Any thoughts why these scenes didn't go well?
[deleted]
Now here's a scene where SLR could have done better. This model is a top 10. She is incredibly attractive, innocent looking, and perfect for VR.
This scene has few "likes" because of the lousy scenario and complete failure to devise a watchable scene.
Please bring her back and do something better. She deserves a second chance!
How about a true breeding concept since she seems to be down for creampies.
This is what you need to do to replace the BTS videos.

g2kbuffetboy This just shows that casting is by far the most important thing for the popularity of a scene, not positions, scenario or anything else

MikeAdrianoPov not positions, scenario or anything else
I strongly disagree. Every good scene requires close-ups and some lead-up to the virtual sex. Otherwise the scene has no entertainment value. If you don't want entertainment value and are just looking for hot models doing the same repetitive actions, might I suggest that you subscribe to BadoinkVR or to SLR's main competitor, POVR. Folks pay extra to SLR because they produce high quality films and allow for downloads of the studio files.

You have a bug where content isn’t being shown on the app / headset that are shown on the website. A lot of these SLR videos are filtered out for me in the app. I have to add them to Favorites on my phone and then look at my list on the app, as they don’t appear in casual viewing. I don’t have any filters on the Laundry video for example. Hadn’t seen it on the headset but will go check it now.
Regarding the specific videos called out, my reasons for skipping these:
Harems aren’t for me. Too much noise, not into the bulk of the “C-List” girls in here. Too long. You’ll get more views with fewer A-Lists than a giant mob of loud, bored C and B listers. Asian Delight is a great example. Fewer girls, really into it, top shelf girls.
Tatted up, piercings, absurd fake tits, ugly ear hoops, excess jewelry, etc. instant skip. Look at your top models on the site and almost none of them have any of this.
I love ebony / ethnic girls. Not into nipple piercings. Bad color in this environment and lighting. Maybe I’m weird, but bad colors and lighting feels “cheap” or dirty or old. I liked her in the basketball 4-some.
For all of these - if I’ve favorited them - I put the headset on to watch it, skip around and right away if I’m seeing shitty camera work, I unfavorite and never go back.
Don’t care about scripts.

Just book girls from Brazzers and you’ll be good. Whatever you have to do to get them, make it happen. All the other factors will matter much less if you have chicks like Angela White, Lexi Luna, Kayley Gunner level star on a consistent basis. NA scenes aren’t one of the best looking videos but the casting is so damn good 90% or the time that I stay subscribed simply for that.

For me, none of these were keepers for me primarily due to the casting, which I will admit is absolutely subjective. I'm also not a big fan of scenes with an overwhelming amount of performers at once. When I tried to watch the innocent harem scene, my eyes found Eliza Eves and just left me wanting a one-on-one scene with her instead.

Agreed. Casting isn't easy because everyone likes different things and different kinds of women, etc. But there's been WAY too many totally unknown girls that look way too similar...skinny, small tits, spinner types imo. There's a severe lack of "busty" girls (fake or natural) in general. I like the fake look personally in porn as well as natural, but not a fan of the girls that look like they're 16. Not my thing. I think if you stick to NA/Brazzers/Bangbros level casting most people will be happy.
Once again, as I've said many times before, I think money is well spent on locking down A level star talent. I also think a large majority of fans would much rather have a bland setting/scenery if it means higher quality girls. I'd even take a blank background if it's a top level chick and really good lighting. You don't need to rent out a mansion.

doublevr I really, really, really, REALLY don't think that you should tie scripting priority to watch time statistics. There are a lot of subscribers who don't bother to watch scenes unless and until they have a script - unless it is ultra-top tier talent, and then we may skim them to make sure they are shot well and script-friendly so that we can beg for a script in comments.
What would help is that REQUEST SCRIPT button we've been asking for (and promised) for ever. Then you'd know how many people actually want a script! Simple, right? Otherwise, you're basing scripting priority on watch statistics of people who may not even own an interactive toy. That would also be an intersting datamining task - look at the watch time of users who regularly have a toy connected, and see if they differ from people who do not. I'm willing to bet that toy users watch significantly more videos that have scripts than that do not have scripts (both overall watch time and number of repeats).
And no, the script rquest thread does not serve the same function. If you're going to be a leader in interactive porn, do it right.
Hurto11 if you stick to NA/Brazzers/Bangbros level casting most people will be happy.
Dying to know the basis of this statement. Sure doesn’t include me. I hate the fake look, and seriously doubt that “most people” would be happy with this, but I’d also never presume to speak for “most people”.
Is the handy really that worth it? Seems like way more of a hassle than just jacking off normally. People really care that much about scripts? That shit doesn't matter to me at all. I've never tried a handy or anything, but it just seems like a pain in the ass from everything I've read. Clean-up, getting it to stay on, you have to maintain a boner the whole time etc. Why bother?

There's a reason those sites have been ultra successful and have been around well over a decade. The track record speaks for itself. Also, Those sites don't cast all fake looking girls. They have plenty of natural looking ones too, it's actually a good balance. But the attractive level is much higher than pretty much anywhere else. Even the girls that aren't my type of body usually at least have a nice face. I love the fake look though, and I know a huge chunk of people don't...but go look at their recent videos both VR and regular, and you'll see that they have plenty of naturally beautiful girls as well that are miles hotter than anything SLR has booked in a while.

There used to be a guy named Philip here. His casting was incredible. Beautiful girls. Incredible BGG combinations. 2021-2022 was a golden era at this site. He’s gone now, the incredible casting he did seems to have gone with him. Pretty sad.
Throw a like out there those of you who miss Philip. Likes seem to be very important here.
MikeAdrianoPov That is pure BS. Ther have been plent of scenes that I watched briefly because the model was hot and turned off quickly because either they sucked at acting or it was poorly shot.
Try not to be so simplistic.

Agreed. SLR was able to land Lexi Luna, Siri, Maddy May, Lena Paul, Blake Blossom, Kayley Gunner....that's the kind of talent I'm talking about. They haven't had anyone of that caliber in quite a while. These days there's MAYBE one video per month from them where I can watch it. The last good video they put out for me was with Chloe Surreal and that was months ago
