Is there a reason why AW are moving over to the new format 🤷♂️
Any thoughts?
Because it pushes people into logging into the system, so they retain more control (e.g. phone numbers only visible logged in)
Because it increases the visibility of the video sales / camming functions, which means more sales
Because it fucks us up: no visible profile numbers means indexing to this site is going to become bloody hard if not impossible, and if they switch everything to //m.adultwork.com and delete //www.adultwork.com then all the existing indexes will become orphaned
Because it also fucks up the plugins/extensions we use: neither Kuck's AWCiviliser or the AWImprovements Tampermonkey script are going to work on the new site without a major rewrite.
So they make more money, keep more control, stop us linking to the site and modifying or hotlinking to their data. And of course they do it just because they can, to piss us off
But ultimately they think it'll up their bottom line
