Why do you say that? Because we are interested in what Richie was talking about, saying he felt an emotional connection with a couple of the straight guys he worked with? I don't take anything said by a model or for that matter by management as gospel. But it is fun for me to listen to and to read what the players have to say and then form my own conclusions. Broke Straight Boys has always been different to me from other porn sites in that we get to hear from the models, talking as themselves and not always in character as a sexual performer. Even with the lack of my type of models on the site lately, between the forum, the behind the scenes stuff and the archives, I still find myself entertained here.
Wouldn't be the first time he has entered thread and commented.
First off there are other good sites that try to get their models to open up and some do. But the driving motivation for most players is money as in any business and usually do , others have a langue barrier and the better sites translate. Also there are sites that put their models first which I think Broke Straight Boys tries to do as do the other top sites. But no site as has been said can afford to keep their models busy enough to just film with them unless the need for money is not dire. On the other hand a site that treats its models fairly will find a loyalty by the better human being model as in all good businesses.
Back to this idea that professional porn studios make money off of their talent. I wonder how many models believe this. I find it interesting that a studio like Broke Straight Boys, or D and E Productions, pays for airfare, pays for std testing, provides housing, provides food, pays the model for their work, promotes it on twitter and provides exposure to the model, and all the model has to do is show up and do the gig. A model who is on onlyfans has to provide their own camera, lights, computer with an excellent internet connection, pay for std testing (hopefully they’re doing this), find people to collaborate with and then turn around and pay a percentage to onlyfans to upload their content to onlyfans’ shitty server that doesn’t allow downloads and has horrible buffering issues. Not to mention find people to subscribe, which is usually people who are members of the “main stream studio” that they think is making so much money off of them. Lol. And it’s the same for Chaturbate….provide your own camera, lights, computer with excellent internet speed. A model can sit there for 3 hours to make $50-100. Chaturbate takes 54.5% of the profits. If I buy 100 tokens for $10.99 (this is the actual price) and give all 100 tokens to a model, that model makes $5.
Sorry guys, I don’t see how main stream studios are the problem. Main stream studios will be back soon. You just wait and see.

Excellent points. Always two sides to every coin.
From what I hear, the guys that calibrate with each other for social media (OF & JFF) its a lot of drama. Many of them don't get tested, some use out of date tests, and a lot of them plan on booking a Airbnb, and they have to pay for flights and there is a lot of out of pocket expenses to find out that only 1-2 or 3 guys actually show up for the shoot and the rest of the guy flake out and don't show up.
I've been hearing all kinds of crazy stories, there is this one gay couple, they are big with filming OF, they invite other guys gay and straight and bisexual to calibrate, then the boyfriends freaks out and gets jealous the whole group of guys (the ones that do show up and pay there way) get stuck in this fight with the boyfriend team because of jealousy and then they don't get tested and its a complete mess!
Then these same boys go to professionally run studios that pay for there testing to find out that these same boys that film and calibrate with each other for OF, do not clear the STD testing...then these same guys state to me "well I'm on PreP" which means nothing...LOL. Its great for HIV but there are a slew of STD's out there that PreP doesn't protect them from. There recklessness, there thinking just to film themselves for OF/JFF to make a few bucks is crazy!
And I am seeing this more and more with these guys...its a shame honestly...it really is. Oh...and most of them don't get the proper documentation and ID's from the models so what happen to PornHub/Xtube is going to eventually happen to OF/JFF site, you will see many of these guys shut down sooner or later.

Yes. Good points Jay. As with many businesses and industries there are some structural changes going on in the porn industry too. And as with many businesses, porn studios are struggling to get good applicants. The heydays of really high salaries for models may never come back to where they were, either in the same numerical terms or adjusted for inflation. The industry will not be what it once was. Content piracy will always be a thorn in the side.
As we have elaborated on in the past no model getting into the business now will ever have a realistic hope of keeping his porn work secret from friends, family, coworkers and so on. So it makes it uniquley harder for these businesses to find new talent. But to your point Jay, Is the porn industry an outdated dinosaur that's an unsustainable business model going forward? I don't think so. It will be tougher to turn a profit in such an industry. There will be more "mergers", buyouts and maybe some bankruptcies here and there. But people will still want to see well filmed, well lit, well choreographed, professionally done porn now and into the future. There will still be a demand and a market there, in spite of how much free (mostly lower quality) content is out there.
Also to your point Jay about the idea that the studios are exploiting the models, getting rich off of their efforts and so on, is a bit overblown. While not completely untrue, it's a lot more complicated than just that. As you alluded to with all the overhead expenses the porn studios take on, when it comes to the consideration of employee exploitation (say through modest market rate compensation) it's also a matter of degree. I mean you could go down the whole rabbit hole in a discussion of capitalism and the exploitation of factory workers, farm laborers, minimum wage service employees, lower level white collar employees who put in a 50+ hour workweek making salary instead of an hourly wage with overtime, etc...and the unfairness and/or injustice of how the collective results of their labor make the people at the top filthy rich. It is the way it is. The porn industry is not unique to this. I would even dare say they are hardly some of the worst offenders or exploiters of their emloyees out there in the business world. Ask someone who has worked in a coal mine his whole productive adult life and then was dying of black lung.
Are porn studios the poster child for the best treatment of their employees? Hardly. Absolutely not. But are they even among the worst out there? While admittedly I have not been in their employees' shoes myself, my guess would be a resounding no.

