  • SLR Originals reset plan - Nov '23

theHobbit Nash is the least popular director based on averaging likes for the last 22 scenes. Simense are killing it.

A valid point and a good exercise. Simsense is 100% killing it. Even though I am not a fan of PT, it is undeniable Simsense and SLR has done wonders with PT, and I'm positive they will improve it even more with Nash. It is also undeniable that PT is firing on all cylinders right now and it's what everyone is curious about. Meta seriously owes SLR a quarter of their Quest 3 sales to them lol. It's the reason why I bought a Quest 3 anyways, because I wanted to try PT out.

But a counter metric to your data. Here are the average likes from each director, of their last 20 SLR scenes. (And I did not include the Render-Pleasure scenes for Simsense as they were very low, and repeat scenes).

Based off this, Nash does have more likes, though only by a narrow margin. It is surely a testament to Simsense to be pulling these numbers, no doubt.

Anyways, overall, I have mentioned previously that "likes" are only part of the story, but since that is the only forward-facing metric we can use, it's the only one that we can really compare at this point. So, personally, I take this with a grain of salt.

      Everything sounds good except no 3. Nash has actually enough work to do with creating VR content. His recent VRSpy scenes are some of the best fucking VR scenes of the past few months or even years. Way better than most other VR content on SLR, including his own work. That's what I expect from SLR on a constant basis. Taking even a few hours of his precious time away for inferior and limited AR stuff is a travesty.

      g2kbuffetboy Not to mention that all of this is just nonsense from a data science POV. If you really wanted to compare preferences, you'd need to release a Nash vid and a PT vid of the same actress on the same day and see which format people prefer to experience that performer in. Even that may be suspect, as a lot of new subs have signed on for the PT, and old subs may have left due to the decline in regular VR quality. In that case, all you are really proving is that you've changed the fanbase, which is fine if its bigger, otherwise it's just zero-sum churn. Not to mention that Simsense is going to get a lot of likes simply because most of the newer and in-demand stars get shot in PT first.

      vrguy69 There's a reason why MULTIPLE people think you're just a troll. Just b/c you take a break from it every once in a while makes you no less of a troll.... haha.

      My biggest issue here is that he doesn't seem capable of disagreeing respectfully and politely. It's a matter of being civil.

      Again, though: stop feeding him. He wants attention, and you're giving it to him constantly. Stop playing the game.

            petermc I totally respect your preferences.

            petermc Watching endless boring “realistic” scenes is not my idea of pornography. Not to break it to you but normal people don’t have sex for an hour and do all the positions, most girls aren’t going to blow you every time either. None of it is realistic.

            My point is that your preference from traditional pornography is still a preference for a particular type of fantasy. GFE VR, intimate VR, etc is a different type of fantasy made possible by the medium that ISN"T really possible in flat porn. We need to nurture it, not complain that it "isn't pornography", or that it isn't the "future". And we certainly don't need to indulge those few choice members who derogate it by saying that those who enjoy it must be sexless nerds or not real men.

            This type of porn is only possible in VR. To stop making it is to ignore the medium.

                  I agree, he's a condescending little bully. Ignoring bullies is one sensible course of action. Mocking them is another. His tiny pea brain doesn't scare me and I rather enjoy watching him cope. SLR team can look the other way but I don't have to. In the end, every bully has his day.

                    We seem to be drifting away from the topic of dirty talk in scenes. I’m not sure what you mean when you say GFE porn is not possible in flat porn, it absolutely is. You don’t have the closeness and eye contact but you can still do vanilla porn with no dirty talk.

                    I’m also not suggesting anyone stop making anything. I was responding to someone else asking for them to stop including dirty talk in scenes by saying that I disagree with that suggestion.

                    Like I said, GFE porn, where people make love and whisper sweet nothings to each other, absolutely has its place. I don’t want to deny people that and I sometimes enjoy it myself. It should be part of a larger variety of content though rather than the sole aim of VR porn as some seem to want. You can still be intimate without being vanilla. You can also explore your filthier fantasies with amazingly beautiful women in porn which you don’t get to do in real life, that’s part of porn too. It’s not all about trying to recreate a real life encounter with a nice girl, though it can be that. It’s also about having crazy sex with sex crazed nymphos too and everything in between. VR porn can do all of it, let’s not pigeonhole it into one particular type of scene.

                      g2kbuffetboy this is great, well done for putting this together. I was looking at the landing page as this one makes more sense to me. Is scenes 1 to 20 in chronological order, as I am going to do some line charts?

