A big turning point in the adult industry, how will adult videos change in the future?
Due to the epidemic of the new coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19), urban blockades and curfews have been issued, and many industries centering on the tourism industry have been suspended. The production of adult movies is no exception, and studio production has stopped because many people have to come together and come into contact with each other to shoot. However, this does not mean that all AV actresses are in distress, and some of them, on the contrary, have increased their earnings. In the face of social headwinds, new forms of technology-based porn are emerging.
Porn Takes On a Personal Touch in the Pandemic-The Ringer
Little Puck, a Chicago-based cosplayer and adult actress, delivers adult movies on a monthly basis through the membership-only SNS service 'Only Fans', and many of them are subject to urban blockades and curfew. It has succeeded in making a profit. Puck, who registered with Only Fans in January 2020, increased his earnings from about $ 2,000 (about 220,000 yen) a month to $ 7,500 (about 800,000 yen) in April. Even before registering for Only Fans, Puck registered with the streaming service `` Many Vids' 'that can directly sell his adult movies and sold $ 10,000 (about 1.1 million yen) a month, but Only Fans' revenue is in it It is said that the force is comparable.
Even before COVID-19 became popular, social media like OnlyFans, ManyVids, and Snapchat have been used by adult actresses. Because these platforms do not involve a studio, the actress's profitability will increase and the autonomy as a content creator will increase. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the already existing trends.
In this way, there is a big shift from the studio to performers in the adult industry, but such a big shift is not uncommon. For example, the change from 'VHS to DVD to Blu-ray' is one of them. In addition, the number of websites that distribute free content such as Pornhub and Xvideos has increased in recent years, and profitable media such as DVD have collapsed. As a result, many companies that were producing adult DVDs were forced to go out of business, and Pornhub's parent company, MindGeek, and WGCZ Holding, which runs Xvideos, acquired more and more popular studios.
Also, the idea that adult actresses deliver content to fans is not new. Since 1997, nude shows by webcam and telephone sex have been provided. However, many modern platforms take the form of subscriptions, which allows fans to pay a monthly fee to receive services from their favorite performers. It follows celebrity's Instagram Live and Twitch, where they interact with their fans, and Cameo, who can receive personal messages from celebrities.
Especially, the momentum of Only Fans that appeared at the beginning is tremendous. OnlyFans is not originally dedicated to pornography, but it is also
What is the reason why the distribution of sexual contents increased by membership SNS until it was called 'Portrait direct sales place'? -GIGAZINE
In 2020 of March OnlyFans is the 200,000 content creators 20 million subscribers have been held , but its growth has dramatically increased from the beginning to become a 'social distance' is a problem In March alone, 3.5 million subscribers and 60,000 content creators registered. Before the city blockade, Sophia Rose, who was flying around the world as an adult actress, started delivering content for $ 14.99 a month (about 1600 yen), but in the beginning of April there were 400 subscribers, Reported that it reached 1,000 people in the middle of May. In other words, Only Fans alone has monthly sales of 1.6 million yen.
However, there is also a problem with Only Fans. Puck says that the rules for content creators are not specified in OnlyFans, they change frequently, and there are bugs. In addition, OnlyFans will take a measure for the account by the call girl who responds to the request by telephone, even if it is not for the purpose of providing the service as a call girl, if the account is specified, the page will be disabled and the profit will be held. It is being said. It was also reported that a data leak occurred in early 2020, and content creators were harassed with their addresses specified.
Despite these disadvantages, the reason why Only Fans is highly supported is that the content creators can earn 80% of their sales, which is high profitability. This is far higher than the revenue share of similar services. Another reason is that consumer needs have changed. Puck tried to sign up for OnlyFans three years ago, but at that time ManyVids was a much better source of income, so he immediately stopped using OnlyFans. However, in January 2020, ManyFan has restarted OnlyFans after making money with OnlyFans. We have succeeded in producing a great profit here.
In a typical studio shot adult movie, the actress earns $ 800-2000 (about 86,000 yen-220,000 yen) per shot, and only $ 300 (about 32,000 yen) for newcomers. Not even. Also, since the actress is not paid for the usage fee of the right, the profit will be that much once the shooting is finished.
For this reason, some adult actresses have established a style of using 'studio-shot adult movies' as a place to create new fans and earn a stable income through a subscription service. Rose, who is active as a
Also, OnlyFans is attractive because you can earn more than your subscription fee by conducting private sessions through video services, phone calls, and custom content. The need for 'amateurness' in pornography has long been great, and there are cases where actresses who are not actually amateurs make a sense of amateurness and make a lot of money by contacting fans.
On the other hand, the value of studio photography has not disappeared. Bree Mills, director of the adult time streaming service 'Adult Time', which has 100 channels to broadcast original content, has been forced to stop due to the COVID-19 epidemic, but he still said, 'Creating content in a creative way. We are looking at what to do.
With the emergence of websites like Pornhub, many studios were not active on emerging platforms and closed down. 'By 2020, talented people who understand the big picture will survive,' says Mills. No matter how the industry evolves, studio photography as a 'brand' will not disappear, and studio photography is useful for actresses who want to boost revenue and popularity. Studio performers may need to rethink many things, from content content to payment, as performers become more powerful than ever, but still hopefully studio shoots The movie is likely to become even more popular.
