These type of videos do come off as both sad and nostalgic. Nowadays, dudes know that whatever is going it be sold is going be be seen by a variety of people and will last on the internet forever. Back then, the internet and online porn weren’t as prominent, and a lot of dudes were very naive. While it’s clear that Vinnie took advantage of some druggie, dirt broke, feeble-minded guys. Still, the porn industry in general is predatory.
The only videos I really return to of Vinnie’s are his vids with Tony. You can tell that Tony was a bit sad and maybe had some addictions issues as well. But he was also cute and clearly into their interactions. It also seems like he was dealing with his queer dimensions and wherever he was in the gender, sexual, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum. There are vids where it appears that he’s looking for some affections from Vinnie and also looking for some “daddy” domination from him. But Vinnie was caught up in pushing the detached straight guy worship angle.
