Can we bring back trans content like grooby

Nightwing976

Why did SLR let groobyvr go, they were the best trans studio. Trans section is mostly filled with 2d flat videos now, paying for a VR porn site to watch flat videos is not enticing. Is there anything that can be done to bring Groobyvr back?

You can read some of the posts from Grooby in the below threads. The gist is that Grooby wasn't getting what they wanted, so they walked.

To be fair, what Grooby was asking for was reasonable. Like the Trans section not being completely hidden and the normal functions of the site usable in that section (search, models, tagging, favorites, upcoming, etc).

I know SLR has been promising to fix this for 3+ years now, but even on the new site (new.sexlikereal.com) a ton of functionality is still not working.

Grooby are the only studio for non-brazilian Trans scenes and its embarrassing that SLR can't keep them when their big competitor can. Grooby didn't pull their content from everywhere, just here.

SLR don't care about trans, they won't even make the category easily findable

Don't get me wrong, I was gutted when we lost the Grooby studios, but "reasonable" can be subjective. My read on the situation was that Grooby thought they had more negotiating power than they actually did. Right or wrong, SLR has decided that investment in the Trans section is a low priority. So Grooby asking them to commit additional resources to Trans (redesign, coding, maintenance, etc) without some way to offset that additional cost was a questionable strategy.

They were reasonable, they had spoke to SLR years ago and more recently before leaving. SLR didn't care about putting trans section on equal footing and would rather let it die than put a little time into fixing it

SLR aren't some tiny company with shallow pockets, they can easily afford to pay someone to fix something

The people with shallow pockets are little studios that die when platforms like this don't care about the little guy
