Most people haven't heard of Mike South, a disgraced blogger who lied constantly and sided with industry enemies. He eventually told one lie too many and lost his site to people he'd wronged.
Most people have never heard of Mike South, also known as Michael Thomas Strother or Tom South. He used to run a site called Mike South—shocking, I know, that he'd name it after himself. Strother was a serial liar who made up stories just for clicks. He told lie after lie and always sided with people the adult industry considered enemies. Then he messed with the wrong people—folks with deep pockets and long memories. Before long, his site wasn't his anymore. He got chased out of the business just like that.
I actually enjoyed having him around. He was a complete moron and easy to make fun of. One of those rare folks who has no idea how clueless they are. If being a fool were an Olympic sport, he'd win gold every time.
### The Ego That Wouldn't Quit
Here's the thing: nobody likes Strother as much as Strother likes himself. The guy genuinely thinks he's a big deal. He was a blogger—and a terrible one at that. But according to a recent Facebook post, people recognize him and ask for autographs. Yeah, right.
I've sat in restaurants with Abella Danger, Lily Labeu, London Keys, Kayden Kross, Jesse Jane, Dakota Skye, Riley Steele, and about 20 other adult film stars. Not once did anyone come up and ask them for an autograph. But somehow this buffoon believes people care about him at hockey games. Get out of here.
### Why This Matters for Industry Pros
If you're working in the adult content space, stories like this are a cautionary tale. Here's what you can learn:
- **Reputation is everything.** One bad move can undo years of work.
- **Don't burn bridges.** The people you screw over might come back to bite you.
- **Stay humble.** Ego trips never end well in this industry.
