I see a shift in the culture of this website. This website used to be full of people sharing videos through many threads, and we had a main shared google drive and everyone chipped-in. Going through the drive is much like a treasure hunt, everyday some random and epic video may appear.

Sadly, that thrill is long gone. It's been awhile since people post a drive of videos to share. I have to make this clear though : we should not expect to receive free videos that someone else out there needs to pay for. Someone somewhere has to pay for it and if everything is free nobody would. However, the culture here is such that, people aren't willing to share anymore, even rare videos that are free, or videos of cam show recordings that are supposedly free. I have even seen people asking to trade videos that can be found online, for free.

Thing is, I have nothing against trades because I don't think people should come here looking for everything to be free. And nobody wants to be the giver all the time. But I think the culture of sharing has shifted too dramatically to a culture of "its mine and I won't give it away for free". Here are a few exceptions. Quasa himself is a major giver, and dare I say, people don't appreciate enough. There are many that I don't mention too. But there used to be many like him, it was a culture back then.

People contribute in different ways, from sweetmilk and his constant sharing and gentledude with his undying contribution to the "tube" category. But other than the unsung heroes, the rest are more reluctant, selfish should I put it.

As for me, I have multiple accounts and have shared content in the past. But if I may be honest, this shift in culture makes me less inclined to share too. Everyday I see people posting "I have xxxxx, pm me if interested" everywhere, sometimes even in "videos" where it is a place we supposedly share.

I'm not saying post for free, or only trade. As either extremes are undesirable. Perhaps a middle ground? People should realize that as a community, we know each other best. It'll be best for everyone here if we were more courteous or generous to people who perhaps couldn't afford or have content lock in their countries.

Peace out.

I see what you are saying Lovepave. I joined this site on January third of this year and I noticed some people wanting to share what they find and only two people want to trade. From what these two people are trying to say about their trades is that what they have found is a lot better than what everyone else has found out on the web.

I got 2 videos to share with you. I can either share them with you here as an attachment or add them to my google drive for you to download for yourself.

I stop sharing when the privately shared videos got posted on the internet. Also it's not helping the performers when their paid videos are shared as soon as the videos are available for sale.

These are the videos. Good thing I stopped there.

I've got the view of it as this: If something can be found for free on the Internet, those that share them here are mainly just doing the busy work many of us do as well and are nice enough to share what they have (much of what I have has already been posted so I'd just be choking us on reposts) and it's a good way to aggregate the free stuff. On the other hand, I kind of feel things that were paid for or some how acquired in a way that's not open to everyone (such as recording a live cam) that can be shared if the person wants to (though if it was paid for I always feel those should never be shared since a person should always pay for what's up behind a pay wall, call me moral on that) but if they wish to share with other people who have paid or do that and not share with those who won't trade, I'm not going to get flustered. There's plenty of beautiful and gorgeous women to see and those I don't I won't miss too much since... well I'll barely be aware of it.

Lovepave, I understand your position and I get why trading can be a bit of hassle. The thing is we have to be careful not negatively impact the livelihood of the pregnant models who make these clips. We share too many payed clips and models are less likely to make pregnancy vids. It's a balancing act. I usually share cam vids as they are public and not sold like regular clip stores.

Thanks for your replies. In direct reply to orta03, I understand where you’re coming from, and I too considered that realm of questions before posting. There is a profound difficulty in addressing this three way approach. The trades, the givers and the welfare of content creators. I find it hard to debate without violating one another, thus I choose to forgo talking about the monetary profits of content creators. From the post above, I am merely addressing this as a culture. The culture of being closer and more civilized as a community. The idea that we should come onto this website feeling like we have support from one another and this picture is bigger than our individual self. Haven’t we all found a community that largely think alike? How sad would it be if within this community, people still feel that they’re in it alone, that no-one would share just because what’s their’s is theirs.

Now. I agree there’s no right answer to this. Yes. Content creators should profit. Agreed. Yes. What’s yours is indeed yours and you have total control over it. And of course, trading may be the most democratic way around things. - but I feel that some generosity would be better than none. Some kindness can exist within this community. - and it’s not like we’re creating something new. It used to exist more commonly amongst us. Used to be friendly here.

If TL;DR, I just feel that this community is starting to get colder. People aren’t as friendly anymore. There’s no right or wrong but, like charity, you can choose not to express generosity but you could also choose to help one another. I apologize if this sounds wrongfully directed as I reiterate. I don’t wish for pregnant models to profit less, I don’t wish for people to stop trading. Perhaps, I just wish for a friendlier and more appreciative community.

Not everyone will agree, I respect. But we can agree that we’re the only crazy ones who will entertain one another in our odd, unique and surprising fetishes.

i see nothing wrong with posting the following
photosets i have taken why because i paid the models and own the content
private camshows why because i paid for content
custom videos the models were paid so person who paid has right to share
foreign preggo videos from japan and europe plus they have wild stuff be careful some illegal content ie beastiality can be found from those lands.
porn content from places like pregnant kink or atk models already paid
never off clips4sales models pages or off their manyvids pages because thats their work
same with southern charms.
