rerun119 I don't think it will either.
Nobody that DOESN"T have a VR headset is ever going to pay money for free porn. Never going to happen. Why would you?
So only people that have a VR headset and want to get porn the legal way are going to be able to see it. But why would you take the time to buy a SLR sub and buy a headset then go and watch 2d porn. It is never going to happen.
Just look at the 1 flat video SLR did as a test. It got 50 dislike comments. A couple SLR employee trying to say it is great and every other person disliked it. SLR tested it and thought it was a great success.
I don't think anybody is going to join because if it but as long as I don't see it in the VR feed then out of sight out of mind. Minus the money wasted that should go to what I paid for.
I do see one video in the VR feed today that is 2d. That shouldn't happen or people are going to get pretty mad fast
You don't need a VR headset to watch 2D porn on SLR, you can watch 2D and VR porn on a normal PC monitor if you wanted to and it looks fine (no side-by-side)
If they do end up attracting a lot of big and medium 2D studios to SLR then it will be a no brainer for anyone looking to pay for porn to give it a try. You get access to lots of studios for your money, just like a regular SLR VR subscription - that's the big appeal. It just takes time for an honest try at it, all the while everyone is shitting on the idea 😆
The difficult thing is getting new people introduced to VR porn, once they are on the platform for 2D they are 50% of the way to buying a cheap Quest 2 off eBay and then they'll want to try sex toys and it snowballs from there. So I can hardly blame SLR for trying this approach, maybe they do actually want to be a top tier 2D streaming website and any VR convert customers are a bonus
- SLR need to brand it better though, i'm 100% aware of their dive into flat porn but trying to find and differentiate it on the website is a confusing mess
They should just put a tab at the top left that says "2D porn" with a ? mouseover icon that explains it and stop calling it flat. Flat is confusing, especially to people that do not watch VR
And then there is "Flat immersive" - I have no clue what that even is. By nature 2D is not immersive and it's not VR converts, so what is it? Even the comments on the videos are confused by it
- I'm surprised they have not 100% successfully automated 2D porn video tagging and recognition, the metadata should be able to identify it surely, if not then they can identify it via thumbnail posters which all videos have
Either way they are attempting to bring more life into the website so i'm optimistic
