SchnuppiLilac SLR literally describe themselves as the "Netflix of VR Porn", so according to that ambition curation is important. This doesn't mean that all lower quality scenes are removed, but they shouldn't IMHO appear in the main feed alongside everything else. It gives a casual user the wrong idea. There is some fairly terrible small budget content on Netflix, but you have to look for it.

Youtube is a less passive approach, putting the onus on the viewer to seek out their ideal content, alongside recommendations. I'd say Pornhub is along the same lines.

Maybe you can't be both youtube and Netflix / Disney+, maybe it's a conscious decision for the site to decide what kind of experience the user expects / requires. I'd say the technical side of VR makes a premium feel with curation more appropriate than the Youtube wild west approach.

      Hey,
      First of all, thank you for bringing up this topic. I really appreciate your feedback, and I’ll be happy to receive more on a regular basis.
      Since the beginning of this year, my position in the company has changed, and now I’m in charge of all content-related matters on SLR. I’m in the process of revamping the entire system. Aspects such as content quality standards, QA approach, content tagging and filtering, community engagement, and communication will be reviewed and improved. Stay tuned!

      Thank you for the link and the suggestions. We use a Sandbox for low-resolution and/or low quality videos, and the one you posted will go there as well. However, you have the option to hide any particular scene, studio, or tag from your feed. Check it out by clicking on the three dots menu at the scene thumbnail.
      In any case, our QA approach will be improved, and scenes with similar issues will go to the Sandbox. I’ll create a separate forum thread for reporting quality issues.

        Yes, the quality threshold is naturally increasing. I can see a growing number of 8K videos and a decreasing amount of 4K and 5K content. Of course, we still have amateur-looking content filmed with old equipment, but even genuinely amateur studios are improving their quality. So there is no need to ban them.
        It is up to the content producer to deactivate comments for a particular scene. We will get in touch with the studio to fix the issue with the scene.

          They shouldn't and they won't. This is a question of content QA and we are working to improve it.

            Thanks for listening @bruce - and good luck with this task, I know it's not at all simple.

            vrpicasso Minimum resolution, refresh rate, bitrate, scaling / alignment, being true VR etc. Because right now I see comments on Reddit where people say "why is VR porn so shit" and it's because of the terrible, poorly shot and edited scenes which plague every aggregate site and which apparently NO ONE including those putting the scenes out has even watched with a VR headset.

            I think many of the points you raise here is the reason many niches and kinks fails or garner little attention. There are studios on this site that shoot content I love in 2D but I can't watch these scene from these studios in VR because the quality is horrible- low resolution, terrible scale, wrong angles, stomach camera, out of alignment and I could go on.

            The content could be great if they just made some changes but the studios or person shooting them are often out of 'reach' - meaning they don't respond to constructive criticism and continue shooting the same low quality content over and over.

            I've stated it before but at times I find myself speculating if some of these studios on SLR are just a single man's production that is more about fueling that man's fantasy of fucking mediocre pornstars and VR is just a way to fund this interest. As such he has no interest in changing as it spoils his fun.

              yes I sometimes find it very very sad that certain scenes which could be great are spoiled by for example horrible colors, distorted faces etc etc; but hey, that’s life too! I personally download all the extracts systematically (and yes, each person has their own neurosis) and if something might interest me I download the complete scene and cut it; I make my little library of jewels; it's like in the movies: there are people who will keep what others call turnips (French expression); well it’s like that; In any case, there is something for all tastes. but it's not bad that there is still a minimum required (but hey it's not simple: where to put this minimum);

              Totally agree with this sentiment. Most days I usually see only 2 or so videos after logging in even remotely worth watching because of my filters. Even then when I go to put the headset on I’m usually hiding half of whatever is left after looking at it and seeing the usual “gotcha!” moments where the video is subpar to the thumbnails. This site chose quantity over quality years ago.

                diwanga Totally agree with this sentiment. Most days I usually see only 2 or so videos after logging in even remotely worth watching because of my filters.

                Exactly. With my filters, I get maybe 4-5 new videos a day, and lately they are all from studios I just haven't gotten around to filtering yet. Seems all the quality players have left the site, but we still have the "world's biggest library" of mediocre VR. Now with SLRO taking a nosedive and devoting resources to PT and PT AI, it's just bleak.

                BTW, my dashboard shows 7277 total videos with my filters on.

                  Hairsational Funny enough they're shooting with a stable camera. Not 100% sure if it's the same guy or not though

                    Well, the first 4m 30s of the scene apparently have the left/right eyes the wrong way round. It would take someone on staff an hour or two every day to skim everything uploaded to ensure major technical flaws which render a scene or parts of a scene unwatchable do not get released. This is the absolute most basic level of curation but I would hope for a more thorough filtering process, honestly.
