^ I suspect that will have a negative impact on Blacked as they will stretch resources. They should maybe assign a crew to just work on BLACKED and make videos that are good for the interracial genre. Bring back some brightness to have contrast that type of thing. Julia is in the ballpark sometimes but I still find her scenes have been boring and the outside novelty has worn off long time ago. Laurent Sky has done some good scenes like the Xxlayna Marie and Kylie Rocket scenes which are highly rated. Just wish Laurent would use a brighter lighting like they used all the way back in the Dana Wolf scene. I dont know why the dark tint in the new scenes is used. Wouldnt brightness be more eye catching?
^ That's a good point. Just how many filming 'crews' do they have? If they're not expanding the number then inevitably they'll either have to extend the gap between scenes or cut corners.
Of course another site is going to further drain resources, especially with Kayden Kross's elaborate, self-indulgent style. Unless it's outside the network with its own separate subscription fee, which it doesn't appear to be.
I'd be happy to see a MILF site operating separate from the others if it meant all the 30 and 40 somethings would be hired for that site and the main sites could go back to focusing on younger talent, but I doubt that'll happen. Will all the people endlessly squawking for "More MILFs! More MILFs! More MILFs!" go away and enjoy their dedicated MILF site?
I doubt it. If anything, we'll probably get more MILFs on the main sites now as they'll have less money available to land exclusive new talent.
As for the whole "it must be making them money or they wouldn't do it" narrative about how they've changed their sites, that is completely bogus. Businesses make self-sabotaging decisions all the time. There are a number of high profile business decisions backfiring in the headlines right now, for example. Often it takes companies years to recognise and rectify missteps and sometimes the whole ship will sink without them ever acknowledging they made a bad call.
Creative industries make bad decisions even more regularly. How many flops does Hollywood go through? And in the case of VMG we know for a fact that they will make creative decisions that contradict what their subscribers want because Laurent Sky said so, in declaring that their self-indulgent shift to "cinema" porn was done progressively because they didn't want to shock the "old school" audience who are "all about hardcore". They already admitted that they aren't making decisions based on what subscriber's want, so people need to stop using that as a defence.
As for no site having enough of what you're interested in to subscribe consistently, that is because they're ALL THE SAME... Because they ALL adopt the same scattergun, everything for everyone all at once approach which is inherently incapable of consistently satisfying anyone.
This site USED TO be consistent in its content. It USED TO satisfy a particular audience. That's why I USED TO be subscribed to it regularly. Why did those of us who enjoyed the "niche" content and were regularly subscribed have to see the site sacrificed to satisfy irregular subscribers?
They had a dedicated audience. They had cultural relevance. But they rejected them to become indistinct and inconsistent. Tedious and moody. Ugly and offensive to the senses. Consistent only with the casting and direction of the most divisive site on their network (Deeper).
That's not good business, no matter how much people speculate that there is some worthwhile rationale behind it.
^ Let's be honest....there's a load of stuff to move on to but some of you want everything your own way. Perhaps set up your own 'Lansky....the good old days' thread and let the rest of us come on here for news of the present.
The "good old days" weren't all our own way. Go back and you'll find plenty of gripes. But the good comfortably outweighed the bad and the site(s) had a style and identity that people clearly appreciated.
Please tell us all of these alternatives that are out there.
^ .....and in exactly the same way the site currently has a style and identity that plenty of people currently appreciate. We come on here looking for news about scenes....not constant gripes about how rubbish the site is. Just give the rest of us a rest!
^ Nobody posts about the new content. Where are these plenty of people that appreciate the current content? There's absolutely nothing stopping them flooding these threads with praise and drowning out the "haters".
Please, tell us where all these alternatives are. If you want all critics of this site gone, as you plainly do, then you could at least point them towards these plentiful alternatives that you're adamant exist.

News of the present? Did you notice that nobody mentioned anything at all about the newest scene? Others have been completely ignored as well. But nobody is preventing anyone from posting about "news of the present".

^ Classic. "gOoGlE iT." The last refuge of someone who can't back up what they've been saying. "a load of stuff" out there to move on to and he won't namecheck a single thing.
The truth is that you know that something has been lost with the changes this site and its counterparts have undergone, but it suited your requirements so you'll sstand no criticism of it.
Your major contributions to this thread the past few years is not praise or positivity but to routinely parachute in to harangue those who voice criticism and condescend and gaslight them.
This thread has been practically dead the past couple of years but rather than fill it with the praise you claim to desire from these threads, your only contribution is to police others' criticisms. Why can't you allow others their opinions?
^ Even I'm bored with this BS......if you won't 'take the hint' from me then take it from one of the MODs who have had to intervene here regularly to police this sort of tired taking the thread off track. A few months back Flash posted the following words of wisdom...
'The content on sites will change as time goes on. Producers come and go. Directors come and go. Each producer and director will bring their own visions with them. Cinematographers will come and go. Each cinematographer will bring their own vision with them. While it is perfectly understandable that people who like the old vision may not like the new vision, it gets old fast when people keep posting eh, I liked it better when... OG or not, there isn't a guarantee that things won't change over the years and people need to make a decision about when it is time for them to move on from one company to another. AND PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE WHO LIKE WHAT VMG IS PRODUCING NOW DON'T WANT TO CONSTANTLY SEE PEOPLE WHINING ABOUT ...BUT I LIKED....BETTER'
This is my last word. DM me if you want to chat further about this.
Murf - Pitbull, in my opinion, is always a tremendous contributor to the threads he participates in. He is well informed, and always speaks with respect to all, especially wne addressing or referring to the actresses. Pitbull's comments are always respected and appreciated by a VAST VAST majority on here.
Just leave people to their own opinions, be they negative or positive!
These threads don't exist only for approved opinions or for individuals to gatekeep. They exist for forum members to express opinions, post information and read updates.
Why is it too much to ask to just let people express their thoughts and discuss with other likeminded forum members without harassment? Why are the Mods being invoked just because people post opinions you happen to disagree with?
If you really have no more desire to discuss this then just leave people alone and ignore their posts if you disagree with them!
That's the simplest solution. That's always been the simplest solution. That way there need be no arguments, nobody needs to get banned and the Mods don't have to waste their time.
MOD: Harping about anal for a star who has said she won't doesn't win you friends.

MOD: Please do not talk about pornstars, directors or producers as if they are not here. (Katsumi sums it up nicely.) We are lucky to have industry participants, and they are paying attention to your constructive criticism. Insults will get you nowhere and lead to the deactivation of your forum account.
That stain story is haunting, I will defnitely avoid the rimming scenes after hearing about this or that time a guy had a dirty asshole and they had to stop shooring.
