【2020年教我們的色情影片消費倫理】#葉郎電影徵信社
2020年原本是網路色情影片平台 Pornhub 最得意的一年:
世界主要城市接連進入封城狀態,實體社交行為驟減,許多人紛紛轉向尋求網路色情影片的情感慰藉。這個和新冠病毒疫情一起現身的消費趨勢致使各網路色情平台流量暴增,也讓推出付費會員機制才5年的網路色情霸主 Pornhub 越來越接近他們期許的終極目標——成為色情影片領域的 Netflix 。
然而劇情直轉急下,一週前紐約時報專欄作者 Nicholas Kristof 紀思道指證歷歷地控訴 Pornhub 上充斥各種兒童色情、性侵和報復式性愛影片,且經營者欠缺具體作為防制,等於是在靠這些犯罪產物來營利。消息見報沒幾天,信用卡組織 Mastercard 和 VISA 也在進行調查後斷然中止對該平台提供支付服務,連同早就對 Pornhub 實施抵制的另一個支付平台 Paypal,等於讓 Pornhub 的收費機制武功全廢。
Pornhub 因而在美國時間昨天(12月15日)一早壯士斷腕地宣佈移除所有用戶上傳的影片,僅保留合作的內容供應商和模特兒計畫的影片。初步估計被移除的數量可能高達上千萬筆,佔該平台影片總數的將近8成。
所以,接下來色情影片的消費者該怎麼辦?除了不用腦地屢屢隨老司機上車之外,我們還能有那些選項?我們要如何在每一個消費的十字路口做出更符合產業倫理的決定?
雖然發展進程有一些時間上的些微差異,但好萊塢電影史的框架非常有助於理解過去20年發生在色情工業上的演變:
1980年代末的錄影帶和1990年代末的 DVD 不只讓好萊塢片廠財源廣進,同樣也給色情工業帶來空前的市場機會。接下來隨著消費者收藏影片的櫃子趨向滿載,這些往日榮景也日漸被網際網路給蠶食殆盡。2007年1月 Steve Jobs 發表第一支iPhone;幾週後第一個大型色情影片網站 XHamster 上線;幾個月後 Pornhub 上線。即將肆虐色情工業的那隻哥吉拉巨獸已呼之欲出。
「我們目標是一舉拿下『色情影片界的 Netflix』的王冠!」5年前推出每月 9.99 美元付費會員制的 Pornhub 副總裁 Corey Price 霸氣地宣示。他認為以該公司大量片庫的優勢,消費者肯定會立刻擁抱這個新機制,並使他們色情隨選服務霸主的地位更加穩固。
Pornhub 的市場野心很快就從意圖變成既遂。混合了 YouTube 和 Netflix 殺死「電影」的模式,Pornhub 藉由「免費觀賞的用戶上傳片庫」和「付費會員專屬的高畫質片庫」兩面夾殺,讓實體色情影片幾乎完全失去立足之地。去年一份統計研究中 Pornhub 的網站流量衝進全球第八名,甚至超越大家更熟悉的 Instagram、Amazon 和 Netflix。
2020年新冠病毒疫情對於色情工業的打擊是雙重的。一方面實體影片的零售銷量受到封城的影響而加速衰退,另一方面影片生產端也因為各種拍攝限制而使供應鏈幾乎完全中斷。跟好萊塢電影工業一樣,色情影片工業正被這個天外飛來的隕石加速進化/滅絕的進程。在此同時,Pornhub 則是跟 Netflix 一樣從3月疫情爆發以來就迎來流量的巨幅增長。曾經是 NSFW 工作場所不宜的服務,在居家防疫的時代立刻變成24小時隨時都擠滿人潮的色情便利店。
Pornhub 終於拿下了他們想望已久的串流王冠。但和 Netflix 不一樣的是,Pornhub 王冠上那顆最大的鑽石卻是帶有先天倫理缺陷的血鑽石。問題就出在影片來源不明而且缺乏審核過濾機制。
除了紀思道列舉的兒童色情和性侵影片等等來自用戶上傳的不法內容之外,即便後期與 Pornhub 合作的色情影片供應商上傳的影片也屢生事端......
