With modern tech, there are more options to earn as an entertainer…
One of the biggest trends in the modern world is technology disruption. Armed with powerful computers and cameras that fit in our pockets, we all have the ability to produce and sell digital content to anyone in the world.
The oldest profession in the world is not spared from technology disruption. Patrons are increasingly watching from their phones, instead of hooking up. In the adult sex work industry, pornography is by far the biggest form of adult entertainment.
This old and large industry however, is currently undergoing significant revolution. The advent of YouTube style adult sites such as Pornhub and XVideos has turned porn into a free, easily available commodity. As a result, profitability in the industry has declined rapidly.
This trend can be witnessed by content partner programs that are popping up in Pornhub and other adult tube websites. These video aggregators, helped destroy adult movie production studios. Increasingly starved of new content, they now encourage regular people to turn on their phones and shoot. The demand for these cheap homemade videos has created a new market for independent porn content creators.
The modern porn entrepreneur is increasingly, a woman that is tech and media savvy. Supported by the many websites which provides her with steady stream of potential customers such as Pornhub, Chaturbate, ManyVids etc, she can produce and distribute her own content.
She can do this and avoid exploitation by middlemen, who used her in the past to get rich, while paying her poorly. If this lady lives in a developing country, she can connect to the world and earn in US Dollars. It is right to assume that a disruption has already occurred in the adult industry. Industry players are just slow to realize this and adapt.
Issues in the Adult Cam Industry
Every technology has advantages and disadvantages. While sex workers in need of money, can leverage the connection potential of the internet to eliminate middlemen and reach their prospects directly. They also expose themselves to risks such as being recorded, public shaming, online bullying and moral objections that comes from sex work.
There are technology dependent ways for sex workers to mitigate the aforementioned disadvantages. These include using privacy centric messenger apps for communications such as Snapchat. Snapchat has a disappearing content feature. Content sent disappears when the owner views it.
Cam models can also limit the use of public broadcast sessions where they show themselves naked. They may choose instead to go into private sessions and have their broadcast in public, clothed and sexy.
In our technology infused modern world, it should indeed be anachronistic for sex workers to either stand in the street hustling or going from one nightclub to another, in search of clients.
They can simply login and connect to the whole world all from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The technology is there, the adult platforms to meet customers, are there. The only things missing are knowledge, and assistance with setting up and collecting international payments.
NaijaCathouse exists to connect African sex workers to the rest of the world. We believe that videos can be an important source of export for Africa. Porn videos, similar to Nollywood, are among the many types of digital content that Africans can leverage for foreign exchange earnings.
We are here to help Nigerian and African adult content creators find a market and earn a good living from their work.
