Thanks Bec.

Because you mentioned it, I just went and checked it out, like I do every couple of years. I didn't apply because that didn't work 10 through 14 years ago! I read several posts bemoaning the obvious state of shrinking webmaster membership. But I did not bother applying, because my applications had been turned down 10+ years ago. And now there isn't enough time in the day!

I've never been just a webmaster. I've always been a studio, a performer, a producer, Director, editor, creator. And in multi-media, like VOD, DVD, books, eBooks, and now various LGBT+ Pride Flag art collectibles. And quietly in NFTs.

I always liked GWW as a place where I could meet others in the biz and share ideas. To buy things, more than to sell things. There was the rupture, >2008 power grab which like all power grabs did little but divide and be conquered with all of the hate-filled name calling.

So the webmaster biz is smaller, but I and my Friends are on OnlyFans, Twitter and Facebook, several model portfolio sites, the 8 most popular Live Cam sites, and at the popular in-person Trade Shows (AVN, InterNext, TES, XBiz, BCams, Bucharest Summit). We're all independent performers, producers and creators. But there's more of us as performers. Not keyboard warriors.

OnlyFans, Twitter and Facebook don't discriminate in membership based on competitiveness. I've never been anyone's competitor, but others have treated me as a competitive threat to them, so I have more Friends in the other places that actually produce work.

So I have been a member here since 2004, not there, and rarely on GFY. But on Facebook, Twitter, the 3 top VOD platforms (now shrinking to 2), OnlyFans, JustFor.fans, ManyVids, FapHouse, Chaturbate, StripChat, Streamen, CamSoda, BongaCams, CAM4... Freelancer and Fiverr. All in the past 18 years.

The biz is actually growing, not shrinking. Only small minds are shrinking. Get out from behind your keyboards and produce!