下文還有 Pornhub 公關部門的神操作如何利用我們的要害一次一次躲過襲擊,以及什麼是公平貿易色情影片......全文刊載於付費訂閱媒體端傳媒,請賞文字工一口飯。

【油管教會我的三件事】(English writing below)
The 3 Lessons Youtube Taught Me
🎉 感謝三百位天才!🎉 😁
我的頻道,在2019年12月29日大約早上十點半,達到300位訂閱。
我在今年六月做了一個極端的決定, 就是我油管頻道要每星期更新。
極端因為我每天時間都已不夠用。
但我有一個壞習慣。
一旦決定要做的事情,我會如閃電俠般地衝刺,以推土機的力量把所有的障礙都剷平。
我慶幸自己在台灣找到一位可靠的剪輯師幫忙。
如果要一手包辦,要嘛我就頭髮全部發白或英年早逝,看哪個先到。
我的頻道在2019年三月達到一百位訂閱。當時,裡頭只有過去兩年隨性般地上傳的七支影片。
每星期更新影片,在六月的最後一個星期開始。從六月到十二月,因為工作繁忙,我只錯過一週的更新。
每週更新了25支影片後,我從油管學會了三件事:
一、舊的黃金依然是黃金
是真的,單憑一支「愛瘋」也可以成立一個油管頻道。
目前在我頻道的影片,是我在2016年到2017年做的臉書直播,用蘋果手機6和6S 的前置相機拍攝。
以前我每星期做直播,累積了很多影片,只是畫質就有點「另類」了。
我曾想過用一台好相機,在一個漂亮的場景,重拍那六十多場直播,讓影片看起來更專業。
可是⋯⋯想到頭髮花白之事⋯
我每星期上傳影片,漸漸地,在六個月的時間內,流量往上爬,新的觀眾也因為油管的推薦而看到我的影片。
我的油管影片都有超過一百的流量。
有一支解析金蟾的影片有過7800的觀看率,131個讚:
https://youtu.be/dtcU9GG80wQ
另一支提到手淫如何危害財運,有過6800的觀看率和45個讚:
https://youtu.be/lPH26j2XQGw
還有一支介紹報父母恩咒的影片,有過1800的觀看率和35個讚:
https://youtu.be/x-7GPmbq5nw
目前為止,沒有人向我投訴畫質不好。我想影片內容,夾麥的收音清晰和後製特效有幫助。
很多時候,這些直播是我見了客人或收到讀者來訊提問,靈感泉源湧現時而隨想隨拍的。所以你會看到我影片的背景往往都不一樣。
如果我重拍影片,是,我可能會說得更好,但應該很難模仿當時的那股激情。
一句話:時機對的時後,不要嘰嘰歪歪,往前衝就對了。
——————————
二、不完美也是完美的(有時)
我很執著完美。
當2019年的我看到年輕時的我在直播劈哩啪啦講一堆時,我會想⋯⋯咦,我怎麼那麼說呀⋯⋯天啊,我的臉怎麼那樣啊⋯⋯
那支金蟾的影片把我這大餅臉「完美」地呈現出來,也帶來最高的觀看率。過去一年,它也帶來很多來自新馬澳台和中國的詢問。
在我緊張著要開臉書直播談手淫時,我竟然忘了把夾麥插入手機,收音極差。我那時在星巴克,人來人往,攪拌機也正在「熱舞」。直播到一半,我緊張到忘了自己要說什麼。
我半點都不喜歡那影片,但心想,不管了,就放上去吧!那時是九月,頻道不到兩百訂閱,我心想反正沒什麼人看我影片。
結果,一位男士觀看後,因一片「熱愛」而把我影片放在男性論壇上。
二十四小時內,影片觀看率直破一千大關,也因此讓我的訂閱跨過兩百這門檻。
真的是不可思議,我竟然因為一支手淫危害財運的影片而在兩個男性論壇「爆紅」。兩個!
但我想我父母應該不會為我這「成就」而驕傲。😂
我也收到好些男性酸民因被我影片激怒而發來的留言。幸好,也有更多的男士以親身經歷而理智地支持我的說法。
在報父母恩咒的影片下方,有兩個留言給了我很大的動力:
「嗨,季謙小姐,請上傳更多影片。」
「感恩感激你循循善誘,教導我們如何通過佛法唸經、盡孝道,報答父母養育之恩。」
金玉良言:一切都是最美好的安排。
——————————
三、焦點不在我
觀眾選擇自己想看的內容。有時,「網紅」會因為高互動率按讚率等而自滿。
但對我而言,我上傳越多影片,越覺得這些不是在為我自己做。
除了定期更新,我並沒有什麼油管策略。
有時,我也想不出什麼搶眼的標題。我讓我的剪輯師覺得縮圖要怎麼做。我沒有什麼必勝的格式來呈現我的影片,更沒有什麼相似的頻道供我參考。
我把我的經驗和與客人的交流說出來。
這些影片都是我的迷你版,在網路上授課分享。
如果你覺得受用並訂閱我的頻道,幸運的不是我。
是你,因為你認出這知識能改善你的生活品質。
人生如一場亂流,我們的情緒,遇到的人事物往往會讓我們覺得不由自主,不在自己能控制的範圍內。
當你利用這新知識來駕駛你的人生時,我很確定2020年必定會帶給你和你的家更多的快樂和收穫。
謝謝你們,天才們,發現了我,又選擇與我同行。
你讓我想成為更優秀的自己來更好地幫助們。
我也期待對你而言,我也能同樣地啟發了你們。

🎉 Thank you to the 300 geniuses! 🎉 😁
I hit 300 subscribers on 29 December 2019, around 1030am.
One radical decision I made in June 2019 was to start weekly upload to my Youtube channel.
Radical because I was already running on a very tight time schedule every day.
But I have a bad habit.
Once my mind is set on something, I charge like the Flash, bulldozing all obstacles to make things work.
I am lucky that I found a reliable video editor in Taiwan.
If I do everything myself, my hair will turn full white or I will die young, whichever comes faster.
