I actually haven't used the search on BVR for ages but that's still not a fraud. They released this BabeVR scene as a BONUS scene on BVR in the past but it also still exists in its original form on BabeVR and when you search on the whole network you find both entries for the same scene. Not very convenient but not intended as a fraud. It's actually pretty wild blame them for adding content from their other sites to the BVR catalogue for free (the right one is clearly marked as bonus scene by the way...). And it's not even advertizing anyway, it's just the result of your search. Again, there is no such advertizing (aka placing content in places for you to see them without looking for them in the first place) on the main page for any such scene right now.

I'm a member but will stop my membership in a month. I think they suck. Maybe if they got better models for their videos the models would make up for the reality that the direction is poor, the scenarios are mostly repetitious (and dull), and the membership price -- even at only $10.00 a month -- just isn't worth it. Unlike others on this thread, I'm not being paid by them or have an infinite budget to blow on mediocre porn... SLR and quite a few other sites generate a higher number of watchable videos... BadoinkVR is a rip off with dozens of embedded advertisements and tricks like @LordCrash has just shown -- making the default search option query all the videos across their half-dozen sites to try to trick Premium members into buying more (one of a half dozen approaches). Poor porn, disreputable salesmanship... Exactly why CC companies block porn sites.... Just because they aren't as bad as some other sketchy sites doesn't mean they are much good... And they aren't good.

@LordCrash here may have a tonne of money for porn, but he's still wrong about their deceptive salesmanship and telling lies to try to make his point, as the image above shows.

Well, I show you how they cheat people and you cover your eyes and put your fingers in your ears. All you have to offer is excuses. I'm guessing you are on their payroll, whether you will admit that or not.

I'm a member. I paid them. It's not worth it for my tastes...

SLR offers artist porn. BadoinkVR offers low-class sleaze.

That's my review of it in a nutshell, setting aside their unscrupulous approaches to trick users into double purchases through a rigged default search engine and deceptive thumbnails for the same videos on different sites of their network.

[deleted] their porn isnt that bad...

in my experience every porn site uses unsavoury tricks... often multiple. slr is no exception either. and you know what? so do many non porn companies. there is literally a whole industry built around it. ads and marketing. you know why? people are dumb... or naive... and the tricks work. dont hate the player... hate the game

SLR was very reputable, until they announced that reduction of downloads by 1/2. But at least that violation of trust and their contractual agreement was so drastic that anyone who so chose could seek a refund (and likely receive it).

Part of my beef with Badoink is that Badoink and BabeVR are really the same site -- they have virtually the same models for solo stuff as for hardcore. I realized too late just how tasteless the hardcore stuff was, excepting a few videos. The site just isn't anywhere near as good as SLR, but that's probably to be expected given the price ...

I get pissed off by such superficial and dishonest tactics. If that's the game they play, it's completely understandable for folks to play their own games, through piracy. Because that's part of the game too.

So @[deleted] i have been following this thread and your complaint about Badoink being underhanded in their practices, and I really think you are giving them too much credit.

My guess is that there are probably two things going on.

1. As @LordCrash pointed out the search term is set to “all studios” which you think is an underhanded sales tactic, but realistically I’m willing to bet a dev set that drop-down to display in “alpha numeric” sort and moved on. (A comes before B)
2. Search can be hard and the results you are seeing may in fact be a bug. It might be showing all results matching a term rather than finding results then filtering them based on the user’s account status.

Either way everything we discuss here is purely speculation and if you have a problem with it reach out to their support and tell them you have bug/feature requests to report. Then tell them what you are experiencing as a user and explain that it makes you feel like they are being underhanded in their business practices. They may actually thank you.

No, it's not. By pirating their stuff you simply steal their content. Period.
If you don't like the way they sell their product don't buy it. But then also don't consume it. It's a luxury product that you don't need for survival. There is simply ZERO legit justification for piracy.
Oh, the hypocrisy...

[deleted] That said, I have already paid for their / your stuff

Thanks for your contribution. I have an expensive lifestyle running, you know...

[deleted] You are not worth my time. Your product is bad. I have shown how you cheat.
