X-critic also against Transsexuals

[GroobySteven]

You talk such shit Franklin. I've said this multiple times, YOU do not represent EVERYBODY buying or wanting TS porn, so don't speak for everyone. By all means speak for yourself but leave it there because the facts speak for themselves - and you are incorrect.

Sometimes you remind me little bit of Tomcat.

You're full shit. I can speak for everyone. Straight men WANT hardcore scenes. They do NOT want solo porn. Today very few straight solo sites and DVDs are made. Twistys is the only successful straight solo site. We want hardcore scenes. The top porn sites like Brazzers, Reality Kings, Naughty America, etc only shoot hardcore content because that is what straight men want.

The only reason why you're bitching at me is because Grooby is like most TS porn companies. Grooby is too damn cheap. The video quality is far below average. The overall model quality is bad. You even said it yourself that you weren't going to book Yasmin Lee because of her rates. Most TS fans would rather see Yasmin Lee and Kelly Shore before ever looking at 99% of the TS women I see on Shemale Yum.

TS porn doesn't deserve coverage. Like Mac B said the product needs a MAJOR overhaul in quality and production. The quality in TS porn is a joke.

There is way too much solo content, and not enough hardcore content in TS porn. That's another reason why some people do not want to cover TS porn. Bailey Jay was a joke. However, TS porn doesn't have any standards so she won AVN two years in a role for providing solo and POV content. Straight men who buy porn want hardcore content. We always hear producers saying that straight men want TS porn. However, the type of content they want isn't being produced.

Actually Franklin I'm finding the opposite on these points.

My sales have grown to the point I'll be putting more money into content for my second year. I asked my website members if they wanted me to add two more solo sets each month or to change one of my existing solos to a hardcore. My member response has overwhelmingly been add more solos. Pro advice has been to do the hard cores so I haven't made a final decision what direction I'll move, but it's worth noting the fan response.

Similarly, I track sales by set so I understand what content is driving new sales for me. My best selling scenes are all shot by the least skilled photographer/ videographer. You can also look to C4s for more support. Look through their top selling studios and clips and you'll notice some serious dogs quality wise. Are there some folks like you who are videophiles? Sure. But the vast majority of folks care about getting off don't care about high end specs on video quality.

Where is your poll?

Do you remember Hannah Sweden? http://hannahsweden.com/

Her site only featured solo content. What happen to it? She said she wasn't making money. Why? Her members wanted hardcore scenes and she didn't want to do hardcore content. Her site went under. I respect her for not doing hardcore because that is her decision to make.

C4s?

A ditto on this for me... and another voice that says Franklin is full of crap.

I polled the Members of my site a little while ago because of some server space issues about featuring hardcore (tends to be longer) or solo content. The response was OVERWHELMINGLY in favor of keeping HD quality on the solo videos and doing more of those rather than featuring more hardcore content.

I have built an entire site and entire career out of the 'amateur' look and feel and it remains competitive and popular.

EDIT: BEFORE YOU ASK: The poll was internal (for Members only) and the data wasn't saved. Take my word for it.

Not likely the reason. I follow all the amateur dough sites for promotional purposes, but better to cite a reason than nothing at all. There was little new content going out for her... Members probably dropped like flies because of the recycled scenes (many updates were simply different camera angles of the same scene).

Internal to my website - feel free to join Franklin so you can let me know what you want - I'd love to have you yell at me regularly LOL.

See... here's the thing with solo websites doing solo sets... too many models do the same boring shit over... and over... and over again. One key to a solo website is freshness... multi-girl websites achieve it with new faces, we need to do it with what we shoot and how we shoot it. As I understand it some of her issue was freshness of content.

C4S - Clips 4 Sale - it'a primarily fetish driven but ala carte is clearly the way Industry sales are headed.

Get the fuck out of here - YOU are so full of shit. There are dozens of successful solo model sites, you idiot.
I don't need to bitch at you. Grooby is certainly not cheap and video quality, might be below some of the higher end mainstream sites but certainly not below average.
Yasmin decided to work solely for Kink and Kelly Shore last shot for us. Our models are fantastic, practically ever single TS model working today, has featured on one of our sites you imbecile.

If Grooby sites are so bad quality - then why are they still the most successful sites and still growing. It's because they're simply, the best at what they do. Why do we do non-hardcore model sites - because so many people WANT that. Why do we do hardcore model sites - because also people WANT that.

If the sites are so bad, how come you've spent $100's on them this year alone?

You just delete franklin's post?!

What a fucking joke...

Yeah I deleted it - total slander, calling girls out.
I'm happy to give a forum to answer any questions and feedback but not just going to allow my company or my models to be attacked by his bi-polarism. Just a few weeks ago he was pm'ing me thanking me for reshooting a model.

He's been completely wrong on almost every assertation he's made regarding the industry and refuses to listen to people who have the cold stats and facts. If he wants to ask specific questions - or make a point, he can start a new thread on it and I'll answer it there, when I have the time. If you have a problem with that, you can fuck off also. If you have a problem with that, you can fuck off also.

It's a complete derailment of what this post was about.