What a crazy scene out there. The ignorance of it all. "No. You don't need to test me for HIV, Covid or STD's because I'm on PreP. (Or at least I'm lying and telling you I am.)"
Those are also the kinds of guys who want to be the first to sue if they catch something on a company set. (SMH)
Hahaha. I actually watched this movie a few days ago. Was I Miranda explaining my points? lol.

Thank you to all of those who had positive and supportive feedback on My YouTube video! It took a really long time for me to be finally be comfortable enough to share some of my intimate experiences working in this industry. I love my fans and those who choose to support me and I hope to keep you guys happy! Feel free to subscribe to My Onlyfans where I post every single day with a variety of different, HD content. My onlyfans is: onlyfans.com/therichiewest
Being a fan I was interested in seeing what he said . I think the above proved one reason he made it was to drum up business for himself. Nothing wrong with that & in fact a smart move on his part. I also like to think he wanted us to feel the player's view point or rather 1 players view point & I applaud him for that too.
The tawdry part of the industry is and always was a big problem. What is Broke Straight Boys doing to control it for all models in it not just yours & to keep outside forces from taking over & even more drastic closing the industry down. Also we as users bare some responsibility and must do our part. I am ashamed I have given little thought and done nothing so am as guilty as any one else.
Yes. There is no doubt that the porn industry has some very dark sides to it. In my post above I do not mean to imply that it has no faults or does not overall in general terms deserve a shady or even sleazy reputation. We've all heard stories and rumors of exploitation, plying models with drugs, and even the downright physical and sexual abuse sometimes of its employees. I hope you all understand that I am not trying to downplay, condone or excuse any of that at all. I don't give the industry a pass on any of that outrageous and illegal behavior. As Richie's comments seemed geared to the narow focus of model compensation (and the decline of said compensation) in the industry...my comments were likewise geared toward that particular narrow financial aspect.
I would love for the models to still be making what they were in the 80's through the early 2000's. (In inflationary terms if not outright exact dollar amounts.) Unfortunately as Richie points out, the traditional porn site business model has been in decline. Nobody can really deny that. Subscription rates for various sites are sometimes a third less than they were from 10 years ago. Other sites are still charging close to the same dollar rate by the month that they were charging over 10 years ago. Regarless of the fact that in inflationary terms all of their costs have gone up considerably in 10-15 years. So unfortunately model pay is one area that will suffer. We as customers would all love the idea of an upside down reality where our subscription costs keep going down, while model pay either stays the same or increases.
Richie has made the calculation of many citizens who are employed in any mainstream economy job. If you feel that your services are worth more than you are being compensated..or your efforts are not appreciated enough by your employer in other intangible ways...then you are always free to quit and look for better pay, better benefits and better working conditions elsewhere. That is everybody's right.

This is true. And so as I said in my initial comment, I will ALWAYS wish Richie the best in everything he does.Richie has made the calculation of many citizens who are employed in any mainstream economy job.

Good points, the testing the studios provide being very important. Unless a model doing a cam show or OnlyFans can find a scene partner with a full vaccination card, in this day and age the model who did more than just solos would be taking his health and perhaps his life into jeopardy. As hot a studio scene partner Masyn Thorne is, he is the same kid who in May 2020 at the peak of COVID 19 bottomed bareback for Fraternity X for an entire fraternity of cock. With that irresponsible background, what model in his right mind would want to do a cam show or OnlyFans scene with him?
they're lining up and he is working ALL OF THE TIME. I know which Fraternity X group you're talking about. I want to say Chase Daniels was at that shoot as well. I don't subscribe to that site, but I see updated clips all of the time based on the people I follow on social media. In the 3 minute clip I did see, Masyn Thorne was very loud and vocal. I feel like that spilled over into his more recent scenes here at Broke Straight Boys
I do remember thinking, WOW, all of this during a pandemic.
I wanna say the last Atlanta Broke Straight Boys scenes were filmed on the very start of the pandemic, because they had minimal people there. Also, If you go back and watch the before scene of Jos Alvarez and Lucas, you hear Sha saying that he won't be there for the after scene and for the models to just look at the camera and talk about how they felt the scene went. LOL. Then when you watch the after scene, it starts with a pre-roll of the cum shot into the talking, which makes me think Sha wasn't there at all...LOL. He probably just trusted Jos Alvarez with the scene and kept the amount of people in the room to a minimal, which is smart. Again, this was way at the beginning before the true outbreak. By the way, if Jos Alvarez did direct that scene, he did a fucking amazing job, because there are some great positions and angles.

Many of those entering the gay porn industry need to be advised about these relevant issues. How you get to those going to less then upstanding sites like Broke Straight Boys is a problem but one we all must face and try to solve. Some entering are knowledgeable but as has ben pointed out many are totally unaware.
