Since all criticism of VMG and their websites has been forbidden in the sites' individual threads I figured this forum needs a refuge for those who are unhappy with the quality of product VMG are producing and the direction their sites/network are headed in.

I could write for pages on how the quality has declined over the past 3 years in particular, so in order to avoid an OP as long as a book here are a few bullet points of obvious/developing flaws for discussion:

- the female casting.
- the direction.
- the lighting.
- the move to producing cinema porn (mimicking Deeper) and destroying the classic aesthetic.
- the pretentious plots.
- the reduction in group scenes which were an intrinsic part and USP of the classic sites.
- the failure to utilize available talent effectively.
- the reduction from a 5-day to 7-day release schedule.
- the new sites and how they've thinned available resources.

Opinions may differ on exactly where the decline began and how steep but I think it's generally agreed that 2014-2016 is classic VMG with Blacked, Tushy and Vixen. Things began to deviate from the formula with the launch of BlackedRaw and TushyRaw in 2017 & 2018. And with the introduction of the Euro content in 2018. The most drastic decline appeared to occur from 2020 with the permanent reduction in scenes, changes in the female casting and visual aesthetic, and an eventual admission from Laurent Sky in 2021 with the launch of Slayed that they had been altering the type of content they were producing contrary to the expectations of subscribers.

There's been plenty of dissent expressed about the current state of the VMG network. Such criticisms, opinions, updates and information are welcome here.

-----------------------------------------------

Please note: This is not a thread for VMG fanboys to argue how much they prefer the sites now or deny all the changes they've undergone. The individual VMG site threads are the appropriate safe space for endless praise. The transformation and decline of these formerly unique and groundbreaking sites is not up for debate in this thread. The purpose of this thread is as a space for people to discuss that decline. If you regularly post positively in the individual threads, that's probably the best place for you. Please respect the purpose of this thread and do not derail it with gaslighting efforts to convince contributors that nothing has changed or that the sites are better now.

Let me start the thread off by asking people's opinions of the launch of Milfy.com and its impact on the network.

I suspect that the launch of another new site is the explanation for why they have released fewer group scenes across the network so far this year compared to last year, which was already down on previous years. Will this mean a permanent reduction in the number of group scenes, which were a fundamental part of the original sites' USP for years? I expect so.

How long have they been sitting on that Amber Moore / Cory Chase threesome waiting for the launch of Milfy while their existing subscribers got fed scraps?

The scenes appear to have the same pretentious, Deeper direction that has permeated the entire network the past few years. But, oh look, they found the light switch!

We've seen Blacked, Tushy and Vixen all swamped in darkness to resemble Deeper. Their classic aesthetic dumped in the trash for no reason. Hundreds of scenes in shadow and ugly light. Yet now they launch a brand new site with the reverse aesthetic, more akin to classic VMG, proving that they never needed to change.

And I see that like Deeper, Milfy appears to be another all-American roster. So all of the classic sites that at their peak were producing 70-odd scenes per year featuring porn's finest young American starlets have to be 50% European content now, whereas the Kayden Kross sites are still allowed to produce only American content. Doesn't seem fair to me somehow.

MOD: everyone knows the issues. We don't need a thread devoted to criticizing VMG. Vote with your wallet.
