oh yeah, lots of creators use Patreon. Fenoxo, the creator of the text based RPG Trials in Tainted Space (he sells it in MiKandi), uses Patreon and brings in $20K a month. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=121401&u=121401&

Some performers do use Patreon. But if you want to promote your erotic work, Patreon doesn't accept accounts promoting porn with live actors, only drawn art.

"China has a... quite healthy attitude towards copyright and trade secrets. That is, they don't give a flying fuck here." haha, I used to live in Dongguan.. Well, actually, Changping Town, Dongguan. It was impossible to get s

it's unethical. I love Android because it's open and am happy that Google kept it that way... to an extent. Some of the things they do are backhanded. For example, there's a strong campaign to condition users to only trust Go

Thanks! We had a ton of fun shooting that. Andy and James ad libbed a lot of it. It was fun to shoot because we had to hide in the back room while they did their thang, otherwise they'd catch us in the Glass footage huddled around the

I haven't seen it yet. I find most of these "exposes" into the performer world tend to be biased, but I'll check it out.

An AMA sounds fun. :) I think the article covered the misconceptions and the state of the industry pretty well. I think the biggest misconceptions are: 1. No one pays for porn, but we know they do. 2. Selling is a sure-fire way to make a to

Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look. Most of the activity happens in the Android client, not on the site, so we sometimes don't check the web property as often as we should. We've talked about cryptocurrency but go bac

I was just about to share this. That's my company (and me in 2 of the pictures). Thanks for sharing it.

Mostly for fun. I've got a .ninja and .beer. Contemplated .xxx's for my company to protect the brand against cybersquatters.

Nope, you can use it lots of other messaging, like marketing, newsletters, and notifications.

Oh man. Just from looking at the title, I had a feeling your might be in the adult space. The same happened to me. We were using Mailchimp to send technical newsletters to our registered developers. I did try speaking with someone at Mailch

Excellent question. Five years ago, I started my company with my partner. Before that, I joined his first startup. All in all, we've been working together and living together for almost 10 years. Our families are close and we have the

Sound advice for anyone choosing a name in a foreign language. I lived and worked in China and met numerous men with lofty names like Jenius (yes, with a J) and King (1). I also worked with a Western man who renamed himself Dragun (yes, wit

Oh man, you've just opened the floodgates. I just love to geek out on this topic. :) I've been in the adult industry for almost a decade- both in "hardware" (sex toys) and software (mobile app store, video streaming). Wh

Agreed. With so much free porn online, everyone has be come a connoisseur. What stands out is experience, quality/niche, and convenience. I found this reddit thread on who pays for porn and why an interesting read. http://ww

I'm the co-founder of MiKandi, the adult app store. Adult games are a top search term in our store. If you're making adult Android or HTML5 games, I'd love to get in touch. We just made our first game, Fap Ninja. It was chall

You're absolutely right there. You can purchase adult DVDs with Mastercard/Visa at brick and mortars. Once it's online, that's when you get hit with not only the higher rates but the strict yet frustratingly vague conten

Hey there! I'm the writer of that article. Thank you for sharing it and I'm glad you found it enlightening. I like to call those of us in the industry that put out great tech, operate on open communication and transparency, and do
