Porn Stars Against Internet

When she was nineteen, Siri knew she wanted to be a Porn Star. Four years later, she moved to the San Fernando Valley to live the dream and immediately shot her very first scene with Reality King. It was in February 2012 and six month later, she performed in more than eighteen videos. This is what we call: the usual meteoric rise. Shooting now for Kink and New Sensation, she has done a few magazine’s cover and was even nominated at the AVN awards. Everything concatenate quickly and she became one of the most in vogue Porn rookie. Almighty independent, Siri refuses to sign exclusivity contracts and she leads her communication’s strategy by herself. As many of her colleague, she’s hyperactive on the social media’s platforms, where she plays the sincerity and proximity game with its followers: “If anyone is asking me a question, I will answer even if it’s one I already heard about”

Next time someone asks me about how digital piracy has changed adult films, I’m sending them to @SiriPornStar http://t.co/59M9ehhFCp

As of now, this technique was seducing people, until her AMA on Reddit. Well, we know it happened a month ago, but at this time, we thought it wasn’t worth a whole post about it. After all, it was again one of many Porn Stars AMA, where people are always asking questions about parents and where we read stories on body fluids. But the recent Stoya’s rand on Twitter give this AMA a new life as she point out that Redditors have been offended by Siri’s thread on Tubes: ” If there’s one thing you can change about the industry, what is it? I would invent a magical sceptre which would make pirating Porn impossible, and therefore make the adult film industry as profitable as it once was for everyone working in it.”

A true fiasco for Siri; any lambda Redditor is pretty aggressive and become hostile when it comes to such a general statement because they feel directly accused. Siri finds herself under a fire of reactions, along with some doubtful parallel made with he music industry. This skirmish shows us the rising angriness of the Porn stars against the Tubes. But this is not the same vision for the consumers, whom are used to have an abundance of free content on the tubes and whom don’t want to have this freeness ruined. Indeed, without noticing, most of the consumers are more or less standing with the industry behemoth methods.

Would the pledge of financing a studio with the “free” be soon out of breath? (as Stoya suggested it in her IAmA back in 2012). Actually we assist to a Porn stars kickback and a massive exodus of the consumer to the more “open” tubes. That would explain the popularity of Xhamster which has a bigger available content’s catalogue than some other big tubes.

Is this the perfect opportunity to define a new economic model? Is Porn industry living its second revolution with the streaming arise and the arriving of some Porn’s Netflix? In all case, it’s time for the industry to reinvent itself.
