After eight years of offering every form of aggregated hentai, a pornograhic subgenre of Japanese anime—Fakku.net is planning to make people pay.
Fakku CEO Jacob Grady, says the site is in the process of removing all unlicensed in preparation of its premium launch at the end of 2015. “I’ve always believed that creating a product worth spending money on would be enough to get people to support it,” said Grady, who launched Fakku from Worcester State University dorm when he was 19.
Now, Fakku is eschewing the free model that’s set it among the top 50 “adult” websites on the Internet, with more than 250 million visitors and 12 billion pageviews in 2014, in favor of partnerships with esteemed hentai artists for premium English-language content.
Grady believes that despite the Internet’s embarrassment of pornographic riches, Fakku.net’s fans will chip in $10 or so a month for subscriptions. The site is already testing the waters by offering porn book pre-orders in paperback and digital formats.
“A large portion of our users are already choosing to support our books,” said Grady in a Skype interview.
