I'll be a little surprised if you hear much from the producers. First, if they aren't posting clips here then there's a good chance that they aren't reading the boards. We know from earlier posts that this is true of Renee at TP.tickle fetish said:Good stuff,thanks for responding. I would like to hear from the tickle companies including TIB. He posts all the time and I have said the most about his clips. Magic is a mod here but he has yet to respond. No word from tickled2death either. And if I say something negative about a clip its because thats how I feel about it. I would like to know exactly why this is happening,is it cost? Are they out of business? Are they lazy? And if so why? Why are they going out of business? Is it the quality or lack of quality in the clips? Is it because there are not many people into these vids? Some of these companies are still up and running but never have a preview. And why have previews all the time and then just stop. And why does TIB post many previews every day while others post nothing in months? Just questions I have.
tickle fetish said:jaba-As I said BEFORE I heard about the Chris Rock clip so I requested it. I never and still have not watched it. So I cant tell you if I liked it because I NEVER SAW IT. I have already explained that to you so why are you saying I ONLY like Chris Rock clips? Is that all you have to say? And you love bringing up my past posts which I also said had nothing to do with this topic...and you said I was right and you were sorry..so??
now thats what you call a positive post,tickle fetish.See that folks,you really can say tickle fetish and positive post in the same sentence,lol.jaba said:Mr Fetish.....
I will try to explain my position, and hopefully stay on your topic.....
I believe that most tickle media producers are trying to put out a good, popular product, if for no other reason than to make money, and I don't fault them for that....
Some media, producers are good, some are very good, and some are bad, but that's just my opinion, and everyone here has different tastes and preferences, so what may be bad to me may be excellent to someone else, based on tastes....
But I truly believe that some tickle media producers have stopped producing in part because I don't believe that the tickle movie business is a particularly lucrative enterprise, and breaking even, or even turning a small profit, may not be worth the hassles and headaches....
Headaches like YOU, ticklefetish......you and folks like you, who have never, EVER, watched ONE tickle movie that you did not think was trash, people like you who have NEVER viewed a tickle model who you did not think was "fake", or a "porn star with a pathetic life" that was "only out to make a buck"....(YOUR words...check your post history....)
See, ticklefetish, sometimes your hate and negativity is infectious, and some folks just don't want to get ill with your constant hate rant....it drags everybody down....for you to go through an entire history of over 100 posts without ONE SINGLE positive comment for any tickle movie or producer, or model, is appalling, and amazing...but it is also your civil right to hate every tickle movie ever made....after all, this is the USA.....
If I happen to view a FREE tickle clip provided to us by a tickle movie producer, and it doesn't appeal to me, I just pass to the next clip that does appeal to me, and yes I do thank the tickle movie producer for the free clip and compliment the producer and model if I liked the clip......unlike you, tickle fetish, I don't have a burning desire in my heart to let EVERY producer know that EVERY clip is horrible....because every clip is not horrible, except in the mind of "ticklefetish".....I don't get the special pleasure you seem to get from spitting hate....maybe that's how you make yourself seem important and relevant in your world.......
And what's even more appalling and amazing, at least to me, is that the ONLY clip that you do not express hate for is some goofy "Chris Rock foot job" clip, which you request to see on our TICKLE FORUM website, yet you blast TIB and others for airing an orgasm clip?....
So forgive us, ticklefetish, if at some point your "hate all tickle media" circus sideshow act gets tired and old to us after awhile, and we all just roll our eyes and let you derive your unexplained pleasure from your "Chris Rock foot job" clip that you requested on a "tickle" website....
You must really live in unsatisfiable misery, ticklefetish, and I would not wish your life on my worst enemy......
Well, maybe on my worst enemy.....
tickle fetish said:Another PERSONAL attack on me. Your way off topic again Jaba.
tickle fetish said:Get away with murder and move to another town???? Wow that's a statement. So saying a clip is bad is now compared to murder??? Another post about me personally and not about the topic. I dont care who dislikes me here all I said was name calling and talking about my personal life has nothing to do with anything. And ace I never called anyone names or talked about any member's personal life. But your saying it's ok for people to call me names and talk about my life and what they THINK it is like. Not to mention it has nothing to do with the original topic. Ace you added nothing to this debate..just more of the same "talk" about me personally.
