^ and ^^ I'll never like download limits but I can accept them if the site does two things. First, the limit needs to be reasonable. I don't think that three downloads per day on a site like BB is reasonable. Same with the 25-scene weekly limit at Vixen Media Group. The second thing is that the site needs to be upfront about the limit. I find some sites rely on lack of information while others outright lie. I write site reviews and a couple of years ago I was assigned to review a series of sites and all of them promised no download limits but then when you were behind the paywall, there were download limits, and relatively low ones.I know some like to beat up on Gamma, but even their critics must admit that they are transparent about downloads. There is no mystery about what they are offering. There is no way I can choose a lower cost option and expect downloads when it says it is streaming only.
I don't understand the economics of adult sites, but for big sites like Bang Bros and VMC, why not follow the Gamma model? I'm okay paying more for downloads. I do it every time I join a Gamma site. I used to do it when I joined a Team Skeet site, but I've read here that they no longer offer any downloads now.
This probably isn't the place to ask this question since many of us here are more collectors than casual viewers, but has the market shifted so much that most subscribers don't care about downloading?
As a collector, I'm always on the hunt for new models, sites, and even genres. But as a collector, I want to download the scenes. I suspect that at some point I'll need to give up hunting for new stuff and just enjoy what I have. But for me, it's that hunting and collecting that is the best part of this weird hobby we all share.