My channel hit 100 subscribers in March 2019, with 7 videos uploaded sporadically over a span of 2 years.
The weekly upload commenced on the last week of June. From June till now, I have only missed one week of upload due to heavy workload in December.
25 weekly videos later, these are the 3 lessons Youtube have taught me:
1) OLD CAN BE GOLD
It’s true. You can start a Youtube channel with merely an Iphone.
Currently, the videos on my channel are my FB Lives from 2016-2017, filmed with the front camera of Iphone6 and 6S.
I used to do weekly Lives back then and chalked up many videos. The resolution is funky.
I toyed with the idea of remaking all the 60 over videos, you know, with a really nice DSLR camera and in a pretty setting, so that it can look more professional.
But…the thought of my hair turning white…
So I uploaded the videos and gradually over 6 months, the views stacked up and new audience started finding me through Youtube recommendations.
All my Youtube videos has over 100 views.
One video on golden toads hit 7.8K views with 131 Likes:
https://youtu.be/dtcU9GG80wQ
Another video on how masturbation harms wealth luck has 6.8K views with 45 Likes:
https://youtu.be/lPH26j2XQGw
And this video on the mantra to repay parents has 1.8K views with 35 Likes:
https://youtu.be/x-7GPmbq5nw
No one has yet to complain of the wacky resolution. I think the content, my clear audio from a lavalier mic and the editing effects make up for it.
Most of the time, those Lives were done on the fly, after getting all fired up from a client consultation or receiving questions from my readers, so you see all these different backgrounds in my videos.
If I have to remake the videos, yes I may speak better, but I doubt I can mimic the same in-the-moment passion.
✅ When the time is right, stop fretting about the small stuff and just charge ahead.
_____________________________
2) IMPERFECTION IS PERFECT (sometimes)
I am anal about being as perfect as I can.
When the 2019 me watched the younger me blabbing away in the Lives, I will be like, eeee…why did I talk like that, yucks, why did my face look like that…
That golden toad video showcased my big pancake face in its full glory…and it grossed the highest views. It also brought me a ton of inquiries from Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Macau and China over the last one year.
In all my anxiety to talk about masturbation on a FB Livestream for the first time, I freaking broccoli forgot to plug in my lavalier mic. The audio was bad. I was at a Starbucks cafe. People were walking left right up down center. The blenders were on rock and roll. I forgot what I wanted to say halfway.
I didn’t like the video a single bit. But never mind, just upload. My channel had less than 200 subs at that time in September. Who cares to watch my video anyway…
Then some guy watched it and “liked” it so much that he embedded my video to a men’s forum.
Within 24 hours, the views rocketed to over 1000 and that was how I hit the 200 sub count.
Holy asparagus, I became “famous” for a video of me sprouting about Masturbation VS Wealth Luck. In TWO men’s forums.
I somehow doubt my parents will be proud of this "achievement" of mine though. 😂
There were hate comments from men who got very agitated with what I said in the video. #chillbro Thankfully, there were more rational men who supported my viewpoint with their personal experiences.
In the video on a Buddhist mantra, there were two comments that motivated me greatly:
“Hi Ms Ji Qian, please do upload more videos.”
“Thank you for your patient guidance to teach us how to be filial and repay our parents for raising us up, through the Dharma and sutra recitation.”
✅ Everything happens for a good reason. It is up to me to make it serve my interest.
_____________________________
3) IT’S NOT ABOUT ME
People choose the content they want to watch. Sometimes "influencers" get carried away when they see their engagement shoot up.
But for me, the more videos I upload, the more I feel I am not doing it for myself.
Apart from consistent uploads, I do not have any strategy for Youtube.
I sometimes struggle to think of eye-catching titles. I let my video editor decides how he wants to do the thumbnails. I have no winning format to present my videos. There is no other similar Youtube channel for me to refer to.
I just speak what I know from first-hand experience and client interactions.
All these videos are my different mini-me, teaching and sharing online.
If you find it useful and subscribe to my channel, it isn’t me that is lucky.
It is YOU. Because you recognise that this knowledge can improve the quality of your life.
Life is a turbulence of emotions and events and it can often feel that we are not in control.
When you are able to steer your life better with this new knowledge in hand, I'm very sure that 2020 will be happy and rewarding for you and your family.
Thank you, genius, for discovering me and staying with me.
You make me want to be a finer version of myself to help you better.
I hope I have the same impact on you too. ❤️

十月的瑞士充滿各種繽紛的色彩,讓原本就已經很漂亮的湖光山色簡直像是仙境一樣,幾乎每個點都讓我驚嘆到不行,看照片都不相信自己去過這麼美麗的地方,不過瑞士是個物價貴到封頂的國家,所以這次依舊是走小資路線,接下來會跟大家分享這趟的行程、花費、完整的遊記等等,如果對瑞士有興趣的朋友不要錯過啦!!!

BTW第一次剪片覺得困難,雖然是用手機(iPhone 7)拍的,但感覺還是上傳Youtube的畫質比較好,我覺得用1.25x觀看效果更好🧐🧐🧐🧐
