New element of fun! Looking forward to uploading more soon, and even more looking forward to making them 
Those that don’t like it, don’t look. For now, you can’t PM videos so you have to go looking and then click to watch. Easily avoided for those who don’t like it. |

I’ve always said that videos would be a great idea, obviously turns the site into a wankfest but Fab have seen they can make money from people wanking by making sure you’re a site supporter before you can watch them, great business sense. |

It’s not about watching them. It’s about lots of other reasons. I don’t need to watch them to know they’re there. They pop up on updates for one thing.
People asking for them as proof if something?
Porn is available elsewhere in my opinion. I think it makes the site a porn site.
Safeguarding of videos? Where will they end up? Valid points to consider I think. |

It's not just videos site supporters benefit from, it's things like viewing message threads, docking cams and posting more pics. I don't understand the issue about paying £5 for up to 50 days membership. Some other sites won't even allow you to message unless you pay. Every site is a business. They wouldn't survive if you got everything for free without constant ad sponsorship spamming the sites, or would you prefer that option? |

Surely all those issues are also there for pictures? If you’re worried about them being stolen and uploaded elsewhere, don’t upload one  same chance of someone stealing photos. Stealing photos is actually easier.
Yes they pop up on updates, but only as a still, you have to click on it to watch it, so is no different than a picture.
People ask for all sorts of proof on here, Skype, WhatsApp, phone call etc. You do have the option to say no... |

I'm already being pestered to upload them. Video comes with additional risks.
While I can, do, and plan to simply ignore, my block list is growing from those who feel the need to pester me. It's making my experience of Fab less pleasant. |

Yes those issues are relevant to photos. I’ve had my photos stolen so I am well aware unfortunately. I don’t intend to upload one but as I am part of the trial like many others I am giving my opinion. That’s the point of it all surely?
Yes they pop up on updates and I’m already fed up of seeing them there. Given the initial image I don’t need to click on it and watch it because I can see already what is going on without watching. This is not about watching it as I said earlier, we all have the option to ignore.
I will be saying no to videos as proof just as I do anywhere else. I won’t ever provide anything by video. I think it’s a bit foolish to do it.
I am giving my opinion. I feel it doesn’t add anything of worth to this site. I feel it makes it a bit seedy. The point of a trial is to see how it goes so I will voice my opinion at this stage.

Yes, I'm also part of the trial.
It's a trial, so they want to hear opinions. Not just OMG it's amazing shut up anyone else.
It increases risks of data being stolen, harder to control what's in moving images.
It increases risks of unaware people inadvertently being in the video, and makes it harder to moderate.
It increases material for wanking and doesn't do much to add for meeting that couldn't already be done, including on Fab cam.
It increases demands being put on women by a population of site members who can already be unpleasant, abusive, and demanding (I'd love to know what percentage of new female site users leave within a week, I bet it's high).
It could easily be a gateway to pay per view/ porn.
Etc.
Yes, I can and will ignore it. But the problems run deeper.
I use this site to meet swingers. I think videos significantly detract from this. |

You’ve gone off on a tangent there, who’s talking about ad sponsorship? Did you read my post at all? some people will pay their £5 just to have access to homemade vids. I’ll wager that any influx of site supporters won’t be using any other member benefits. If the site owners weren’t looking at the £ signs they wouldn’t have put the videos in site supporters only. |

I’ve yet to understand how they will monitor these twenty second videos. Who will sit and watch them all? Photos already get through that shouldn’t. |

Quite. The moderation burden goes up significantly, and they already have moderation lapses that are pretty significant.
Also means a greater risk of legal liability for the site if something criminal gets through. |
