The aesthetics aren't great, but this is because it doesn't matter. Users are otherwise concerned by other things.
In my opinion - the only "startup" in the adult industry doing anything really original is myfreecams.
The media coverage will help them, but I cant see how this is doing anything original or new.

The idea is simple: you can watch girls on cam for free. But to talk to them you have to buy tokens, you tip girls you like and so on. So it's essentially modeled a bit like a strip club but on a much grander scale.
There innovation is very subtle, i don't think there's much room to really innovate on this space. I was trying to make the point that there isn't much room for anything original.
That must have been 15 years ago. Most of the industry runs on shitty PHP/Perl scripts running on cPanel powered dedicated/shared servers. See http://www.gfy.com (Now Hiring, Buy and Sell and Business services forums - NSFW)
