Brits aren´t going to pay for AVS...

https://mashable.com/article/proton-...cation-signups

or is this nothing to do with money, & the whole AVS system is floored within the first weekend, with no one wanting to show Identity, or worse, under 18´s looking at porn? :2 cents:


Either way, this could be the end of AVS, it´s gone before it´s started :upsidedow

Why would they pay for it in the first place? It's the providers that pay not the viewers.

The whole age verification idea is based on a flawed assumption. It's the parents' job to monitor what their kids are doing online - not the responsibility of content creators.

Forcing websites to take on that role doesn't work, and isn't enforceable, especially when things like VPNs make it easy to bypass restrictions.

It's definitely enforceable and they are already working on just that.

Wishful thinking.

Did you get any customers to bite the bullet yet and pay the fee?

UK is a communist country. they will ban VPN next, which is easily detectable.

they don't want porn in the UK since it goes against sharia law.

the total sales of porn in the UK is a pretty small percentage. the US laws are much more lenient. let the tubes fight over UK traffic.

Where did you see this rule :1orglaugh

We charge the viewer, a one time fee and they can view our sites...

absolutely, it´s the parents responsibility :thumbsup

yes, this is true

yes, we´ve had sales over the weekend, from both our websites & on platforms, Brits from the UK :thumbsup

VPN will need to be banned if this continues, & yes, the UK, stealing freedom :helpme

Awesome times for VPN companies. Send out PR's with crazy high increases and everybody will talk about it. Doesn't matter if it's rigth or not lmao.

Putting a thumbs up after an insanely idiotic statement doesn't make it less stupid. If you're dealing with 3 customers with a personal connection you might get 2 to go pay for age verification but that's not how any of this works or will work in the future.

So your in a VPN thread saying that

1) Brits aren't going to pay for AVS.

2) This will end the AVS system as if it's not required by law.

3) You charge your own customers for AVS. (See 1)

Are you drunk or just talking out of your ass for funsies? :1orglaugh

already a huge petition has been signed and going to parliament...

I´m saying that if people start using the VPN to avoid the AVS, it will end the AVS before it´s even got going...

Idiotic, no, just keeping it real. I see more smut on terrestrial TV these days, and nudity on the red carpet...

damn, music stars like Taylor Swift show so much body that´s not porn, and it´s meant for youth, I can see the AVS law being turned around & placing the situation to parental control, it should have been this way from the start...


why do your posts sound like you´re wanting AVS and against freedom? :2 cents:

The law isn't going away because people bypass it. And I've been using AVS to cash out from a casino for at least a year, people will use it when they really want but they damn sure won't pay for it.

The government goes after the sites regardless of what the customers do anyhow. Comply or die.

exactly as i´m doing, adapt or die, we´re here to stay in the adult business...

however, like people want to use VPN rather than AVS, there´s people that will pay for AVS and enjoy what they want to see. Besides, it´s only 2 quid for life, it´s not a massive problem :2 cents:

What's the conversion comparison with vs without?

There is no shot you wouldn't lose almost all viewers.

I will say one thing, since the AVS was applied to the ModelCentro sites, I noticed a dip in my traffic on my official subscription site.

This is what I find curious & would like to know where it come from though...

I notice on Saturday, just gone, the 26th July and 27th, a huge increase in traffic, similar to the same as before the AVS was applied a month or so ago.

Could this be Brits on VPN. I will look into this, but this is very strange to see the spike in traffic & join hits & joins.