..but just about all tickling videos are fake.
I have bought many tickling videos and just about every time I feel I wasted my money. I thought if I changed video producers it would be different, but they are all the same.
Anybody see a mentioning of any "tickling" in "ticklefetishes" requested "Chris Rock foot job" clip?...looking for a foot clip where chris rock gets a foot job under the table,dont know the movie HELP
You can fake being ticklish but you cant fake not being ticklish,thats my point. And its not just that video producer its just about all of them.
tickle fetish said:More name calling. Now it's I am a "troll". More personal attacks and very little on topic. Jaba you once again have brought up the Chris Rock clip I requested. This is now what at least the third time you brought that up???? And for at least the third time I will say YET AGAIN I never saw the clip. Your so very DESPERATE at this point to find anything you can to make fun of me that you dont listen,read,or understand anything I wrote back to you in response to the Chris Rock clip. You go back and look at every one of my posts and try and find stuff to use against me. But like I said before I STAND BEHIND EVERYTHING I WROTE. And all you came up with was a clip request I never watched?? Is that the best you could do? And how many times are you going to respond with the same stuff over and over again. You have now brought up the Chris rock stuff at least three times and I have responded each time. And sure enough you come back with the same statement again. And another point I could care less if vid companies post preview clips I just ASKED THE QUESTION WHY???? And ace your saying I am looking for attention by saying everything is bad well that's like me saying you and Jaba are looking for attention because you say everything is great. Jaba wants everyone to KNOW what a positive poster he is. And Jaba if you want to go back and look at posts from months ago why dont you start with your post on how the voodoo doll tickling was real. I was told by others members not even to try and talk with you because they said your "mindless" in your responses (not my words) Once again your just talking about me personally and starting with the name calling. Jaba your off topic again. You said a few messages ago that you were sorry for going off topic....but here you are again doing the same thing. And ace just because a person does not agree with you that does not mean that person should be made fun of,called names or not respected. From what I have read I have given you and Jaba ten times more respect then you have given me.
tickle fetish said:... Lets hear from other people now...
Myriads said:Since the arrival of Clips4sale the profitability of producing tickling videos has taken a severe hit, as the amount of 'home made' material has expanded tenfold.
Five years ago you needed a website, a CC processing system, a video editing system, and some high end cameras to make and then sell videos.
Today you can get a very very good video camera for a few hundred. Shoot your video, edit on your laptop, using software that is better then movie producers had less then a decade ago, and then upload it to Clips4sale who handle the entire storefront side of things with no problems for a small fee.
With the entry hurdles so much lower, many more people have entered the game. Some are amatures having fun. Some are couples who decided to share thier play. Many are combo fetish providers who do a lot of different fetishes and have added tickling to the mix.
The end result is that it's a much harder slog for the older school producers. Most of the ones you named subsidise their incomes by other jobs. The number that make thier living at it produce a lot of other material that draws cash from other groups (forced orgasm, foot fetish, etc) to keep the lights on.
It's a different market then 2002. And a vastly different one then 1997.
How has this changed things for the consumer?
Well on the plus side you have a ton more choices then you once did. There are literly several thousand tickling clips for sale on line at this moment. There is something for every taste if you look hard enough. Heck just yesterday I found that one of my favorite models had three tickling clips in her C4S store. A few clicks, my credit card, and some time to snag the several hundred megs, and I was able to enjoy. Fast, direct to my home, and no hassle. I got exactly the model I wanted, and did not have to buy a $30 video with her on it, and perhaps some other good stuff... or not. A big plus.
On the down side there is not a lot of incentive for a producer to make clips any longer for free. Their mateiral is often jacked and reposted for free download as fast as they make it. With the ability to make cash so limited do to the fragmented market, spending time or money to produce promos is not cost effective. And from what I've heard from producers, the promos don't seem to increase sales by any huge amount over one would expect to get from having a 'Hey New stuff!" advertisement.
