I know this is a controversial subject and apologies if I have missed a better thread for this.
I was a member of Brazzers until last year. I rejoined in June and have been very disappointed since. I'm a Brit and like to see British women on the site but more than that, I want to see much greater variety in terms of women than they have now. Worse still, they are going for people with a lot of tattoos. Good luck (and sorry to single him out) to Small Hands but I am not going to pay anything to watch him. My point to all of this is that, through algorithms and whatever they do stats wise, Manwin have currently wrecked Brazzers and if things don't improve, I certainly won't renew.
I don't think the algorithms are picking up the older clientele (I'm in my mid 50s) who will pay for porn because they want new stuff and understand it needs to be paid for. If they are anything like me, they hate tattoos and love 30ish hugely confident and beautiful women like Angela White.
More like over to you Advocate Lulu.He/She/It[Since you mentioned algorithms and AI lol] is definitely gonna lose the plot on you ol man.
Brit women are so sexy and curvy on Brazzers generally.Really digging Georgie Lyall these days.
Wish they'd bring PSP back.Was so cool.

^^ Small Hands is an instant no-watch for me as well. I don't know why he's showing up so much lately, but he is. Overall, I'm getting quite bored by the content as well. I'm paying yearly and it's super-cheap at $70/year, but even at that low, low cost I'm thinking about letting it expire.
^Something like 20+ DP scenes in 2017 2019 - One scene.
Just a perspective on the money spent on scenes this year by ZZ ^^
The only great scenes I've enjoyed from ZZ have been with Alina Lopez, Gianna Dior and Emily Willis. Where are all the big natural tits girls at, girls like Stacy Cruz, Gabbie Carter etc should have been eaten all up by ZZ instantly.

I'm with you in the DPs part, I LOVE DP debuts on Brazzers for example like Katrina Jade, Monique Alexander, Mia Malkova, Kayla Kayden or Ivy Lebelle, I think they should do it more often bcs they're amazing about doing this and in general those are top 10 most viewed sccenes on the year....
You have new girls debuting at Brazzers every single month tbh but it's hard to get all girls when you have 150 new stars debuting in porn for the last 5/6 months something... Stacy was already in other 2 Mindgeek sites, not Brazzers right but they shoted her... And they had Autumn Falls if you're talking about big natural tits and she WAS AMAZING in her Brazzers scenes... It's maybe one of the few sites that have 2 new scenes out each day and tbh not everything could be just about newbies bcs non of them are in the top 10 of Brazzers, you have Madison Ivy, Monique Alexander, Rachel Starr, Ava Addams, Nicole Aniston, Lisa Ann there and that's what ZZ fans want to see the most too.
I just wish they would go back to the old frame rate/ bit rate they used to use. They went from 29.97 to 24 frames per second and cut the bit rate in half. All this while other sites have started offering 4k at 60 frames. It feels like a cynical admission from them that the content is going to be primarily streamed on a tube site and so why not cut the file size and save bandwidth? This is not a customer-first approach if you ask me and I don't want to give money to a company that doesn't seem to care that much about these things.

I wonder how a sane person can even watch their clips
Artificial light + mediocre closeup camera + horrible editing + heavy filters = any woman looks like a rubber doll

^^ He does make a point though: Madison Ivy, Monique Alexander, Rachel Starr, Ava Addams, Nicole Aniston, Lisa Ann.... all but one have very plastic appearances, it's a total turnoff for a lot of people.
And no matter how popular a star, or stars in this case are, seeing them rinse and repeat constantly gets really old, really quick. It reminds me a LOT of the recent discussion in the LP thread - how many more scenes do we need to see from >insert actress here< before we get some new faces?
Nowadays MIC is rare and ffm scenes have become rare.
Madison Ivy used to be nasty and hot... now she is clean en just a formula

Isn't Brazzers supported by the revenue generated by all those third party tube sites or am I thinking of a different site?

It was a legit question, you guys know more about the innerworkings of the network sites, tube sites, etc... than I do and I didn't want to make a point based on a bad assumption.
I love to see UK girls on Brazzers too but they seem to only have one guy in the UK for them to shoot with. Every scene is with Danny D and, number one, I think his scenes are poor as they are all about him and not how to make the girl look good. Number two is that he is huge so girls can't do much with him. Not many probably want to be fucked too hard or do anal and most can't really deepthroat him so bj is fairly dull. Would love to see these girls with a more manageable dick.
Aside from the UK thing, the storylines have zero thought put into them so all the scenes kind of melt into one. Nicolette Shea is hot af but all her scenes are exactly the same so it gets boring after a while.
They kind of don't follow through with things either. They'll go rough at times but not too rough. They'll shoot family roleplay stuff but make sure no one actually mentions it once the sex starts so it's kind of pointless doing it.

