An extremely interesting topic to me. As I review paysites, I have indeed noticed that video seemingly is being given far more attention, with an offering of screen caps. Gosh, with newer computers available, I see better screen caps of half-naked men on television USA soap operas in blogs than the "caps" made available in some paysites.
Quality photography, with staged lighting and the perfect "come-fuck-me" smile on the model's face seems to be greatly lacking the past 6-9 months.
WHY?
I personally think a market still remains for quality photos, as compared to screen shots. There are some that don't start a subscription just to get immediately off, but are addicted to collecting porn, as if it were art. I would not be surprised that those types are the long term recurring subscriber.
With many paysites offering photo content for use, I would suspect not many buying the stale old image sets. Also I have noticed several well known gay male-oriented photographers opening their own paysites.Originally Posted by Lee
Not quite sure if I understand your question Lee. Will many image content providers go the way of the horse and wagon? Yes.
Will there still remain a desire for quality image content? Yes. It may though become a parting of the waters in the Adult industry. The video or livecam sites versus quality artistic photography.
Perhaps a site like UKNAKEDMEN is an example of a paysite that currently bridges those seperated waters, providing quality video (introducing a new video with a story theme) and high quality photography.
