Any thoughts why these scenes didn't go well?

Agree. Kind of want to know what the metric is, but I can tell you why I did or did not watch certain scenes.
For many of the SLRO scenes, I only watch it once there is a script for it. I dont know how many people are in the same boat as me or whether I am the only one that strictly waits for the scripts.

1. For the dirty laundry 3 - I was waiting for the script. Im actually excited for this but none of the Queenie scene got scripted yet.

2. After hours at the alley - Waiting for the script as well. wanted to watch this as well.

3. The harem - TBH, the color / lighting either during filming or post production processing is kind of off. Everything was too orange and just visually was not appealing. The preview picture vs what was actually shown is night and day apart. Its a shame cuz I was really looking forward to it especially scarlett and amber, but was kind of let down.

4. Goth GF - Sorry, Just isnt my cup of tea. Would be interesting with a different cast. I liked the kitty cam cast one, but unfortunately it was filmed with the not so good camera back then. not sure if that slro is within the same genre.

5. Cooking - I was actually waiting for the script. I really enjoyed her MILFVR scene.

Hope that was slightly helpful.

I dont remember where I saw this, but the preview image really matters a lot to me. If it looks good (can be subjective) + script, I'll most likely watch it. But some of those preview images are really not representative of the actual scene + it looks to be a screenshot most of the time. Hope at least some effort gets put in to liven up these preview images. I look forward to them in general.

I am unsure of the metrics used of course (I assume you must have internal data analytics that you can't share with us), but I think comparing this harem to the Dream Team harem, there are a few reasons I can think of...

• The scene should have been one video, not two. Splitting into two parts splits the likes, splits the comment section, adds negativity in the comments with missing positions (as clearly seen in the comments on the video page), creates a disjointed VR experience, and overall just devalues the scene as a whole. I'd urge you not to split the next harems.
• The majority of the cast fit the vibe of the setting and costumes, but the cast was not at the same level as Dream Team, in terms of VR popularity. Dream Team had the likes of Blake Blossom, Laney Grey, Charly Summer, Aubree Valentine, etc. There weren't many heavy hitters in the Innocent Harem scene. Definitely some standouts like Mina Lux and Lana Smalls, but both of them are still pretty unknown in comparison. So I think for future harems, the cast needs to be stronger, with more popular VR household names (Kiara Cole, Kylie Rocket, Lily Larimar, Anna Claire Clouds, etc)
• The harem scene was released a week after the Yoga harem. I love having more and more harem scenes, but prior to both this one, and the Yoga harem, there was no harem scene in almost a year's time. It would be better to release a harem more regularly like once a month, as opposed to two in back-to-back weeks.
• The seated cowgirl camera position could be improved. It was a bit awkwardly set for this scene (too close). And since there was no laying down section, cowgirl fans are left a bit unsatisfied.

For the record though, I thought this harem scene was really well done (aside from the seated section). The direction from Nash with all the swarming and body worship, asmr, nipple play, kissing (omg the kissing section was incredible), pheromone play, etc... it was masterful. Maybe the numbers don't show it, but it is a very well done harem.

I personally enjoyed this scene as well. I would say the big-ass models like Holly Day may not be quite as popular in the overall VR community as compared to the previous Dirty Laundry casts (Hazel Moore, Melody Marks, Freya Parker, etc you get the type), but I think Holly is fucking hot as hell! I certainly think we need more of them, but maybe in a different scenario. Dirty Laundry tends to be a bit more of a GFE type experience, at least based on previous iterations. But other than that, I thought the scene was killer, and I've pulled up the scene several times since. It is not a lost and forgotten scene in my eyes.

doublevr just a number of likes. Good scenes get around 2K over the first months

I think this doesn't always tell the story. The recent Emma Bugg scene, has 4k likes in 2 weeks, which of course is incredible... but from a personal level, I found the scene to be very lackluster, and filmed pretty poorly. I feel like the main reason why that scene skyrocketed in likes is purely because Emma Bugg is a very sought out new-talent right now. Because from a production/execution standpoint, that scene doesn't have a lot going for it at all.

Like it or not, clickbait is extremely effective - bad thumbnail made me skip many great scenes before

doublevr Your passthrough fans are apparently digging it. I couldn't care less. That's how things always will be.

Can't say much on the others, other than the casting wasn't my type, but on the harem scene (also applies to others) I did enjoy but sometimes the story is part of the immersion and I just rarely have a full hour + let alone 2 hours through both clips to commit so I usually steer towards the 30 minute 45 minute max scenes, otherwise I just end up skipping through out of impatience lol

First off, I'm waiting on the scripts for all of these.
For me it all comes down to the scenario of the story you are trying to sell.

My dirty Laundry, I did watch it. I like the girls a lot. The set up is a lot shorter than the other one. (I couldn't even watch the 8K one). It's too quick to banging me with an unreal reason. Still good but if it had a better beginning than it would be a gem.

After Hours at the Alley, (Tried to watch it). Again the set up was weird. I know you guys liked that you had a bowling alley to shoot in. But I don't think you would have sex on a ball return IRL. You could have played around with the story so much more in the bowling alley. It was basically "hey we are alone so lets have sex right here where we are standing".
She could have shot the ball ten times and slowly taken off clothes after each throw or something.

Innocent Harem: Tease and Please, I love the look of it but who I'm I? Why am I here? How did I get 10 girls all wanting to have sex with me? Have one of the girl explain that I am a sheik and these are my harem of women. The girls kept saying "you got to try this" so that fantasy went out the window.
Unlike some others, I did like the cast.

WTB: Goth GF, I started it but I don't think she said more than 5 words. She is cute but there was zero story so i'm out.

Cooking is not a forte for a Sex Goddess, I skimmed it (still waiting on a script but it would not be on the top of my wish list). Better looking set up. I do like that it is an older woman other than the usual 20-year-old but I don't like big fake tits.

Natch Are you sure that Skyla Sun has fake tits?

doublevr I personally really like Skyla and Kitana and was happy you booked them. I thought the Harem was solid as well. I’m not interested in the models for the first one.

doublevr i agree with blaze466. I Like Skyla and Kitana. I'm a huge fan of big fake tits and wish more originals had girls with them. Just wish these scenes where scripted, especially Kitana's.
