Just My opinion but the quality of the girls seems to have gone down a bit on this site and the associated sites. IMO some the the recent girls are barely average.

Been saying this for the last couple of months. They need to realize fancy hotel rooms and high end resorts don't necessarily make for great scenes and perhaps, divert some of that money to actually paying the girls that put out great scenes instead.
I think the use of the bed and Laurent Sky directing the American scenes are on the right track. Just brighten the room more and some more girls that give that "wow I cant believe they got her" response and they would be back on track.

yep this, instead my response to most of the recent ones have been "who?" or "yawn"
^ Yeah, the darkened intro, the horrible lighting/filter and Haley's overacting are drawbacks but it generally looks more like classic Blacked than anything they've released in months. The last scene that came close was the Hime Marie scene in February. They all suffer from this dreadful filter though, which makes the scenes look unnatural and unattractive.
I agree that aside from a few exceptions (e.g. Kenzie Anne, Freya Mayer) the casting hasn't had that 'wow' factor these days. But every scene would be automatically twice as good, regardless of casting, if they would ditch the miserable visual / lighting style they've adopted.
Agree, and agree again. I don't want monochrome, simplistic, or just plain stupid sets like many studios use, but it's clear they need to divert more of their money to some girls that bring more of an excitement factor. The infrequency of posting on this thread is more proof they have lost the mojo they once had, except for a rare scene here and there.

and yet another BGG next. that seals it, I'm going to unsub from all their sites. The output is fucking terrible.
What are the chances now that they conditioned their fans to only get 4 updates per site in a month, that they keep it like that to save costs while expecting members to pay the same price?
Oh, unquestionably. They're never going back to an update every 5 days.
Sadly, the subs they have left are too porn-addicted to care, so they'll get away with it.
The value for money of these sites materially decreased 30% yet you've still got all these "Gold" (1+ years) and "Boss" (2+ years) subscribers, plus a bunch "Silver" (6-12 months) and "Bronze" (3-6 months) and newer subscribers who must've signed up at 1 update a week, still waxing lyrical about how this site is the bestest and the producers are so awesome.
With customers like that, they're really under no pressure to go back to their old schedule. Eventually the penny will probably drop with a few of these guys, but it won't be enough to make a difference. They'd need to be losing more money from outraged customers unsubbing than they're saving by shooting 21 fewer scenes per site every year in order to feel the need to revert to the old schedule.
Ironically, the porn addicts are going to be the reason they produce less porn, which is both amusing and infuriating.
Actually they are back to their old schedule which was an update per week for each site , they increased their frequency due to customers demand , but when COVID hit and California went in lockdown and the filming of either mainstream and porn was almost halted it would have been very hard to keep up with their new increased schedule and they got back to their old one, also consider that meanwhile their sites become 7 as opposed to their original two then three , that mean seven scenes per week already , consider also that during the lockdown and travel restrictions many customers stayed at home with their significant ones thus making it hard to consume porn and maybe it was also less needed , i mean a couple together all day with a lot of time to kill, well who needs porn? So incomes decreased, difficulty to shoot increased and steady costs , are you really surprised they had to go back to their weekly update schedule?
March 2015 Blacked moved to an update every 5 days. This continued for 5 YEARS until a global pandemic understandably, but temporarily (they claimed), forced them to move to an update per week. Tushy moved to an update every 5 days in February 2016. All their other sites have updated every 5 days since their inception.
An update every 5 days is their normal schedule and has been for the vast majority of these sites' existence. Any attempt to argue otherwise, or that customers should not expect that schedule, is fundamentally dishonest.
They are filming again. Travel has reopened. Hotels and accommodation have reopened. They've been charging the same subscription price, while filming only 70% of the normal output. If there's a reason why they cannot yet go back to their normal schedule then they owe their subscribers an explanation and an estimate for when it might happen, if at all.
Dogfart is releasing 3 or 4 scenes a week. Brazzers released 14 scenes this past week. Bangbros are releasing a scene a day.
It's almost 16 months since they were forced to cut their output. Time to either go back to the proper schedule or offer your subscribers an explanation or a price drop.
^ I'm sorry would you please recalibrate your calculation removing those scenes filmed in EUROPE from those actually filmed in the USA ?

