I reckon the network effects are just too strong
- swozey 3y agoYep, and coincidentally related to your username, economy struggles. The main one I worked at was a mansion by University of Tampa that someone bought and we put cameras around it and women/men "worked" in it. They got free room and board and college tuition at UT paid for. This was 20 years ago. But none of these acts ever thought/expected to become millionaires like what happens on OF. It's wild. It was mostly apposite to dancing and a lot of them were dancers when not in school.
- voisin 3y agoOF network effects don’t seem that strong to me. I am not a user but I see a lot of TikTokers directing people to OF and assuming this is how they derive their viewership, those performers could just direct the potential client to a different platform. Unless I am mistaken, OF doesn’t have discovery features or other features that would be the source of stickiness to the platform. Isn’t it essentially just a webhost with payment system?
- swozey 3y agoI don't really know much about it but OF has this right side "menu" of suggested people to watch. But I've never figured out how they related to anyone else I've watched. Most of the organic network-growing that I see on OF is one model/act will tag their friend/business partner in a post. It's kind of amazing to me how little effort they've put in to building that part of the site up because that would drum up so much more sticky (viewing not fluids) activity and keep people on the site longer.
