playboy goes off the deep end

[GoingMYway81Participant 82]

I don’t know if you guys are aware of it or not but playboy has gone off the deep end. No longer will their magazines feature fully nude females rather, like a maxim magazine feature younger females that are fully clothed. It’s a sad day for Playboy…not that I care much…plenty of free porn available online at my disposal.

It was only a matter of time before porn on the internet killed Playboy. Anonymous viewing as opposed to having to go to an actual video rental store and walk up to the counter with the porn in hand has removed any potential embarrassment. The 80’s and 90’s were the best decades for Playboy.

The Children of Doom... Doom's Children. They told my lord the way to the Mountain of Power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the Earth... Ha! Time enough for the Earth in the grave.

Oh I wholeheartedly agree…the last issue I officially bought in its paper form was the last time Heather Locklear appeared on the cover. After that…video became mainstream and it’s been video ever since.

I imagine they will still keep their websites going. Did they make any mention of that?

Looks like some trees are gonna be saved.

Classic back issues should always be available from private collectors. The models and actresses from the early seventies through early eighties including female musicians .. seemed outwardly attractive in a unique sort of way. The only explanation I can come up with is the laid-back hippie culture of later sixties that seemed to spread and influence most everything.

This is just a stupid move, playboy always presented the high quality kind of stuff.

If the printed media isnt making a profit, just start to sell online versions.

There was also a good quality site of nude pictures, metart that tried to change from pictures to movies and it ended up swamped on the internet.

Seriously, there will ALLWAYS be a niche for high quality porn and erotica.

And besides, printed media is the past, the internet has been around for 20 years, just adapt to it.

Meh.

Don’t care.

There’s YP, that’s what matters.

"We are free to follow our own path. There are those who will take that freedom from us, and too many of you gladly give it. But it is our ability to choose – whatever you think is true – that makes us human. There is no book or teacher to give you the answers, to show you the path. Choose your own way! Do not follow me, or anyone else."

Playboy is boring anyway. I watch mostly hentai.

[anonymousyamParticipant 4605]

I say give them a year before they either revert back to their old ways or stop publishing the magazine.

Just an east coast asshole who likes to curse, If you get offended by words like fuck, cunt, shit, piss, bitch or any racial slurs then you just scroll down.

I heard about this a few months ago. Their porn/erotica was boring, might as well have been Maxim. The articles were always lack luster as well. If I remember correctly, Heff sold his shares of the company as well. He’s close to the end.

Am I the only one whose first reaction when seeing this thread was: “Playboy is still a thing?”

I thought Playboy went under years ago. It’s just a matter of time…

[RennieParticipant]

This will probably result in their demise. That’s what happens when you listen to t~~~’s.

Maxim hired a feminist editor and she broke the magizine. She tried to change it and it seems men didn’t like the changes

Love is just alimony waiting to happen. Visit mgtow.com.

[GoingMYway81Participant 82]

Yeah Maxim lost me years ago when the format changed from the original. They fired people and the magazine lost a lot of its substance as far as content. Seems like anything good or that was good at one time is taken over by a feminist or feminist’s views and goes downhill. Sad really..

I looked up maxim and there is a article on the main page saying 7 things you need to know before you go down on her. Good god why this website is just filled with articles written by women? The majority of the articles are written by 2 women ellen, and kelly.

Playboy is slowly circling the drain. They’ll either reinvent/re-brand themselves or go under. They’ve tried, not very successfully, to do so in the past.

Hef, and later the Playboy board, have dabbled in TV shows, a cable network, TV/movie production, nightclubs, casinos, luxury air travel, vacation packages, a record label, and several other business lines. Apart from the Playboy nightclubs, none really lasted and even the clubs failed to provide a steady revenue stream. Money is so tight that the LA Playboy mansion was recently put up for sale – with the proviso that Hef gets to live in it until he dies.

It was magazine sales and subscriptions which saved them from their business failures in the past, but the magazine in the US market has been faltering for years. About the only success Playboy has had in “expanding” their brand is with foreign versions.

I believe there are over a dozen different foreign versions now in nations ranging from Russia to the Philippines to Mexico to a number of European nations. While many of those versions feature nudity, some are more like Maxim and similar “lad rags”. It’s interesting that the US version is being retooled to be more like some of Playboy’s tamer foreign versions.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.