In regards to frequency and quantity of content I think it also needs to be considered that studios may be having a harder time attracting young talent due to the rise in popularity of onlyfans. The gonzo sites are still releasing a lot of scenes but they're filling their schedules with milf and European shot content. As someone who favors American girls under the age of 30 I'm feeling the pinch. I've never been so bored with porn in my 20+ years of consuming it.
Below are few hot girls who need to appear on blacked or blacked raw soon. Most of them are willing to do IR and have already did a scene or two. There are plenty of pretty girls which blacked can try. Apart from Kenzie anne , ariana van x .. i did not see much of a quality in girls lately. I strongly recommend to try below list
Maddy may Sonya blaze kenzie anne -- Yes please more and more scenes Amber moore aubrey valentine Eva elfie crystal taylor Jia lissa-- Please bring her back April Valentino kinsley kane Lily Larimar kylie quinn ariana van x -- More scenes tru kait nadia noja kenzie maddison + dredd sofie reyez Alyx star maddy may Kayley Gunner
Most concerning for the site has been the "Male talent". None of them are performing as they were . Example Jax slayer was not even fucking in scene with Haley spades. All i heard was Haley screaming and nothing else. Jax slayer performance is going down compared to his early scenes Example: His scene with Lacey lennon, mazzy grace compared to recent one with haley spades. Other male pornstars are even worse, they do not even have chemistry with the girl and every scene is not even watchable. Jason luv,rob piper,Jax.louie smalls atleast build a chemistry and are into girls which makes scene hot.

That Sybil A pic looks like anal is involved. Thought she was exclusive with her boyfriend. That switch went quite fast.
Aw man anal would have made it better. I really liked her first scene and don't think the next one will top it but, still glad she has a new scene on the site. I also like that it looks like she will be all nude and its one on one. Looks like a solid scene.
Even though my interest in Blacked has tremendously decreased in the past months a Sybil A scene is a must watch, my curiosity was piqued again. I cannot wait!
Wait, what's their seventh site? I thought they had only 6 Blacked Blackedraw Tushy Tushyraw Deeper Vixen
What's the 7th one?

As someone above mentioned even though the last few updates have not been that great except the ivy wolf comeback scene with Elsa jean and Laney grey with Lilly bell - Any Vixen network scene with Sybil is always a delight to look at . So this is must see irrespective of the outcome !
This Sybil scene provides a good opportunity to illustrate what I've been talking about with the change in the lighting/filter they're using.
The new style is much darker with less natural light, giving everything these unnatural orange and purple tinges. For example, look at how purple Sybil's lips look - no, it's not lipstick; it's the lighting/filter. Check out earlier in the trailer on the patio, where they're using a purple light and Sybil looks like an extra from 60's Star Trek, covered in purple bodypaint.
All the natural contrast has been drained out of the scene, with the performers practically blending into the orangey/golden background with the only standout colour being the purple tinges.
Another good example of the effects of this lighting change was the recent Ella Hughes scene. I'll create a side by side comparison of that scene and her 2019 scene if I can dig out them out to further illustrate what I'm talking about.
I find the new lighting / visual style far less attractive than the old one, but sadly it's become uniform not just on Blacked but across the entire network now. Much darker, much less natural, with these unattractive colour palettes. It started on Deeper but has now taken over the whole network, practically eradicating the classic style that so many enjoyed. It's a real shame.
^^^ Very good illustration of the new lighting and the problem with it. The brightness was a distinct look that I equated with the VMG sites but now it seems like they want them to look closer to DEEPER which is a mistake in my opinion. The bright look of BLACKED scenes of the past is way hotter than the DEEPER look.
^ Yeah, the visual style across all of the sites now is nowhere near as crisp and attractive as it used to be.
This is the Ella Hughes comparison I was talking about. Again, you can see in the recent scene her skin is practically purple the whole time. It's not sunburn or flushes, it's the lighting/filter.
The contrast and brightness is all washed out in the newer scenes and has been traded for this orange and purple filter.

First noticed that on Liya Silver's comeback scene for Tushy. As you say, this has infected the whole network now.
'hIgH pRoDuCtIoN vAlUeS' : their color grading comes at the cost of the girls' natural skin tone. Originally Vixen / Tushy / Blacked had original color palette with no altering of colors.
I can tell that the crew and director just want to get done with their job. All sites are expensive show of sterility.
Next girl in Blackedraw looks hot.. Thank got its Joss with her.

Man -how can we enjoy the beauty of the girl and her assets when it is being shadowed by this "new color grading" ?? I noticed predominately in the new scenes esp in Blacked after noticing your side by side comparison .
I barely watched that scene because the lighting was so off. The Euro scenes a couple of years back were among the most beautiful ever produced for these sites. But they've clearly been instructed to homogenize the production with the darker, gaudier Deeper-inspired style that the American productions have adopted.
