To be sure, I'm Grooby loyal for life, so would never think of breaching protocol and producing ts content for another site, but I like to see everyone succeed, and independent sites are like ants to the giants of Grooby, SMC, Kink, Bang Bros, etc. not really much competition. When girls talk of a solo site, I send them to HoodRat Graphics, which techincally is a competing company, but where else are they going to go? I've known of 'Unknown5' male performer ambitions, but this 'site' idea is new to me. I say more power to him, it's a hell of a mountain to climb, but not many would even bother to try, or follow through anyways. There are too many in the entertainment industry that only look out for 'self' and will only help if it benefits them some how, which is an aspect that turned me off from the music business. I'm just not that type of person, if I have advice, I'm going to share it, no strings attached.
As I've said many times, I've helped the solo site girls with tips and advice based on what I know, and I would feel bad as a 'person' to refuse to 'help a brother out' with tips and advice as well. I can teach someone in a matter of hours how to get my quality of content which took me years of foolish and expensive trial and error that I had to stumble through by myself, well at least until me, PK and DS starting synching up. Hell, even us photogs in company are forced into a competitive light, which is something I try to avoid. I can't compete with photogs who've been doing it twice as long, are 5 times more well known, are living in the lap of luxury and already have the chips stacked very high in their favor, I'd rather bow out gracefully from a competition than fail miserably and be told 'better luck next year'. I can care less about trying to 'one up' the next guy with better girls or hotter scenes, I just want to produce and make money so I can afford to live, and I can't knock the next guy for having his own ambitions, so I say more power to him. Whenever anyone contacts me with ideas of sites, I'm very realistic about the real world success and how hard it is to 'make it' in porn. Not trying to discourage them necessarily, just warn them of the hard road ahead. I've been going at it, well about 5 years now, and am hardly known and still not worthy of recognition on a dvd cover. No sweat off my shoulder really as I don't care it's not like I'm producing Nacho Vidal/Joey Silvera level of content anyway, but something that I took note of, or rather that was brought to my attention by others who do think such things matter. They laughed that I didn't even know there was a dvd out with my content on it, that hurt the 'pride bone' a little. Still, I never saw it as something to 'bitch and moan' about, as long as I get to do what I can I'm happy. I hardly even know what the cover art looks like, perhaps I will go and order myself a copy of the dvd just cause. :cool:
