What are anyone's terms? I doubt Mindi would turn down repeated offers to shoot, though, especially if they paired her with Mia Simone.

"The studio that got its mojo by pairing older women with younger women for 10+ years before losing its mojo after it stopped doing that is not going to get its mojo back by going back to the thing that got its mojo in the first place." - LezTrib

BTW, please watch the interview with Charlie Forde. SHe talks about how much the industry has changed from a legal perspective and what's actually happening right now.
The link was shared in the respective Star Pool thread.
@LezTrib, you should definitely watch it!

I understand there are issues with finances, losses, piracy, and everything else, but even with all of that, the direction cannot be this poor, I guess.

We were all here celebrating B. Skow's farewell with Lesbian Seduction 83 😂
Then I suddenly got an email from Adult Empire saying, "Where are you going, mate?" 😭
And here it is: Lesbian Ghost Stories Vol. 9
I looked at the screenshots and thought, "Wait. this doesn't look like a B. Skow movie. Who the hell is this director then?!" 😂
Apparently, B. Skow is still haunting us. literally. 👻

After watching the trailer, I'm damn sure this wasn't directed by B. Skow. 😂
The color grading is darker, the video duration has been shortened.

I think I posted this a while ago in this thread, but another big problem with GFF since it changed leadership was the endless one-off casting of all these nobodies. Fanboys at the time argued that we'll never know if a performer is good unless we bring in new girls, yet hardly any of them ever got brought back. Kinda defeats the purpose, huh?

Hard to believe that less than a decade ago we'd get Lena Paul, Karlee Grey, Scarlett Sage, etc. all in the same movie.

They are just surviving on the barest of margins now, and slowly but surely, I feel they may eventually shut down completely over the next few years.

I just mentioned Kenna James with Dani Daniels in the other thread. Look at what Kenna James was doing in that scene. She was a newcomer there too, because before that, she had only shot a scene with Lena Nicole for GFF. And the rest is history. Look at how much Kenna James has been loved in the industry across all kinds of scenes she has done since then.

Performers will always retire from the mainstream eventually. What matters is whether directors coming from within the industry understand the previous benchmarks and know how to execute scenes at that level.
After Nica Noelle, Ricky Greenwood did wonders for Sweetheart Video. Then there was Dan Vespoli's direction for some time, and now it's Mike Quasar.

The performers are not the issue. It's the directors and their execution-or rather, their inability to make scenes feel believable.
Even in Hollywood action movies, where you know the scenes are completely staged and unrealistic, good direction can still make them look believable. But here, nothing seems to look convincing or even good to the eye.

But their real crime is in not recognizing those few performers who don't look weird/awkward working with other women and leaning into those precious talents, using them consistently and strategically. Take this new GFF release. That Avery Wilds person looks like a performer I'd tune in for, visually. So what's the problem? Well, instead of pairing her with a hot 29-year-old WLW and/or good-acting performer who has been licking women up and down for the past 6-7 years of her life, the company has paired her with an extremely probably not into chicks and probably like 24 year old cutesy-style performer who probably doesn't even know what she likes sexually and definitely does a fake-ass baby voice constantly. The shoot was only ever going to be very stilted, posed, uncomfortable-looking nonsense. That's the failure of the producer. Neither of these two women is going to know what to do with a female, interested in/curious about women or not. I'm not even asking for some retarded younger/older meme script or whatever...just call up a performer who already knows how to finger a woman properly and can guide a shoot to make it look fluid....mainly by being the primary, sensual and physical giver.

No one's watching and learning on the job from an experienced, confident, hyper-sexual GG performer these days. It's not possible to perpetuate solid GG content this way.

By all of this I mean - and I think this is the most succinct critique of the styling and coaching and directing and producing and performing and acting that I can give - is that it all looks very unserious. Videos that look like two women having fluid, flowing, passes-the-eye-test sex are about 1 in every 100 right now. 99% unserious.

Granted, to be fair to the porn producers, it's probably hard (expensive) to coax the most savvy performers away from simply living off their creator platforms to come shoot a video they don't own.

On a totallty diffeerent topic though, holy smokes, Aria Sloane has an attractive figure.

It's a good thing either the NEW director is actually posting the updates on X OR THE PERFORMER HERSELF. No need to have a social media manager now-it's best to do some cost-cutting!
Mind you, Demi Hawks was the best performer in Lesbian Ghost Stories 9, alongside Chloe Foxxe, in my opinion.

The status remains the same, and the series volume continues though my money will always be spent watching Octavia Red😍

The slow death of the industry is something we're watching in real time. Fans, brace yourselves. because after GTA 6 releases, I'm genuinely scared to see what happens. 😂

I just hope there comes a site with a niche focused on recording women actually do it with each other, rather than just pose and say retarded memes over and over and over again.

I am glad to see the studio sites dying, for the most part, not that the OF stuff is better.

There is an opportunity for a GG site that can keep costs low while showing two women having sex...which, again, is different from posing, fake-wailing, and over-the-top derp faces.

Wipe this low-quality shit out and rebuild, with non-abusive camera people and chicks who aren't afraid of pussy. Glory be to Sappho herself if this cartoon era is nearly dead.

After all these years, the industry still seems unable to figure out what casual viewers actually want to **buy or watch**.

But okay, keep going just for the loyal 5,000-10,000 subscribers on AdultTime who will pay for a one-year subscription. You're not really gaining much from that either, because as inflation rises, those subscribers have already paid you once.
Meanwhile, a new subscriber might watch one feature movie like "Straight Girls" during the trial period and then never come back because the next release is once again another fantasy massage or stepdaughter-themed movie.

Wow. **What incredible growth for an industry that apparently has everything figured out.**

Am I right?

Is the adult industry really recession-proof?

Just read the comments on Kenna James' thread mentioned by Morbidthoughts, who photographed various performers at Pool Crush parties. He also mentioned that even content creators are struggling and aren't earning as much money as before.

Second, Cami mentioned in this article that there are around 922 performers working in the industry, along with countless people working behind the scenes. You can't expect everyone to remain happy, especially when it comes to producing content like GG or performing in it when it is watched by only a small percentage of the total audience-mostly the 15% who are specifically interested in or addicted to adult GG content, for heaven's sake.

Nobody talks about solving age verification. Nobody talks banning free porn adult sites. Nobody talks about regulations forced on the industries. Every day, there are new challenges facing the adult industry.

Go and check the reports about strip clubs in the United States-they are also going through extremely difficult times.

What more do you want? If you can't understand the basic issues behind the downfall, it isn't simply because of the content. The bigger problem is the macroeconomic environment surrounding the industry.
