You have 0 downloads remaining in this time period (144 hours) :/

150 videos per month is enough for me, even though it's the biggest download limit of all sites i have been subscribed, but it's a worrying trend, because this is not a first time SLR have reduced it, what's stopping them to do it again in few months or a year.

RockyMtHigh As explained above, it's not about the total amount, it's about the convenience to download videos whenever you want and not following a predefined schedule. When I'm on vacation, I don't want to be limited to 30 videos per week (6 days).

In terms of quantities, it's the tendency that's problematic - the number of allowed downloads is gradually decreasing. This is not the first reduction and you can also see that the business interest is clearly going in the direction of mainstream streaming customers.

RockyMtHigh I download everything from my favorite studios, because the connection to the servers is not always reliable for the the highest quality at my location.

In general I watch every video I've downloaded, but skip a lot of them after a few minutes, because I don't like them. Problem is, that you don't know that from trailers or thumbnails - some of my all time favorite scenes have models I would consider as average or even below average and would have skipped them by just looking at the thumbnail or trailer.

Direction, acting and technical aspects are too important to judge the quality of a scene without watching it. Common problem is that girls look for direction behind the camera or need so much direction that you have cuts every minute - this results in a bad video, even if the girl has a hot body. They also use a lot of Photoshop for the thumbnails, so often girls look very different in the real scene. In other cases scaling is wrong - not just the size of the girl (that aspect got better in recent years) but of the entire room.

The change from 10 downloads a day to 5 downloads a day was inevitable and necessary. What was not inevitable and necessary and why SLR requires a better business manager:

• Making the changes without warning
• Not rolling them out with the monthly re-subscription period
• Doing so without an apology or explanation as if folks wouldn't notice
• Changing from a 72 to a 144 hour download window at the same time

They will give you a refund if you include a screenshot of the advertisement and point to the policy change. The refund will be for the remaining days, figured mathematically. You may have to complain multiple times.

Same thing happened to me with BackroomCastingCouch - ExploitedCollegeGirls. They changed their policy by not allowing downloads at all and killing (temporarily) the three sites of their network. I later discovered that they did so because, notoriously, for a period of ten years they accidentally were including the full real names of their models in the EXIF / metadata of the videos; the guys at PornWikiLeaks posted the stuff all over the darkweb! Anyway, much as the immediate change to streaming was necessary and justifiable they still broke the contract and all users were eligible for refunds; they lost a large, very large number of regular subscribers. I had just opted to try it for a month because I thought Amber Moore was hot.

LondonGodFather inevitable and necessary

Of course "inevitable and necessary"...

SLR is based in America and last I checked -- I'm not American -- the American political machine has gone full meltdown...

There is inflation at record highs, gas costs are through the roof, the current gov't lost 85 billion in weapons in the last year alone in Afghanistan, and has already spent 65 billion stoking war against Russia and rejecting a viable peace deal ... the President is LITERALLY talking with dead people and making such gaffs as telling the world he has cancer ... For the poor Americans, the POOR Americans are going to get a lot poorer, and probably more violent (did I mention record crime stats?).

SLR had no choice but to do this in order to stay in business. It was predictable as of a month ago.

They just should have acknowledged the necessity, apologized, and kept the changes minimal (no additional changes to the download period, etc).

EDIT: I'll add a prediction. After November SLR will need to make more changes, although they don't realize this yet. For the past six months gas costs have been kept artificially low for their mid-terms. The Pres has been lowering costs by draining the National Reserve. When that Reserve runs dry, or when it's not politically expedient to keep drawing from it, prices will really sky rocket. Inflation may hit 20 to 30%. Stuff in America is delivered by trucks. When truckers have to pay $1,500 for diesel prices will universally increase.

[deleted] such a weird reply lol. This is a porn site. But for the record I just paid 3.29 a gallon for gas in a major city where prices were crazy before.

RockyMtHigh

Unless you're pirating porn, porn creation is subject to factors of the market economy.

Why is gas cheaper today than three months ago? It's not because Americans found new sources of gas, it's because for the first time in history an American government started releasing has from the strategic reserves intended for emergencies, like wars and floods. Biden released some of the gas to the American people, to reduce the overall market price of gas (less spending for you at the pumps, temporarily) and sold some of it off to China for more spending money (yet to a company linked to his son).

As I say, I am not an American, but these decisions are not smart; they are crazy. All businesses will be hurt, even the business of porn. Simple ECON 101 market analysis...
