Seriously, you have to be good at something to survive in today's media environment. The niches are all grabbed by the internet. This isn't going to fix Playboy's problems because they're still going to have the half-assed semi-porn thing going for them in a world that is defined by Maxim on the men's entertainment side and Hustler on the porn side. Hell, Hustler is probably better than Playboy in terms of social commentary at this point.
Yep Some kids using those articles for citation on school reports College freshman swear by those stories for their term papers hhhee
some much free porn out there for literally everyone to see. Idk how they manage to stay in business. I've never held a playboy magazine but if I wanted to see boobs all I had to do was Bing Boobs in image search and get a trillion high quality 2k/4k images.
The problem with binging boobs is that you grow out of it by the time you turn 17. Then you need to travel down more complicated roads to get your jollies. Like Playboy in German. Sent from my KIW-L24 using Tapatalk
I'm thinking Playboy should go all online digital at this point and allow customers to customize the magazine for themselves. That's the only way they're going to keep circulation up, by removing it entirely. You'd have people who wanted it to be a nudie rag customizing it to do that, with all the back issues digitized and available for that. You'd have people who wanted Rolling Stone-lite with some nudes doing that, etc. It'd have to be a subscription based service, supported by advertising that the customers wanted to look at and essentially selected for themselves by the way they customized the mag.
I swear Bing was made for porn. Type in a pornstar/model in Bing image/video search and watch how Microsoft's engine accurately makes suggestions and organizes shit.
I don't use the NSA search engines. And before you say it... Yeah I know, they're ALL the NSA's search engines.
Ha! I knew this would happen. As if people read Playboy for the articles. LOLs! That's just what men tell their lady friends.
