theHobbit I’m not backtracking, I have no idea if it’s possible to start up your own independent site in the VR Porn space. Doublevr says that, since 2018, it’s not financially viable for new sites to work. I’m simply saying, if he is right, that’s pretty depressing.
If he is right then yes, you’re correct, it’s my own opinion that aggregator sites like SLR, POVR etc are the main cause of that. I have spoken to a VRporn site owner whose videos are on SLR and I asked him why he puts his stuff on here as that gives people zero incentive to subscribe to his site? He basically said that SLR have made it so that you have no choice, that you can’t operate on your own. He says that no one is prepared to subscribe to single studios anymore when these huge aggregator sites exist where you can get everything for one subscription. He therefore has to put the content on here to make it financially viable and the vicious circle continues then as that means no one subscribes to his site directly. Basically SLR has all the independent studios by the balls.
I don’t know if that is true either, maybe he’s just blaming others for his lack of success. It kind of makes sense to me though, what he’s saying, as why else is everyone putting all their content on here instead of keeping it exclusive to their own site?
I don’t blame SLR for doing what they do, it’s a business at the end of the day, they’re here to make money and, as far as VR porn goes, they’re pretty successful. As a consumer though I would appreciate a healthier VR porn scene with more smaller independent studios. In 2d porn there’s literally something for pretty much everyone, an almost infinite number of sites catering to every legal fetish. In VR, its pretty similar generic content being put out by a small number of studios.
