rerun119 It really feels like you guys made great immersive scenes and got us all here. I bought a lifetime membership because of it. Then just moved on to the next thing to bring in people different people (which I understand) BUT forgot about all of us that came here 2 years ago.
This is exactly how I feel. It feels like a bait and switch, honestly. Same goes for the arguments I keep seeing repeated:
- Why can't you just let other people have what they want?
Well, because I chose a site because it offerred what I wanted, not what other people want. And when it did offer what I want, but now offers what other people want, I'm unhappy.
- There are plenty of videos that you like.
Yes, but I've seen them already. I am paying for new content that I like, and now there is less of that.
justsomedude101 SLR is the only studio that doesn't have a brand of what I am signing up for. Different directors make wildly different porn.
I don't want to sound like I'm minimizing your complaint, but this is exactly what SLR and SLR Originals has always been: different production teams shooting different styles of content in different ways.
Yes, but it's more than just style. Lately, we have several different teams that shoot with wildly different QUALITY. Poor lighting, camera angles, editing, and direction are not issues of style. There often doesn't seem to be a standard, such that a director can do what they want within certain boundaries, but each video must conatin 'x' and not contain "y".
justsomedude101 Try doing the same exercise but for, say the last 3 months instead (the timeframe in which Passthrough releases have been a regular thing). The numbers might look quite different.
Over the last 3 months (excluding anything less than 1 week old and censored JAV), both PT and standard SLRO average 2.6k likes each. Again, though, Molly Little and Serena Hill skew this a lot - PT without them averages 2k likes. I would argue that either of those actress' scenes would have gotten more likes in standard format than they did in PT. While the numbers did change, I still don't think PT is doing "extremely well". It seems about the same as others, with the caveat that it excludes a fair amount of users from even watching them, may drag the numbers down for popular actresses, and causes a fair amount of frustration for people who cannot enjoy them at all.
The juice doen't seem like it's worth the squeeze, imho.
I do appreciate your response.
