This is not a poll. It is a discussion.

Seems some are puting out longer trailers, others are cutting them short. Why? A marketing reason? Bandwidth/wait time?

This is indeed a discussion. But it's about porn, so I am going to use my handy rubber spatula to flip it over to the Porn Pool.

Bandwidth and server space have to be considered for sure. Another aspect is that it's not that easy to cut a good trailer. For every Jules Jordan there are a dozen Rocco's who submit trailers that don't do anything to give a flavor of their production. Sorry to only use Evil Angel as examples but those two represent the extremes to me.

For example, one reputable company used to offer lengthy trailers. The quality was very good, and they didn't take much time to load. Without reading reviews, I always knew what I was getting by watching the trailers alone. But I've noticed in recent months their preview videos are no more than a few seconds long.

On the other hand I notice PXP and others increasing the play time of their trailers. Good thing, because otherwise I wouldn't even bother with them.

I understand the technicals and everything that's involved. I'm just wondering why a competitive company would only now choose to provide substandard trailers, when at one time they were very worthwhile.

It takes time to edit the trailer, and if a company is crushed for time to begin with, a trailer might be the thing they don't take time for. I mean, you HAVE to shoot and edit the movie and make a boxcover, but do you HAVE to make a trailer? No, but it's a nice bonus.

Other companies or directors may just not like trailers for some reason or other.
