We often wondered what would have happened had my brother-in-law gone to the audition.

How much does a standard non-super star make on these sites. I know they vary from $9-15.99 per subscription, but what kind of numbers are we talking? (Prefer hearing from actual site holders.)

i've noticed a lot of studio sites have been "revisiting" stuff from the past or releasing stuff that didn't make it before. for the straight porn sites i patronize, that change started in june-ish. i'm not sure about when those kinds of changes happened to gay sites as i'm speaking with second-hand knowledge on that.

 

i've not heard much from the OF etc guys that i know, but if i had to bet, i would say that sales for them are flat and if they're not., they're +/- 10% from what they were before. i'm saying this because i notice three things: there are subjectively more folks doing OF thereby further diluting the market; there are more sales and special offeres suggesting that there's a need to entice subscribers; and many of these folks have relied on couples, threesomes, etc that are not always a possibility right now, and would need to either shift their focus to more solo stuff, slow down their posting (assuming they had a backup of content), revisit unreleased stuff, or stop producing

 

and then this whole theory might be blown out of the water when i admit i have more OF subs (2) than i ever have before, but you know me and forearms ...

 

and to respond to @Daverwr - as a site owner myself, i can say that you're probably not going to find anyone giving you numbers. i know that after i pay my billing company, the credit card company, and taxes, that i keep about 60% of what someone pays for a subscription. i'm not sure what the OF % is but you can find that out easliy by looking at their site.

OF is booming, for some. I know a few guys here in Europe who have quite their day jobs to focus on OF (seems a little short sighted to me...) but apparently there has been a significant uplift in subscribers. OF was on an impressive upward trend before COVID and with porn sites re-hashing old content I would suspect many people (myself included) are moving their monthly subscriptions to OF.

 

However, OF is getting much more competitive and the most successful guys are pumping out (pun intended) a lot of content. They’re also recommending each other, creating content with each other, and using a variety of discounting to court new subscribers. Which is working for those who put in the effort and weeding out the guys who created an OF for the promise of a quick buck. Although there is still a dearth of contributors.

 

But, as the pandemic wages on, and job uncertainty increases, I wouldn’t be surprised if the pool of subscribers dwindles. And, as always with porn, more and more content is being shared with no benefit to the contributors. As always it’s the conglomerates who run and host these sites, plus the sharing sites, torrent sites, etc, that are the real winners.

Fair play to the guys who are making a killing right now, but my advice is don’t give up your day job if you’re lucky enough to still have one.
