VALENCIA, Calif. — System JO is celebrating 25 episodes of “All Lubed Up and Nowhere to Go” (ALU), a live webcast hosted by Tori and Ryan McCrobie that highlights pleasure product news and events as well as product demos and retailer training.

A rep described “ALU” as “a full-fledged talk show complete with production staff, guest features and a huge social media component that allows for broad interactivity.”

The broadcast streams live to the industry’s private Facebook groups — SPAM (Sex Professionals and Manufacturers) and Pleasure Professionals Place — as well as its own Facebook page.

“Our only goal with the show was to give something back to the retailers,” Ryan McCrobie explained. “2020 beat on all of us pretty hard, so we wanted to do something that highlighted topics that meant something to everyone who’s just trying to make it work.”

Having banked 25 episodes, “ALU” and its production staff are now taking what they’ve learned and “cranking things up a notch,” said the rep. “Having gained hundreds of industry followers since its inception, as well as dozens of guests representing brands and retailers alike, the opportunity to build connections is stronger than ever.”

Tori McCrobie said the show has added “new topics and new segments — and prizes — every week.”

“We’ll start a conversation with a guest and it can lead to a whole range of new ideas on how we can highlight the amazing people in this industry,” she added.

“ALU” streams live every Thursday at 6 p.m. (PDT) on Facebook with replays available at AllLubedUpShow.com and on XBIZ.tv.

LOS ANGELES — Premium social media fan site Loyalfans.com is touting its “collaborative integration” with content and privacy protector BranditScan.

“Piracy is a significant problem that impacts all creators in a negative manner. In an effort to empower creators to mitigate the exploitation of their labor and brands, Loyalfans has taken steps to make sure members of their creator community are aware of every available tool — thus, the integration with BranditScan,” a rep explained.

The integration includes daily automated scans, found under “Brand Protection” in an admin dropdown menu, that show creators “exactly where their content and likenesses are being illegally used,” said the rep. “A popup window will then connect interested creators directly to a BranditScan representative. Creators may then decide to opt for BranditScan’s services for a monthly fee.”

Loyalfans Co-Founder Eduard A. Braileanu noted, “The internet is a wild place, and protecting one’s work from thieves often seems like an impossible task.”

“We are deeply honored to support our creators’ labor and passion via the Loyalfans platform,” he continued. “We wanted to do everything we could to make sure our creators are aware of tools at their disposal to help protect their brands, likenesses and work overall. We hope that creators will see that the price they pay for BranditScan’s service — if they choose to utilize it — is well worth it.”

BranditScan’s CEO Gino Sciretta shared how happy he is to be working with Loyalfans and their creators. 

“Loyalfans was such a natural fit to partner with,” Sciretta said. “They bring their platform to the next level with innovative tools for their creators. Like us, they are very passionate about empowering content creators, and integrating BranditScan made sure that their creators had all the tools they needed to protect their brand and be aware of piracy risks.”
