Coincidentally (or not if it was somebody in this thread that posted it!), this just showed up:

@Fwills Posting where, and under what account name? Or are they just getting spread randomly? Do the videos have anything useful in the filenames? The more information you give the better the chance of someone finding out. Maybe then somebody can get in touch with him and tell him it's pointless trying to sell something without telling anyone how to buy it. LOL

In my head I heard Gerard Butler in "300" when I read that.

Thanks guys. Some interesting reading there.

I always expected there to be a sizeable difference in pay with mainstream studios when compared to something like Raunchy Bastards, who seem to use newbie models and usually have them only do 1 scene. You wouldn't expect top-notch pay for that, but working regularly for an established studio with exclusive models, high production standards and a huge fanbase you'd obviously expect a bit more.

I hadn't heard about the Armond Rizzo thing before, but it's good to see that there are people in the industry who are willing to take a stand.

I used to be a huge fan a Helix, and still grab the new scenes when they appear as I'm something of a collector, but I've noticed that I rarely watch them these days. Maybe I'm just not into the current batch of models. I defo never watch anything with Josh Brady. He doesn't really fit the theme of the studio in my opinion, and something about him just turns me off.

Good spot though! I'm sure somebody will take the leap.

@MrMazda I suppose that makes some sense. Tops are under pressure to "perform" whereas bottoms are always ready.

@john32123666 Sorry, the site won't let me give you more than 6 upvotes a day. Please check back in tomorrow.

@john32123666 Thanks for the response, but I think you might have misunderstood my question.

I'm curious about how much people get paid for gay porn, and if there's an overall difference between tops and bottoms.

For example, I'd like to know what a relatively new performer might earn for a scene against a studio's star performers. I'm thinking of people like Kyle Ross (RIP) who was a Helix exclusive model and became synonymous with the brand.

Then you have guys like Daniel Hausser, Austin Avery, Dakota Lovell.... They spread themselves around various studios and are obviously in demand, but is this down to low pay and the need to shoot as many scenes as they can?

Also, is there a difference in pay-scales between top, bottom and vers guys? Do performers earn more for fucking or being fucked, or is it entirely down to there looks and fanbase? I would imagine that they would be able to expect more for doing certain things like fisting. Would you expect to be paid the same for a 1 on 1 scene as you would for letting 10 tops take turns on you? And if so, what sort of numbers are we talking about?

Having seen a couple of documentaries about the porn industry in the past I'm curious about how much someone can expect to earn in the gay market.

The documentaries were primarily about the straight porn sector, and made a big deal of women being paid significantly more than their male performing partners. One phrase I distinctly remember is males being referred to as "warm props" which I suppose is understandable as straight men are usually only watching to see the women and don't care who's fucking them.

Does this dynamic bear any correlation to gay porn? Are bottoms in any way favoured over tops by studios, or are tops more in demand and hence paid more? How much might a newbie earn for their first few shoots with a big studio such as Helix or Cockyboys versus one of their big exclusives?

Is it possible to actually earn a living wage in the gay porn industry? There are apparently women who make 6-figure sums in straight porn and use that as their sole income, though I'm sure they are rare if they do actually exist, but I can't imagine the same being true for gay performers.

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge (not speculation) about this?

@MrMazda Did somebody say paddles???

@MrMazda Don't worry, dear. I think this might become a running joke between us thanks to a third party in another thread.

@john32123666 I have tried that strategy in the past, but results haven't been much better. I just seem to get much higher upload speeds on torrents from the .net site, regularly seeing speeds in excess of 15Mb/s whereas on here I rarely get much over 1 or 2. It could just be luck of the draw, but thought I'd see if there might be something I'm missing in my client.

I'm just curious if there's some way of improving my uploading speeds specifically for this site. If I sort my completed torrent in my client by share ratio then things I've downloaded from here consistently show the lowest ratios when compared to the other 2 sites I visit.

While I'm aware that such things are largely based on how popular a download is, how quickly you join the swarm and some other factors, my current actively seeding files on here top out at a ratio of around 3:1 whereas I see 8 or 9 to 1 on another site and between 50 and 70 on the other.

Is there something I can do to improve my ability to share here, or is it purely down to the characteristics of the swarms I'm in?

@john32123666 Don't moderate me!!! LMAO

@ianfontinell It's B. If you're unsure always go for B. Or A. D in some cases. C is just asking to fail.

Sorry to quote such an old comment, but since this thread has been revived I wanted to point something out.

@yepyep7891 said in Bad ratio preventing download - i have a good ratio:

And what you say about peers, they're not even involved in the download process, so I find this really weird.

Peers are absolutely involved in the download process. I have managed to finish downloads in the past without ever actually connecting to the seeder. If you are connected to peers who have a enough parts to constitute a full copy then you are able to get the whole file from them. If peers played no part in the download process then why would you see upload traffic on a torrent that you're downloading?

@ianfontinell I totally agree. It would allow for unlimited bumping of uploads and create an utter mess.

Found the second one. It was indeed UndieTwinks.
