  • SLR Streaming vs Downloads data

I figured the increase in streams is a result of an increase in standalone Quest 2 users with the natural tendency/simplicity to stream, while the original PC/VR downloaders are still hanging in there. There's hardly any rise because new people are not spending on PC rigs like when the Rift first released.

According to VRCompare, Quest 2 launched in Oct '20. The previous streaming rise may have been the result of prior Quest headsets released mid '19. Afterwards on release, especially during the Christmas holiday, Quest 2 sales/streaming rises dramatically, steady into the new year, and steep again during the same holiday season in '21.

With Cambria not requiring a Facebook account, that will cause another spike in streaming which may include me if I can stream 4-5k with no buffering issues. If the same happens to many others who transition from PC/VR to standalone headsets, downloads could peak and begin a slow decline.

LordCrash more subscribers ;-)
Streaming are also actual views/viewtime.
Most people whom download, download way more than actually watch.

      Looking more and more like the stage is being set to eliminate downloads. That’s going to go over like a lead balloon 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦

        argyle43 stop bringing that bullshit. It's for all those bringing another downloads first bullshit

        No downloads limitations are coming any time soon

            doublevr sorry but you keep taking things away that people want, so it’s very hard to know what to expect when you keep disparaging downloading and attacking people that try to explain why they prefer downloading.

            And I hope download limitations aren’t coming anytime, period.

              Here are my reasons for downloading, in no particular order:

              1. Better video quality. I can definitely see a difference, especially in finer details, like skin texture. And I really like skin texture.
              2. I don't have to wait for videos to buffer etc. When I do stream, to find which ones I want to download, I select 2160p. Otherwise everything simply takes too long. I don't think it's a problem on just my end, because I have a pretty solid 300 Mbps connection which should be more than enough to stream at your highest stream quality. And when I download your videos, I usually reach 300.
              3. I can keep the videos I like forever. Even if I rarely rewatch videos, because there is so much new to watch, I really like knowing I have it forever. Partly, but not only, I guess it's some kind of hoarding issue, though. 😄
              4. I don't have to use DeoVR. DeoVR is pretty good, except that it makes my computer fans spin like crazy. I use HereSphere and find it better in every way.

              @doublevr Saying downloading is shit just because you used to download a lot of movies that you never watched is a bit weird, tbh. I watch every single video I download, anyway.
              The fact that you add streaming features is great (🙄) but please remember that people are different and prefer different things.
              One of the things I like the the most about SLR is that you give us the option to download videos with high bitrates. And that's especially true for your SLRO videos. Please don't make that worse. Give us freedom to choose what we want. And don't forget that the customer is always right. 😀

                doublevr The slr team this new company can't solve the problem that users download videos and even share them, the whole adult industry is troubled by this problem and can not solve it . From my humble opinion, slr should be nice and honest to your vip and those potential users to win a good reputation. With the development , there will be a continuous customer growth in vr, they will be confused which is best to choose they will ask people where to go, and your advocates will tell them come here, even if 1 percent of them register as vip , you succeed. btw you still should be nice to those 99% left ,they won't give you money , they will give you a good reputation in all social forums... as for vidoes productions there are always methods to get them freely or sell them second hand , you seem lose at this point but when you are know to all by this free way the rich people and those who don't know how to download videos will come for you.

                  doublevr l see many adult 2d video companys have many limits on their sites like you cannot preview their videos and pictures when you click it the PayPal option pops out they spare no efforts to get money but they are losing money . As a big company, be generous and take a long view for the future.

                    gurphh I don't have to use DeoVR. DeoVR is pretty good, except that it makes my computer fans spin like crazy. I use HereSphere and find it better in every way.

                    I can only second this. Heresphere is my preferred player, best player and best developer right now.

                    But imho it's good that both streaming and downloads exist. To each their own. 😉

                      Rakly3 Did you see any increase of download about scene of SLR Original that are no more watchable for Oculus Go or any device that can't be upgrate anymore with the last version of deovr ?

                          argyle43 I made this exact point for this graph over at Reddit and he called me names (as usual). I am a PhD level statistician. It is easy to see that he is creating the graph to support the conclusion he wants. Cherry picking data doesn't work on data scientists 😆
