Explosion of free internet pron, & the 'lluminati: Let Them Eat Pron?

I've heard [kof kof] that the internets are crawling with free porn. I have no problem believing that porn is the #1 category of internet traffic measured by bandwidth, even compared to the non-porn video sites like gootube-- text/news sites aren't bandwidth hogs, streaming video is!

Last couple years these "porn tube" sites have exploded- free, meticulously categorized video clips from a minute or so to an hour... keyword searchable. Before that it was a sea of free pics & sample video clips of 10 seconds or so, with a link to the producing website so the viewer could go sign up for more. I gather the referring site which provided the sample clips got a cut of the subscription price action for those who would open their wallets. But these tube sites just seem to give away the whole store for free-- I can't imagine they're raking in the subscription referral bucks to sustain their labor & bandwidth intensive operations. Why would porn surfers open their wallets, risking unknown-merchants/recurring-charges/embarrassment/etc esp in this economy, when the world of free internet porn seems bottomless?

So long story short, I suspect the free porn explosion on the net is 'lluminati/taxpayer-subsidized somehow; with the agenda something along the lines of "pacifying" the (mostly male gender) population, owning their "porn addicted" minds/libidos, keeping them off the streets, deterring/wrecking "normal" romantic relationships etc. Anyone else suspect this?

Here's a few articles I've seen in recent months discussing this stuff,

Makow (& guest contributors):

I'm a Prisoner of Porn and Can't Escape (February 27, 2010)

Others:
Slave Master: How Pornography Drugs & Changes Your Brain - "... Pornography is a visual pheromone, a powerful, $100 billion per year brain drug that is changing human sexuality by “inhibiting orientation” and “disrupting pre-mating communication between the sexes by permeating the atmosphere,” especially through the internet.

Hey Pat, apparently you didn't get the memo: staring at breasts is good for a man's health!

So Pat has been doing his "homework" about internet porn.

Purely for research purposes.



Joking aside, you may well be right.

IMO, I think there is no doubt that viewing porn re-wires one's head, and not toward any improvement either, always to one's detriment.

Now simply looking at boobies, that's entirely different.

Nah I saw that, well I skimmed it for pics anyways. I like the animated ones! :P

The point of this thread though is, I just don't see how the economics of "free" internet porn adds up. There's something more going on there. Smells like bagels. :conf:

Gonzo: must've been early '90s, I recall hearing about a "federal study" into the adult book store/video joints for some reason, and the outcomes their field research noted that they suspected there was masturbation going on inside those 25 cent multi-channel video booths... :o

You think they possibly make $$$ from ads or something?

Hell, how does the original youtube pay the bills?

As a tightwad, I never understood the viability of banner ads either. Once in a blue moon I click one by accident, and X it out immediately. At some point, the banner ads need to result in surfers opening their wallets, greasing the whole slick click-through-ad commerce machine. People who click on them, then buy the product, are just a different sort of consumer than I; I can't relate to how they think, nor they to how I think & make buying decisions...

The economics of gootube have always mystified me too- the server space, the bandwidth... all for ad revenue? Are there really hoards of well trained consumers clicking the banner ads & buying the shwag, enough that the whole endeavor is profitable for everyone? But the porn tube sites, they're giving away all the commercially produced wank-fodder for free I've heard [kof kof], so they mystify me even more! I can't believe the wanking hoards are saying in sufficient numbers, "okay enough of the free stuff, I should be a good sport and join these sites whose material I've already all seen for free.." Maybe I'm wrong and that's exactly what they are doing, just seems implausible, all considered. Like I suggest in the OP, I suspect there's some 'lluminati/tavistock/satanic/social-engineering involved in the phenomenon somewhere.

Not to mention the ad's contained in the free videos themselves.

"what you hear" sounds about right... but you see the problem I'm suggesting in that biz model- all their ads are for some flavor of pay-porn... when the ad-sponsored tube sites themselves are already giving away a seemingly bottomless amount of it, long videos categorized meticulously, for free already. Where's the "tease" to inspire the surfer to pay for "more of" what they can already marinate themselves in endlessly, for free?

Hey maybe my tightwad perspective makes it impossible for me to believe that the biz model does work profitably for all parties, I just don't know... be curious to see the cash flow/expense numbers behind the scenes.

Porn is BIG buisness GE and most major hotels make BIG money off of it.

It's here to stay.

Some porn stars viewed themselves as frontline fighters in the spiritual battle between Christian America and secular humanism. According to Ford, Jewish X-rated actors often brag about their ‘joy in being anarchic, sexual gadflies to the puritanical beast’. Jewish involvement in porn, by this argument, is the result of an atavistic hatred of Christian authority: they are trying to weaken the dominant culture in America by moral subversion. ... Al Goldstein, the publisher of Screw, said (on lukeford.net), ‘The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don’t believe in authoritarianism.’

... It is a case of the traditional revolutionary/radical drive of immigrant Jews in America being channelled into sexual rather than leftist politics. Just as Jews have been disproportionately represented in radical movements over the years, so they are also disproportionately represented in the porn industry. Jews in America have been sexual revolutionaries. A large amount of the material on sexual liberation was written by Jews. Those at the forefront of the movement which forced America to adopt a more liberal view of sex were Jewish.
