Compilations Completely Hidden in Sandbox

doublevr just to sum up:
You want more PMV’s and compilations with cool effects and editing?

And regarding the linear compilations: I have been making multiple of the most favorited compilation videos this past year (my studio is AC VR) where I mainly focus on kissing (while fucking) and other intimate or niche stuff with multiple stars. Is this something you do not want anymore although it seems to be very valuable to many of your members?

Thanks in advance for your answer!

Achunden Compilations have to be cool and exciting. Like MutinyVR and VRHythm mentioned above.
Right now it’s more just a spam for most of them where I can barely see any added value. Going to check AC VR soon.

This is something we yet try to figure out. Bear with me

When life gives you lemons...

May I check it out, what's the link?

double_bubble let's keep figuring out. We can do whatever makes sense. Right now I'm trying to make sense how do we separate good ones and not so good ones

Couldnt resist

double_bubble I agree with you and support this initiative. At least one compilation per week we can upload, because otherwise it's really not worth the work done for 5-10 dollars earned on a film.

It would be nice if there was at least a special category, or if SLR were to promote that the compilations are in the sandbox so that all members would know this. Under these conditions, we feel that we are working in vain.

xeddin1 If the compilations were not wanted by the public, they stopped viewing. But they worked very well, at least in my studio. The examples given by you are ok, only that most of them made compilations from the SLR studio because it is the best known. But there are other studios that you can choose to compile their clips.

The idea is that after this decision, only a few studios will be left to make compilations because it is no longer profitable. you invest a lot of time and the results are very poor.

epicvr the problem is that most of compilations are gaming the system by spamming the feed. That's what we want to fix. Right now we are manually separating linear cuts from Mutiny/VRHYTHM style.

Also compilayions toggle will remove these from pornstars as well. It's super annoying indeed to see 16 compilations for 2 videos

I assume by filter out linear cuts, that this does not apply to original creators. For example, if SwallowBay wanted to post compilations of their original content (as linear cuts) they would get a straight pass through with no resistance.

We have been talking a lot about the visual effect of spam, but what if we switched gears to a negative effect I feel to be more pressing. The server backlog on uploading content and employee time spent doing quality checks.
Currently, I imagine this is what the process is
1) Each compilation must be reviewed to make sure it complies with everything.
2) Each compilation must also go through the transcoder queue.
3) Most earn about $5 (if we are to take as fact what was mentioned in this post previously)

I assume there is data on all three of these points (employee time spent reviewing compilations, backlog of non-compilation videos getting through as they wait for the many compilations to finish transcoding, money actually being earned on newer compilations).

I think it could be damaging to move to a system where creators essentially get told "no, you cannot make a compilation". The process of becoming a legal entity and just going through the process to actually post a compilation on SLR can take a lot of time and dedication. I think a more hand-in-hand approach could go a long ways with SLR and compilation creators, instead of a blunt axe.

Something should be done. But it should be vocal, and clear. What are the issues, how do we address it, how can we all do better to find something that works.

My suggestion, is a page on the forums specially for compilation creators and SLR and / or a channel in the discord.
This can keep the forums as a place for the general subscriber to discuss things they want to see / tech issues / whatever...while at the same time it will create a section for more business oriented discussion for the creators to collaborate with SLR (I.E., better relations, higher growth, higher quality)

xeddin1 studio compilations should be in the same boat. It’s either linear or cool

In my humble opinion, let’s break it down as fairy tale. SLR is an innovative powerhouse. One of its bold moves was the compilation feature, a bit of a trial-and-error experiment, but it made SLR stand out from the competition.

Then came the quality issues: too many low-quality compilations flooded in, turning the platform into a visual spamfest. The ideal response? More innovation! Think: a dedicated compilation section, filters, or even the ability to jump straight from a compilation to the original source (they already have the data for that!).

But innovation costs money, and the compilation feature didn't make the cut for priority funding. Instead, they went for a quick-and-dirty fix by dumping most compilations into a sandbox. Unfortunately, that move clashed with SLR’s inner identity of innovation.

As you can imagine, compilation creators weren’t thrilled, they're now venting in forums instead of focusing on producing better content. It's like SLR shot itself in the foot. Meanwhile, the market is shifting toward shorter, snappier content (similiar to TikTok, see also SLR shorts that flopped), and the beast of compilation creativity is already running wild.

The question is: Will SLR stay ahead, pioneering the next wave of innovation? Or will they be stuck playing catch-up? Only time will tell. Hopefully, the sandbox was just another one of those trial-and-error moves, and an innovative solution is on the horizon.

I absolutely love VR PMV above all else.I enjoy every single videos by Mutiny and was so disappointed when it stops making videos.So it is a pleasant surprise to see VRHYTHM's videos start appearing.I would love to see more videos like these.I do watch the other compilation videos only if they feature the models I like.
