  • Upcoming price and download limit change

Jeff777LUFC I’m no boffin 🙂, but that sounds like an internal wi-fi issue. If you’ve got a decent router and on 5Ghz band you should have no trouble streaming maximum resolution stuff.

Unless you’re still using a Go or something 🤷‍♂️

Yeah it's weird, i can stream 8k over wifi from my DNLA server without issues on my quest 2 but have issues streaming for some reason, but i'm fine with it 🙂

Go 20 TB at least. Beat the inflation!

@doublevr, maybe you should consider regional subscriptions? Price coding for particular locations might help you find that sweet spot, provided you can discourage abuse by forcing the user to access SLR only through the country they register from (block proxies).

    [deleted] If VPNs were banned I would cancel my subscription immediately without a second thought, I won't be the only one. Let's not plant horrendous seeds like that please lol

    By the end of the day we all want a fair model in place everyone would be happy about.
    Every exploitation has a price someone has to pay. Often times good users got affected because of some few bad assess.

      We are just looking for a more robust model to settle things. Annual and lifetime packages would be more rewarding for a user.
      Monthly should be more of a trial.

      Reduce the downloads by half for the monthly plan and keep the price at $19.99 for special occassions (Black Friday, Boxing Day, Veteran's Day, 4th of July, Valentines). That's how you'd be able to get the most money out of me. If the price goes higher I will, reluctantly, reactivate my account on POVR. However, I prefer the "organizational culture" of SLR 😉

      SchnuppiLilac good users and who are the few bad asses?

      This really turns me off as a regular subscriber to SLR. I don't want to feel guilty for using a service after I have paid for a service. I'm probably a "bad" user because I have left multiple times to try POVR, Badoink, Baberotica, WetVR (very briefly), and VRAllure. I return when there are at least five videos that I want to see.

        [deleted] I have paid $466 for my first 25 months. Current lifetime price is $434. The numbers speak for themselves: I may not be the smartest customer but definitely a good one 🙂

          SchnuppiLilac Every single person who pays for porn is a good customer, considering how stupidly easy it is to pirate any of this content. There is really no place at all in this industry to disparage people paying you as a "bad apple" or "data hoarder". People are paying you when they don't have to because they believe in your site and want you to succeed. Shitting on those same people on the regular is kind of unbelievable.

          I guess my internet and my limited income makes me one of these bad data hording customers. Living on a limited income I cannot afford to drop a large sum all at once for a lifetime or yearly sub so I'm stuck with monthly no matter what is offered at what price. The internet is not the best out here even at the "fastest" speeds so I'm forced to download if I want to see anything other than a slide show. I paid for a "premium" scripts bundle since it wasn't too much more than the regular subscription and the 13 videos a month gave it value to offset the increase in price. Despite saying "All the active subs will keep their current limits intact." my limits were decreased from 13 to 6 downloads a month. With my limited income I cannot justify spending $35 a month for only 6 videos.

          As somebody signs up for a month once or twice a year to refresh my external SSD drive, I'm fine with a lower download limit the next time I sign-up. (I have weekly internet outages due to my internet provider bribing the government to maintain a monopoly, so streaming is a no-go for me.) Can I make a suggestion on how to use the increased revenue from this policy change? Develop a kit (software, manual with tips, cameras, rigs, etc.) that OnlyFans girls/couples can either buy or lease from SLR so they can make videos in the safety of their own homes. There are simply too many horror stories from working with studios and a lot of the top talent on OnlyFans will never trust SLR no matter how hard you work on reputation building. Thanks for your consideration.

          Who essentially is affected negatively by users downloading the current limits? Other users by bandwidth issues? Or you as an organization maintaining a network with that much download activity? Is this a move to eventually get to an all streaming content format in order to start reducing cloud storage costs by no longer having to host to original huge files? From the tone of the OP this "issue" really comes down to money and subscriptions and saying that people do the monthly sub, pay less, download a ton of crap and then cancel? You obviously dont like that, we get it, so just get rid of the damn monthly discounted plan, get your damn full price for monthly subs that cancel whenever and dont touch or change the download limits???? Wouldn't that get you the money you feel you are loosing out on? There are obviously more people who you label as "abusers" of the monthly fee than "true" monthly subscribers or else this subject would not be a thing worth discussing and eventually changing in the future. If there is no issue with network or cloud bandwidth or anything technical like that with hosting the content that people hoard, and its all about the money, then fix the money aspect and dont touch the limits or am i missing something else?

            5 days later

            So users that buy annual subscriptions, regardless if they are subbed or not at the moment of bying, will actually have 15% lower subscription price without their limits touched? Of course saying -15% etc. means nothing because SLR sub prices are newer the same and there is always some "promos" that make it impossible to say what the price actually is.
            I did write down current values to compare later though (for discounts I computed price before discount)

            But if the limits are not touched for long subs then I don't think this is a bad change. It's sort of like a loyalty program, where people who pay more get more.

            You just did it the "Youtube" way where you give people something and now take it away, which is always "bad" and will get you negative PR regardless how you try to spin it.
            Giving 100% of value to group A and giving 115% to group B because they are "better" customers is always preferable than giving group B 100% and 50% to group A because they are "worse" customers ("better" and "worse" used strictly as a business value)

            Hairsational Right? So if its all about profit then why not update the pricing strategy and leave everyone's download limits alone. I cant speak for others but I personally do download up to my limits often within a month or two and that is because I often delete my entire or large portions of my porn collection for whatever reasons. Sometimes I decide I want to stop watching and so I stop cold turkey and simply delete it all. Other times I have to delete entire sections at a time to download a chuck of new content that has since been released and then I want to go back to some of the older content I might have deleted. I dont know if they realize that our storage media doesnt automatically keep growing with time like inflation. Most of us have a dedicated amount of space to download into but that doesnt mean that as more and more content comes out we are just going to perpetually continue upgrading or buying more storage, thats completely unrealistic. Also, most of us dont just download VR porn from here, I also maintain a sizeable non-VR collection of porn from some of my other favorite sites and that takes up a ton of space also since most of the other content I collect is mainly 4k and those scenes are often almost the same size as most of the compressed version of the VR scenes on this site.

            Reducing the number of AI script downloads to 3 per month is a disappointing move, considering that I just bought a Premium+Scripts lifetime subscription under the previous terms with 10 AI script downloads per months. Also AI scripts are still a bit of a gamble, so please raise that limit back up again.
