Yes I do realize that Brazzers is a web studio. I was using DVD's as an example of a tangible product my statement applies to web based media as well. I find your statement about some IR fans losing out because of a bunch of racists somewhat insulting. If those very same IR fans actually translated into profits to a studios bottom line then there would be hundred different sights out there catering to their every demand. IR fans may be vocal and loud but their constant complaining doesnt translate into profits to companies bottom line. Why would any company continue to invest in a losing proposition. Once again money talks bullshit walks.
Sorry you feel insulted but I really don't care. Years of being aware of for lack of a better term I'll call "shady" business practices when it comes to IR has made me somewhat skeptical. I'm not apart of Brazzers, so I don't know the numbers financially. All I can do is look from the outside looking in. Scenes with A. A-B list good looking female talent and B. A-B list black male talent were given bad ratings.Which partially led to those sites being cut. Do you think that all of them were bad scenes? Add in the fact that the comment section on those scenes pages were filled with nasty things. Next thing you know, those sites are cut. So from the outside looking in, that's what it looks like. Bramm admitted to the fact that SCENE RATINGS(along with site views and scene profits) played a part on how they judged the success of the sites/scenes. I really have no problem with Brazzers cutting their IR production. I completely understand that we as IR fans aren't their target audience. Fine by me. Like you said, if it isn't making money, why do it. What I have a problem with is that a few racist fans played a part in the decision. That's all. Just stating I am not one of those asinine IR fans.They bug the shit out of me too. I'm actually pretty logical.

What I was responding to, was the "Just like mainstream media if it does not generate revenue it gets cancelled." Remark you made in your "Bullshit Walks" post. For BRAZZERS, that's simply not true. They still have there IR websites on thier site. If it wasn't making them any money, they would take it down, no? All I'm saying is, that there are succesful IR sites that do pretty well for themselves like the two sites I mentioned above. IF Brazzers were to do more IR sites such as these (which was the Original posters' question) how could that not generate any "business"? As you said, from an ethical standpoint, "this is all about business". I don't know of any company that doesn't like to make as much revenue as they can. This is why much of the new IR sites are on Mofos. I'm assuming because they are generating some "revenue". As far as some posters thinking of racist conspiracies, I agree with that as well. But if you look at it from their point of view, just as soon as Brazzers began allowing people to post on thier site, there has been mostly angry racist rants by posters, not only against IR, but Minorities in general. They have not moderated any of these remarks and basically allowed them to fester. Giving a portion of thier members the idea that they are fine with this behavior. Specifically, thier black members. So what are they supposed to think? Brazzers is basically telling them that they don't care. But yet, are shocked and surprised why they get angry responses from these people. Not that it's all warranted. There are alot of crazy conspiracy theorists' out there, but by and large....what can you expect? Go figure.
