dojimmy The reason only 5-7 minutes is watched is people watch what they like, you need the hour videos to get a wide enough variety so enough people can get 7-8 minutes they want to see.
Good point. 
7 min watchtime of 1h long videos - Something must be wrong about it
Rakly3 ie, only play cowgirl segments.
, cowgirl and reverse cowgirl

dojimmy Exactly, the few minutes that I watch, are not the same that some other ppl.
There is position, camera setting, action, that I like and other ppl don't.
Sometime I stay on the same video a long time and it's enough, sometime I have to switch few of them before finding what i want to see. But that don't mean the video I switch on won't be far enough for other ppl.
If you reduce video lenght, you can make the same post saying ppl only watch 1 minutes of a 15 minutes video.

@doublevr and @Rakly3 I appreciate what you are trying to do with these threads and the community as a whole. I know you tend to catch a lot of flack on these experimental “what if we did this” threads, but it seems like a great way to engage the community and get customer feedback albeit, mixed in with some misunderstanding and clarification. in what seems like what would be an otherwise challenging industry to engage with your userbase.
Isn’t SLR using zendesk? Have you ever thought of enabling their feature request and voting functionality too?
Keep fighting the good fight!
I'm reading between the lines here and guessing we can say goodbye to any longer immersive intro. Imo that's what makes a great VR video. SLR had some of the best like a year ago. Now that SLR is trying to make 15 different things at once and running out of money because people watch for too long. I'm sure doublevr told the SLR producers to stop with the longer intros cause too many people might watch the whole start and that would be too costly.

doublevr Well, if everybody misinterprets your posts it's probably because you don't explain your plans very well or in the sufficient level of detail. Maybe it would be better to write a bit more in depth about what you want to do and how you want to improve the site instead of just kicking two or three controversial buzzwords into the void...
Are you REALLY that surprised about the reaction to your posts lately? I can't imagine that, to be honest... even you should know that a lot of the "older" generations (the ones who often have the money for VR...) are not the biggest fans of TikTok etc. You should take your target audience into account when making announcements and comparisons and stuff...

doublevr Whoever thought giving you access to the discussion section was a good idea needs to be fired. I know this is porn, but some level of professionalism should still be expected.

RockyMtHigh LOL, he's the boss...
LordCrash if you are being serious that’s crazy, lol. Dude doesn’t know his strengths and weaknesses I guess.
RockyMtHigh I don't think he's a bad person. Things like the discounted subscription for people in need or blocking Russian cam studios, even if this decision harms his own business, are big pluses for me - so I don't see his sometimes off-putting posts and discussions too critical.
RockyMtHigh just fuck off. I'm really sick of your stupid crap

doublevr sorry I’m offending you with accurate statements. you’re so weird

someoneX I personally just get turned off by business owners who are unnecessarily rude to customers. Just my opinion.

This thread shows great insights. First, that people only watch their favourite sections and skip through 90% of the video. Second, that people have different preferences, so long videos are still necessary to cater to everybody’s tastes.
In my opinion, the solution is obvious - offer us personalised experiences with your app. Continue to record longer videos to cater for everybody’s diverse preferences, but allow each user to specify which segments we like. Then make it as easy as possible for us to watch only those segments.
E.g. I only care about cowgirl & missionary. Instead of starting each video from the beginning, I’d love for the SLR app to recognise my preferences, then automatically play each video from one of those positions. Often, I might want to switch between missionary/cowgirl before the first segment finishes. Let us switch back and forth between our preferred positions with a hotkey/physical button. That would make switching as easy as using a TV remote.
Business wise, this is an incredible unique selling point for the app - an unmatched user experience that automatically skips all the boring bits for you.

Rakly3 My god you guys, please stop pretending you know shit.
This comment is exactly the reason that I will not renew my sub when it expires. Your idiot boss makes a barely intelligible comment about beating Tiktok (which does not have long videos segmented into custom points, but instead is famously and specifically SHORT VIDEOS), and when people react as expected, you jump in to insult them. Maybe work on reigning in your boss's nonsense in so he isn't trolling the customer forums like he used to troll Reddit, so you don't have to spend your day clarifying his ranting and taking out your frustration with it on us?

rerun119 Exactly. As I said yesterday - this happens every time a company tries to dominate a market. They bleed money trying to become the sole player, and as soon as they do, they cut quality to the bone and give cutomers the minimum. Sometimes an artisan will try to re-intoduce a quality product, but quality products cost money and by then people have gotten used to the cheap plastic shit the market leader is producing and they cant get enough traction. Capitalism at it's finest - appeal to the lowest common denominator, and fuck anyone who wants a quality product because its all about the almighty PROFIT.
Welcome to the Walmart of porn.
EDIT: I can imagine the boss thinking "FUCK YEAH - Walmart makes a buttload of money!" while completely missing that people HATE Walmart.
