The last couple of years have been tough on all of us and many industries are having to shut down or reinvent the way that they work. This is true for the most intimate of industries as well. The adult movie industry has gone through some major upheavals in the past and has ushered in a new era of safe and quality content.
We had reported earlier how the whole industry had decided to change after the whole Raj Kundra incident in India. Now there is a bigger risk that is looming over the industry that had benefitted the most from the free time and social isolation that was expected from the consumers.
Studies reveal that the world population, in general, is entering into a state known as “porn fatigue”. This is a state characterised by the lack of enthusiasm from the viewer towards the various videos available on the many porn sites out there. They spend more time browsing through the available content than actually watching it.
An employee at XHamster.com, a very popular adult website, told us that the traffic has been steady after the exponential increase since February 2020 but the user behaviour has changed drastically.
“Our algorithms are the best in the world. The cookie policy that everyone allows when they visit the site helps us understand what a particular visitor likes and then share the relevant content to them even if they do not log in or create an account.”
“Earlier a person tended to stick to a particular genre that they liked and usually mixed and matched with something different once a week. For example, if a person liked videos under the “foot fetish” category, they might watch “massage” videos occasionally. We used to capture this pattern and deliver content accordingly.”
“Now, things are different. The visitors to our website are aimlessly browsing the website like they are trying to select a movie on Netflix. They only watch the autoplay that happens when you hover over the thumbnail and then move on. The main reason is that they have watched every single video we have during the lockdown and quarantine. Now they just hope to stumble on something new by accident. Our algorithm can no longer predict their behaviour.”
Other adult websites also reported similar findings from across the world.
An interesting development was that the traffic and time spent on the websites has suddenly catapulted on live adult webcam sites. These sites provide users with the availability to watch the live webcam of models from around the world who will do what you require on cam at a price. The parallel economy that works on these websites ensures that both the websites and the models make money ensuring that the “performance” on cam is always top-notch.
