RE: Babeshows - General Chat & Discussion
Positive spin says: BS are merely servicing the guys that are paying the most money - in whatever way they wish to be serviced. Thus, they are keeping the crucial people happy, and returning, in future. I.e. keeping the whole industry functioning.
Over the last five years or so, the industry has undertaken this process - effectively replacing the old userbase with a somewhat cross-over one of similar, but subtly, different desires. (Some might say the origins of the change lay in the industry's poor use of new tech going back a decade or more.) The downsized industry that's resulted is merely the settlement towards it finding its most effective and natural size and shape for the 2020's.
Negative spin says: The industry is incrementally reducing the amount of crucial guys they'll be able to call on in the future by pursuing its current reductive path. A path that's looking to specify demand to its consumer, based on the type of product the industry wishes to provide. (Iow, the output is being tailored to a shape favoured more by the babes than us.) The favoured product proscribes a "survival of the wealthiest" stance as to whom it wishes to cater; pandering to an ever small niche of punters that will, ultimately, prove destructive. (Insiders will never see/admit to this as short-term thinking because there are still enough guys clinging on - for the mo - to make it seem like things are successful and can continue in this direction.) The delusional will eventually see they are being manipulated and shortchanged at every turn. Unsatisfied, they will drift away like so many already have.
Regardless of the final outcome, and which of the scenarios above prove to have the greater degree of truth to them, we've been able to see the difference in the userbases for quite some time now. For the average old school punter, the babeshow experience is about MUCH more than the end moments of actual one-on-one interaction. (To use the cliched football analogy: It's as much about what is done without the ball as with it!) To us lot, key is the overall satisfaction we can kid ourselves to about being around what's, let's face it, a craven, greed-driven, industry. The 'added value' of everything seen and heard is essential to our continued fandom. To the newer guys, only the actual time and shape of their individual interactions really matter (it seems).
As a result of this, the difference also exhibits itself in how the babes feel they can express themselves on the shows. (As punters we get the babes we deserve; the more we put up with and pay towards bad attitudes onscreen the more we will get them.) To the older crowd the suspension of disbelief necessitates the shows hide their base interests with a presentation that belies their true nature. This enables the punter to maintain his fantasy and illusions concerning the babe's amenability and availability to him. We can't do that when all we see are unavailability slates and attitudes that scream "I'm entitled to my £3.50 a minute" every time we're around the sites. The newer punter (and their muses), in stark contrast, don't give a chuff for such niceties. The money-led ethic can be laid bare because it has little consequence for (still paying) punters that only want ever closer (more exclusive) access to the babe in question.
Given the above, and particularly if you favour the more negative spin I outlined previously, you can't help but come to one conclusion: All participating at BS right now are party to enabling the ultimate downfall of the shows as we once knew them.
