I'm behind one of the newer compilation studios. I definitely tried to make all my compilations quality with lots of material and to deliver on a decent schedule, to be creative and to give SLR Premium users good content that they enjoy. I invested a lot of time and resources in preparing, planning and dedicating the next two months to producing my best work to date.
Unfortunately, compilation studios have been approved which spam quantitatively, 3 very similar compilations shorter than 30 mins in the same 24-48h with ridiculous thumbnails making us all look bad. Naturally, there is a case to be made for too many compilations now clogging up the timeline and I understand the decision to hide all compilations in the sandbox from 1st of September onwards because of it.
I certainly cannot keep spending several hours per compilation to earn back a sum total of $5 to $7 now nor will any other quality compilation studio. I am writing in the hopes that the users who enjoyed these compilations may chime in and make their voices heard. As a user myself compilators spend several hours collecting footage and splicing together those scenes that we want to see more of like chicks making out in front of our faces. It cuts 30 mins of talk, tease and blowjobs, to get to the stuff I really want to see. In a way I was also making compilations I myself would and did enjoy.
Perhaps a solution is possible, where compilations can have their own category, their own upcoming page, because simply throwing everything in the sandbox may well kill this tier of content on the site, in my humble opinion. I will accept the decision and simply move on but I feel like giving this discussion on the forums an honest try is the least I could do.
Best,