                          vrguy69 Imagine if I just joined ONE of the sites I listed... Or joined a couple at a discounted rate. Wow there goes your $75 theory, huh? Wanna know why that was so easy? B/c your point was half-baked and myopic as usual.

                          Which one are you going to join Badoink - the one with grainy videos or NA - the one with blurry videos?

                          This means that your comment.....

                          vrguy69 The main customer base is still VR users, and if a sizable group of VR users don't like the direction SLR is going, they will flock to competitors who focus on VR. Simple as that.

                          ....was pulled out of your backside, with no empirical data supporting your statement. I just reduced your comment to two words 'whimsical pretext' as I am clever like that 😃

                          Awww it's nice to see you all together in your little support group - therapy is good and you can all share your experiences about ME in a safe setting hahahahahah. I hope you get biscuits and tea afterwards

                                    theHobbit Is scenes 1 to 20 in chronological order, as I am going to do some line charts?

                                    Yes, sorted by "Newest" x each director. It's not a perfect science as @Wendigo mentions, as there are many reasons for "likes" (models, passthrough vs standard, timing, scripts, etc) and of course other metrics we do not see. But yeah, that is how I got the numbers up above.

                                        doublevr yes definitely. I am a data scientist by profession, would love to have some fun with the data

                                          Nash scenes are rated higher on average than Simsense scenes according to the rating calculation method SLR is using

                                          Jeef THIS!!! At a minimum, there should be both povs available.

                                            If this thread is for requests/suggestions.. here are a couple:

                                            A lot of studios, categories, etc are great, but I probably mostly like these Emily Bloom / StasyQVR / StripzVR / iStripper / VRSolos / some of Plushies / etc.. girl(s)-only type scenes

                                            Your argument is that SLR has no viable competition: Obviously false

                                            theHobbit This means that your comment.....

                                            it's objectively not pretext if I'm responding LITERALLY to a thread about SLR's future plans and how customers might react. Listen carefully so you understand: THAT is the pretext!

                                            You might work with data, but your grasp of linguistics and logic are not your strong suit. Is getting dogpiled all the time your kink or what? Just change your tone and we'd all be better off.

                                                  vrguy69 I agree with @Wendigo, that thing is just the kid we all knew who likes to be annoying for attention. Don't feed the troll

                                                    vrguy69 Your argument is that SLR has no viable competition: Obviously false

                                                    it doesn't SLR is the best.

                                                    vrguy69 it's objectively not pretext if I'm responding LITERALLY to a thread about SLR's future plans and how customers might react. Listen carefully so you understand: THAT is the pretext!

                                                    When some of you change your rude unconstructive tone towards SLR, then maybe I will change mine. A small minority of you enjoy threatening to leave (and yet don't), pushing other studios to leave, demanding that SLR do what you want whilst ignoring the wants of other customers etc. You operate as a toxic group and then single me out and call me a bully etc. It's pathetic lol.

                                                    However for the most part, I interact nicely with the majority of people on the forum and enjoy their contributions. I even like some of you even though some of you don't like me much it seems haha

                                                          g2kbuffetboy yeah you are correct, for instance Nash for sure benefitted by the hype around Layla Jenner which increased the likes in some of his scenes, but I'm pretty confident he is averaging around the 2.5k mark in terms of likes. I would have to check the data here though. It would be interesting to see how this compares to his VRSPy scenes. This is why I chose just the landing page and I think this could be an important metric if it was analysed monthly. I like your analysis though as well.

                                                          @doublevr if I could have access to the API please, I will start a thread on some SLR analytics for people to discuss.

                                                          My main point was that for Nash to improve, he would need to motivate an additional 725 people to hit the like button to get to Simsense levels and I think a major factor here is that Simsense get to shoot some nice girls. For instance Simsense shot Pink Lily Lou and did well on PT, whilst Nash wasn't sure. There were even people telling him on his thread to not shoot her even though it edged out that more people requested a new scene with her when polled. He never shot her but Simsense did and I like Simsense for that.