Most clips you see are going to be of that nature now. Pieces done to tell you that a new product is out. Tickle Challenge and Last Laugh use clips to this end very well. As do several of the botique producers we've seen enter the market a bit harder the past months.
As a consumer it's easy to understand why someone wants clips. Tickling is a very variable fetish. We each key to different aspects. Is that in the video? Is the tickler any good? The model responsive the way I like? Etc. It's nice to know what you can expect before you pop out $10 or so for a clip.
I follow the reviews that get posted on things. I track models that I've enjoyed in the past (Heck for example, I've liked Devin DeMoore since the '90's and every year or so I find a new video or clip with her in it) And sometimes I buy a FM tape that looks amusing and see what pot luck brings. I'll buy a $3 sample clip to check style and if a model is fun. I recently found Savata (sp?) over at Tickle Challenge and she amused me, so I follow her work. It's like any media, you sample it and see if it fits.
But always remember the business is a marginal one. No pure tickling producer is making a hell of a lot at it. Clips are a bonus. We are not entitled to them. And for most of the history of the community one would plunk down $40+ on a video based on the box cover and pray it was not utter dreck. Today you can actually ASK others opinions in reviews and get some solid guidance. Amazing positive change.
Ok that's the question part of the thread. Now the moderation part of my job.
As to the reaction to the posters in the thread to your question, it's not overly surprising given your posting history. You have been consistantly one of the most negative posters in the clips forum. And they are not constructive critique posts, which is what most of them seem to be pointing out. They are simple slag the producer and product posts.
Saying something sucks, or that a model is ugly, and so on, does not help anyone one little bit. It does not help the producer, it does not help other potential customers. Why did it suck? Rarely do you say. The model is ugly? In your opinion. Not so for all folks. Your comments don't add to the community, they are just spot insults shouted out as you drive by. So other users who have seen your behavior over the years have called you on it, when you come here to ASK for free stuff from the very people you have spent your stay insulting.
Why SHOULD any producer answer your question? What have you ever given them other then negative comments? You have never shown them any reason to talk back to you. Posters are pointing that out. In retail terms you have shown yourself to be what is called a 'non-productive customer'. Most producers will take the view that NOTHING they make would ever please you, and that they could never get a sale from you. So you stopped being a customer in thier eyes. You are a voice they ignore without fear of lost dollars as they never had a shot to get any in the first place. Since they know they can't make anything from you, they don't spend precious time and resorces on talking to you.
No you should not have to produce your own videos as a poster said, but I've learned that when a user says that, they are really asking a question; "What would be good enough for you, if you were making the video?" It shows that no one has a clue about what you think is good. All we know is that you feel everything made since 1986 sucks. Ok. To you it does. But what would make it not suck? In all the things that have been posted and promoed here in the last 6 years there is not one that has good stuff in it? That's what users mean when they say 'go make your own stuff'. They are saying "Show us what you think is good."
As to making it personal you started this thread with personal attacks on producers. In that wall of words you opened with, you called producers traitors for not making new material, and denying that they did in the past. People's lives change, and they move on. While we don't tend to see much wrong with tied up naked people being tickled here on the good old TMF, a lot of employers DO. Not carrying a flag that said you made stuff like that is pretty understandable if you wish to have a shot at job advancement in some palces. There is still a stigma about having worked in the porn industry. Most people try to dodge it after they leave.
You opend the door on personal stuff with that and other comments. Other posters responded in kind.
It's all GR violations by the way. This thread has been on the edge of getting vanished a few times. So end the personal stuff on all sides folks.
The bottom line?
The number of free rides on seeing media is down because the market is brutal.
If you are endlessly negative with no constructive aspects, you will not win much respect. Lighten up, and at least try to say WHY things don't work for you. Remember that some aspects of videos are objective, and while they may not be to your taste they may well be spot on for others. Insulting things like that for no reason gains you nothing. Stop it.
