Adult Tube Site Journey

not really and aged domain, it did have history from 2013 under another owner for some stupid app, i really did not even care abt it, i went strong on seo and content, everything is hosted on bunny.net storage, and reverse proxied with a vps. Issue is the actual hosting, dmcas are not a problem, but if a lawyer, an actual lawyer or firm sends an email to your host, they could block your ip. I never thought abt it and it hit me today. Also they been ddossing my site for the last 3 days pretty heavy, which i fixed quick but still they on my dick pretty heavy, 1 domain with subdomains for ads and media

yeah you need some offshore, then just ignore the lawyers...depending on what your content is....obviously theres certain lawyers you do not ignore in the adult world..also for a fresh site like that i'd avoid adding ads so soon...I'm not looking to start putting mine in until maybe 4 months mark

i knew i could because i had a very very strong following, i just knew i could take a decent share in the italian market pretty quick, thats why i grew it so fast, ad revenue is not bad and pretty much the only thing that makes me want to keep the site up, also the hosting is well know, dmca ignored bla bla, but as soon as they saw an european lawyer they just blocked my shit

i dont monitor those stats tbh, i had yesterday 126k visits, 183k video views, pretty bad ratio but i believe it because most people come for some onlyfans girls that have 1-2 new vids, watch and dip

I would want to stalk my audience and know what they are looking at and give them what they want more of. How many active videos do you have?

i had less than 1k, posted some everyday, i do track views on videos so i see what models people go for + i have a 8k telegram channel fully organic, and i have a requests system where people can suggest the models they want posted and the most voted ones get posted

fandistrict said:

its pretty crazy but yes. 130k visits a day and 160k video views in the first 35 days since launch. I might be goated, but you need to really find a "hole" in the market and fill it up

Hi mate!

First of all, I want to congratulate you on the project's success. Keep it up!

I wanted to ask: do you think self-hosting the videos affects performance compared to using embeds?
