BML5768 It really irritates me when I make an analogy and people dispute it literally.
Regardless, those 3 JAV videos and 4 Passthrough videos have taken up slots from the SLR Originals release schedule that I signed up for. I'm sure that they have their fans, but especially in the case of JAV - there are other sites for that. I didn't subscribe to those other sites because I don't want that content. If you want that content, you are also free to subscribe to those sites. I subscibed to THIS SITE on the basis of the promised release schedule of the content, production quality, and style at the time I subscribed. You are also free to do that on sites that provide content you enjoy. Do you see me on the JAV site forums arguing that they really need more American teens, MILFs, and non-POV stuff? Of course not - that isnt what they do, and it isn't what they sold their customers. Similarly, If I subscibe to the Wall Street Journal, I'd be pretty annoyed if they started sending me comics, graphic novels, and poetry - and then had their new producer tell me that the problem is that I just haven't seen those mediums done right.
I think there is a HUGE disconnect between the customers who subscribed to SLR for the Netfix-style variety and low-quality studios with niche appeal, and the customers who subscribed to SLR for the high-quality, high-production value, GFE, intimate POV Nash-style SLRO studio they were producing a year or two ago. The argument isn't that SLR shouldn't do the other stuff you want, but that they are neglecting and replacing the stuff that the SLRO subscribers want at the same time. Its not an addition to their lineup, its coming at the expense of the thing I subscribed to. As in the example of Netflix, lots of people subbed to Netflix in the early days because they got high quality releases and series. I have a lot of streaming services now, and I can't even remeber the last time I watched Netflix. Why? They watered down their brand with dreck, and let the good quality content go. If they kept good quality stuff, but added dreck, I'd still be watching and just avoiding the dreck. But when the other stuff REPLACES what you signed up for? Then we quit.
To be fair, the change is subtle, and the numbers you quote are correct. But the point has been made ad infinitum about the declining quality of SLRO - warehouses, bad rigs, snarky responses to feedback, new directors trying out their "vision", etc etc etc. People who subbed for quality SLRO are about out of patience.