^Yeah, Danny D. scenes are mostly kind of dull. Like you said, he's too big for most girls but then when you add the "comedy porn" aspect, his scenes become borderline unwatchable.

Brazzers is a joke now. Keiran is doing half the scenes and the rest of the male talents is not varied enough
I must say the last Rachel Starr scene was really good. She looked like she was actually into the sex, like the way she was years back. I was surprised to be honest and very pleasantly so. It's like she had a boyfriend who wouldn't allow her to cum on camera before this, she seems to be back to her old self now though?

The thing about Brazzers is why most people search for porn, voluptuous blondes, massive fake tits, everything fake and over the top like what Playboy used to be.
I am thankful for them is that they still hire girls above 30 aka closer to my age.
What I do not like is the way Keiran have sex, I've read in a forum (and agree) that some of his scenes are like rape than 2 people having sex.
^I can't find any into on what the trial cost gets you but I seriously doubt that 2$ will get you much more than what 1$ used to get you...IE absolutely nothing. You are better off saving your money until you have enough to pay the special join price of 15$ and get full access because you will regret wasting your 2$.

^^Those very short memberships typically allow streaming but no downloads. Just make sure you read the fine print if downloading is what you're after. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if, for new members, that downloads were not included in a basic membership of any kind, requiring you instead to buy some sort of premium membership. This is what happened to me when I tried to buy a one-time upgrade to add access to babes.com. The basic cost was around $40-$60 to essentially tack on Babes to my Brazzers membership. But then once I paid the money, I found that it didn't include downloads. If I wanted downloads, there was an additional monthly cost. So I complained and got a refund. To their credit, the customer service on that was quite good - no hassle at all.
^I checked to see if Brazzer detailed what the preview membership included and I didn't see anything so he may have to actually buy it to find out and I will repeat what I already wrote. If he buys a 2$ membership then he will regret wasting his 2$.

I wish they would bring back the forums.
Purely cause I suggested like 60 scenes and they accidentally made one.
I read all the fine print and it seems intentionally unclear. I'm not going to spend $2 just to answer the question. I'm not going to spend $15-30 for just 1 scene.

^iDealgasm almost always has a Brazzers deal for $9.95. It's not much better but it's something.
I was clicking through some sites the other day, looking at various Black Friday deals, and, as I said above, it looks like the default for all MindGeek sites now is to NOT offer downloads as part of the basic membership. It isn't spelled out specifically, but I think what will happen is that once you join, you'll get a pop-up offering you some sort of higher level membership for an additional monthly fee, and that's how you get downloads.
In a way, this is good, because it allows the rest of the industry to differentiate themselves from the MindGeek monster.
^^ Yep that's exactly what happened to me. Signed up for one of the holiday specials deals and there was absolutely no mention of streaming only like you get on pretty much every site I've signed up for. The first time I went to download a scene you get a pop-up saying I need an extra membership costing $14.99 just to download. That's poor. Needless to say I'm just letting the month run out and won't renew. Shame.

^Yeah, I'm not sure how long it's been going on, but probably a year or two would be my guess. I do wonder if it will hurt them. It might not if the majority of users are streaming-only. I'm into downloading, but honestly I have no idea what most people do.
^ I like to download and save the best scenes. I have no problem with stream only sites as long as its clear when you sign up. Doing it like Brazzers is doing it is just underhand.
Brazzers also have a history of removing scenes and never re-adding them back. I'm sure majority of the older scenes are also unwatchable unless you are on a mobile device.
The whole pornportal platform with Reality Kings, Brazzers, Twistys etc is pretty awful anyway. Far too much content and a complete lack of quality in both videos and image sets. I've not checked out Brazzers in recent months but previously they'd have image sets containing over 300 pictures (extremely pointless), and all ridiculously compressed at bog standard small size.
In the day and age of 4K, those sets need to be much larger, and ideally videos should be at HQ 1080, or go for the middle ground between 1080 and 4K, which is 1440p.
Oh boy, don't even mention that scene. I have the trailer and watch it occasionally and get so sad because it has probably been destroyed and never will be released. At least we got one LP scene with them, too bad it's partly ruined with that creepy cream stuff...
Brazzers now is releasing solo scenes and collections of old scenes, I understand the difficulties caused by the covid but these contents are not worth a subscription
