SchnuppiLilac it’s always been a niche and the people who watch it seem happy to keep it that way. It’s difficult enough to get people into VR porn because of the need for an expensive headset and, in many cases, an expensive PC too. Once you are in though, it’s a small number of sites containing pretty much the same type of content across the board. It’s a niche within a niche.
If you’re a fan of IR porn with girls getting fucked by huge dicked black guys (a pretty popular area of porn) there’s nothing in VR to entice you over.
If you’re a fan of anal with top stars (standard in flat porn), there’s very little to entice you over but, if you want DP or gangbangs, that goes to pretty much zero.
How about girl/girl? Next to nothing.
Rough sex/BDSM? Virtually nothing.
Unless you’re interested mainly in all natural flat chested teen looking models doing vanilla GFE porn, often fairly unknown new models too. VR has very little for you and the fans are very determined to keep it a closed shop. They don’t want it branching out into any other areas of porn. They also don’t want to pay for it, they want to pay one small monthly fee and get everything on one site.
I can see why none of the big boys want to get involved. Even doublevr himself has said it’s simply not sustainable for a new standalone paysite to start up. That’s how stagnant it is. Naughty America are the only one of the big studios who really gave it a proper go and they’ve obviously come to realise that it’s not really worth it.
