VRBangers got rid of the download button

They will obviously reverse this decision once the full impact has permeated into their tiny brains. However, even with downloads, they suck, so this is just another reason to leave them alone.

Hairsational Yeah exactly, it's similar to streaming movies and series nowadays. It's much more convenient to pirate content with something like streamio then it is to have subscriptions to all those streaming services and use all those streaming apps as a paying customer. Sometimes makes me feel like an idiot for paying for all those subscriptions.

When companies are making the lives of paying customers more difficult with all kinds of restrictions and limitations that are not present in piracy I think they are pushing people into piracy instead of preventing it. The obtuse digital rights management of JAV being a prime example.

Hairsational None would stop it, but it would delay it (new content generally is most popular and the longer--even if just a few days--it remains off pirate sites, the better) and potentially make it easier for the site operator to figure out who leaks the content.

I just finished watching Nicole Aniston's latest scene in 8K, which I got from a pirate site! This is so ridiculous. I literally have a lifetime memberships on both Vrbangers and Vrconk, yet it's useless now. I haven't used one of these sites since 2017, although apparently, unfortunately it's the only way for me to watch their scenes.

Scene sucks btw like all dark scenes they released.. but it's great to see Nicole back, her GoT scene though was good.

[deleted] I haven't used one of these sites since 2017

Wow, same here, once I got my gear vr back then I stop watching 2d, so was no need to download them anymore.

Now vrb forcing consumers back to them sites. Lol

I think this idea would make everyone happy when it comes to downloading.

I’ve been advocating for this for years: "vr porn" sites need to offer a streaming-only subscription as an alternative, and at a lower price. Speaking for myself, I tend to go real trigger happy with the downloads. It’s a hassle, time-consuming, and almost addictive. I bought two hard drives terabytes of space too and filled them up quickly. It’s incredibly frustrating trying to make room for new content too.

Having downloads available is problematic for me. I would prefer a streaming-only option at a lower price. Additionally, there should be an option to purchase individual videos for a small fee, like $2.99 or even less. I would subscribe to a streaming-only plan, but if I ever wanted to download a video, I could buy it separately.

All of this should be offered as an alternative to the current subscription plans, allowing consumers to choose. For example, a streaming-only subscription could be priced at $9.99 with the option to buy single videos for $1.99, (lol i went lower ...0.99!) while a full premium subscription with downloads could remain at $24.99.

I’m sure there are many consumers who would opt for a streaming-only subscription.

But I feel for yall if they take the downloads. That's gonna suck, especially if you don't have high speed internet for streaming, ugh

But downloading was a real problem for me, many times as I downloaded like a maniac I thought fuck I wish these vr sites had a streaming only as an alternative, I wouldn't be trying to download all I can. It was bad bro.

By now I'd probably have already bought maybe 2 more tb drives and filled em up.

I get we need downloads tho incase the net goes out, traveling, lock downs, take overs lol, need some files on deck for hard times.

But I'd like to see them add streaming only as an alternative to the streaming with downloads.

In the end it's the internet, it's changing

good luck vr fam ️

Not sure if someone mentioned this but you can still get downloads through playa
Default folder is User\AppData\LocalLow.PlayaContent\VOD

Which is why it makes even less sense..
There is also somebody who made a browser extension which returns the download button on the site, lol.

sylvan

Can you please make one that allows me to download JAV videos from SLR? :-)

Hairsational It doesn't really matter

It matters in the sense that they shouldn't do it there for their own good as long as they still have active subscriptions under the account they use in the forum, as they risk their access being terminated.

catflap hello, I just forwarded a link from someone who had done this;

Hairsational Fake "best VR porn site" reviews are the only thing that has kept them afloat

There is reason to believe that for at least a year now, the majority of their scene comments have been fabricated.

SchnuppiLilac If that's true, it wouldn't surprise me. Interested to know what evidence there is to suggest that though?

Hairsational
Circumstantial evidence, I guess. There seem to be dozens of users, posting very brief positive comments on random scenes in the same style. What makes it look fishy is that for all these users the forum profiles state that they have joined on the exact same date in 2023. While there seems to have been some user migration about a year earlier that also makes it look like many people joined on the same date, there was no such thing on that date in 2023. Once you discover more and more of the same kind of comments by these users, it seems pretty obvious what's going on. Moreover, some of these comments have started to appear in duplicates lately, suggesting there is some (glitched) automated process involved.

I don't trust rando browser extensions, and there's a simpler way around this. Check this out.
