Kolaches These are the numbers I am referring to. SLRO top of the month. I cannot see any indication that PT videos in general are significantly less popular than non-PT videos. It is pointless to speculate whether the Serena Hill and Salgo videos could have achieved even more likes as non-PT, as it is pointless to speculate whether the Paisley video would have recieved more likes if it had been PT. But in any case, there is no general popularity gap between PT and non-PT. I was surprised myself.

      SchnuppiLilac I don't agree that this is a good way to think about it. We need a baseline because we don't know if it's just from the star herself, or because it's a PT video. But we do know that a PT vid and non-PT vid from the same star, the non-PT is better received

          Allie: Non-PT 2.8 K in 11 months vs. PT 1.7 K in 2 weeks.
          Molly: Non-PT 7 K in 4 months vs. PT 4.6 K in 2 months.

          Still not convinced. Let's check again in 2 months 🙂

              SchnuppiLilac the numbers aren’t going to just keep increasing linearly. Also there are people who can’t even watch PT so SLR is choosing to exclude a percentage of their members every time they release one, which is especially bad if it’s the girl’s first VR scene since it’s not guaranteed she’ll ever shoot another. It’s only fair to release a PT scene that is watchable for some people only after releasing a scene that is watchable for everyone

                Kolaches I still don't understand why we use new models for passthrough. IMO that should only be reserved for people who we've already shot. We're not giving this poor girl a chance to get the traction she deserves

                We book the models who are available in Florida for Passthrough shoots since that's where the team is based that shoots PT content. That's pretty much all there is to it tbh. We book the talent that's there, which happens to be a lot of new talent.

                  justsomedude101 Oh my god you are killing everybody that doesn't have PT with these smoking hot girls. I mean I know that PT is SLR baby pet project but for the love of god. Can you please shot them in a normal scene too? That would stop making everybody get mad. Is it really that hard to say "hey would you like to shoot for us for 2 days?"

                  I can't even look at the forum anymore. It's just looks like SLR is chasing the money and just shitting on everybody that doesn't like PT. I mean this is starting to be crazy in our faces.

                      rerun119 just shitting on everybody that doesn't like PT.

                      I'd like to specifically point out that I don't think I've ever criticized anyone's personal tastes when it comes to Passthrough or any other sort of content. Everyone has their jam, as well as stuff they don't like.

                      When someone asks "why do X thing?" I usually try to respond with relevant info, even if 9 times out of 10 it's a fruitless effort since people are passionate about what they do & don't like with porn and will continue asking "why do X thing" in different ways. Human nature and all that.

                          justsomedude101 What? I don't understand what you are talking about. Is that a joke about shitting on people?

                          I just wanted to know why SLR doesn't hire these new girls for 2 scenes. One for PT and one for everybody else. I would assume that the girls would like to make twice the money with a team that they already worked with the day before. Plus SLR gets two scenes that they are going to have to shot anyways. It makes scheduling easier because it is less girls to have to find. You guys say maybe we will have them back someday. The next day is the easiest day to get them.

                          This girl is so hot. I'll never see her with SLR but at least Deepinsex is shooting them

                              Just wanted to point out that I don't insult people's preferences around Passthrough or anything else.

                              It might sound easy, but logistically and practically it really isn't unfortunately. We don't have any plans at this time to start shooting content in this way.

                                  Dude, do you not know how Geography works? He literally just said the PT team is located in Florida which is on the East coast while the rest of the team operates out of California which is in the west coast. Having them shoot for both studios on the same day is impossible unless you have a working teleportation device on your hand, in which case, first let me have it! I'm so tired of depending on incompetent airliners and I'd love to see them go bankrupt. Second, I can travel to Japan whenever I want to, you know for science! xD

                                      biZZler Maybe before you make a statement you should know what you are talking about.
                                      Do you know who SimsenseMedia is? You have probably seen his regular scenes on here. Some of them are really goog.

                                      Just to name a couple. If you did know what you were talking about then you would know that SLR says that he is still going to shoot regular scenes. Which just happens to be in Florida on the East coast probably really close to the PT studio.

                                      So this statement is really dumb

                                          I know it gets a lot of hate, but I for one really appreciate that you guys are very forward thinking with all the pass through scenes, especially recently. The timing is perfect(I’m sure intentionally so) with the Quest 3 coming out soon and full color pass through becoming way more mainstream. The black and white fuzzy pass through really does nothing for me, but knowing I’ll be able to rewatch all these soon the way they were intended is awesome! I think a lot of people are really underestimating how immersive this will be, it’s almost scary. No one else seems to be investing this heavily, if at all, in their pass through tech. If you guys can really promote this once the quest 3 comes out, I imagine it could really drive purchases/subscriptions in a big way.

                                            Jeef investing in passthrough is fine and I agree a good idea in general for down the road. But I think it's bs to do it for new models
