3 amateur videos out of 20 on the front page of redtube.com. .. hardly _dominating_.
(That's a generous count, as well. "Professional" porn has gone down in production value for various reasons, and they now produce films and market them as "amateur". For that reason, it's hard to get a good count without looking at more than the thumbnails, and I'm not in the mood at the moment.)
- mfukar 16y agoAnd redtube.com out of N is representative? Not to justify the grandparent's probably biased view (which I share btw), but arguing with ambiguous statements doesn't offer much to the discussion or our comprehension of the matter.
- Symmetry 16y agoPresumably the professionals who have a financial stake in the matter have the time to submit their videos again and again and again, while actual amateurs don't. At least, thats what seems to happen on craigslist in many catagories so I presume the same dynamic holds on "user-created" porn sites.
