Oh wow. Last time I checked the Badoink channels they didn't have anything. Now I'll have to check them out. I really like the variety of studios SLR has but I might try a month or something at those others just to see what's up.
Appreciate the info!
I was about to second that suggestion. Having premium members get a drip feed of that stuff can take the sting away from ppv. It also let's you try some things risk free, which is nice.
Thogapotomus that's right

Regarding the warm reactions here, I don't think there are a few of us complaining about downloading the master videos on SLR :-)
Little feedback about your last SLR video : Pink me!
You make great videos and then offer crappy video quality with a 21 mb/s bitrate like in 2018 where you feel like you've been drinking because it's so blurry. Okay, if you don't want to offer master videos anymore, at least have the honesty to offer videos in better quality (60 mb/s). It's 2025, guys. All your competitors offer videos above 30 mb/s minimum. This choice is incomprehensible.
I understand that you want to reduce your bandwidth costs, but you could start by removing some studios with mediocre quality.
Then why not increase subscription prices? I don't care about paying a little more if the quality is there (not the PPV scam). And then why make videos longer than an hour to watch only 15 minutes at the most ? :-)
I don't think the majority of your customers like looking at armpits ;-)
Ok this quality indeed makes no sense. Now you're not only removing the HBR files but also downgrade the regular 8k !?!?!

I compared the two versions:
AV1: 12 mb/s
H265: 21 mb/s
I don't really see the difference, although I have the feeling that H265 is very slightly better. AV1 must be too low by its bitrate to reach the same level.
I compare with another recent video "Naughty Dorm Party: Sneaky Induction" and the quality is better.
In the missionary view the pussies are not blurred like in Pink me!
I hope this is an encoding error with the recent production changes.
boudaba Yeah the H265 is 20.6 mbit/s. A quality that's really below industry standard at the moment. One can only HOPE that this is some kind of mistake. And that it's not their idea to only included sub par video quality in the monthly subscription because they want to push us towards the $7 ppv version.
harigeharry The AV1 version has the same very poor quality problem. I think it's a mistake, otherwise it's really sad, especially with such an actress.
Terrible move. Selling cheap lifetime subs with the full intention of replacing lost revenue by charging for high quality downloads and who knows what else. You absolutely could increase revenue from lifetime users by adding features instead of this awful bait and switch. So disappointed. I've been a huge champion of SLR on reddit and other forums and now I feel like an idiot.
boudaba The previous PT scene was 21 mbit/s for AV1 so they lowered the bitrate starting from the Emily Pink video.
21mb/s for h265 and even lower for av1 is crazy bad. Way too low indeed. Seems they went the cost saving route instead of improving quality with av1 then. Hope this is a mistake too
doublevr What the deal with lack of original video download option on the last 2 SLR originals? Its because of AV1? If it is, then this option is very bad.
High bitrate witnessers is like flat-earthers

Post some comparison screens or GTFO
Asked my guy again:
SchnuppiLilac The Dunning-Kruger effect
doublevr You waste pixels on 190 FOV when most headsets struggle to even show over 100 then you lower the bitrate. I don't know all the details but it looks low quality. You don't need a degree from MIT to see when something looks bad to you. You know it when you see it. I know what the original videos looked like before and what the new ones look like now. They look obviously worse. If there was no difference why are you even selling the PPV version?
