There was a time they had hot scene's like Milfsoup and Party of 3.
Nowadays the scenes are shot so badly.
I am totally into Milf - Girl scenes but they really ruin every stepmomscene nowadays. Totally no Chemistry and no girl/girl interaction.

^The same thing that as happened to every other porn site on the planet. Tube and Torrent sites have eaten away at whatever available capital they have to produce better porn and they now offer a much lower quality product. There is the odd site that still manages to produce above average stuff but they are so rare that they can't undo all the bad that has been done to the porn industry.

^ I think porn producers like Bangbros and Brazzers should worry more about the factors they CAN control such as being more creative instead of producing cookie-cutter bullshit.
If tube and torrent sites were killing the industry as much as you say than how are niche studios/sites still existing and actually starting up fairly frequently? You'd think they'd be the ones that would get hit the most.

I buy a lot of niche stuff.
Tubes/torrents rarely have what I like.
If they do, it's very old.

It's all too easy to blame piracy as though it's the sole cause of everything to do with the industry's downturn. I don't deny the loss of revenue and profit that can be invested into the company but losing money doesn't necessarily mean you lose creativity.
The egos of producers who seem to ignore what people want are just as much to blame.

From what I understand, Bang Bros is actually owned by one of the companies that's been making a killing off of tube sites, so money shouldn't be an issue for them.

BangBros and RealityKings are my current favorite sites right now. I got them both on sale for around $9 a month. I then added Brazzers to RealityKings when it was on sale for $50 for the addon. I also have PornPros for $9 a month but I may cancel that one. The scenes on PornPros are getting seriously weak. They stopped producing Jurassic Cock, stopped CumshotSurprise. My other fave of there's, is DeepThroatLove. One third of the chicks don't deep throat, the other third are ok and the last third is Holly MIchaels. On the first page, she's in 5 scenes, the second page 4 scenes. She's great, but can we have some variety. And there's a lot of double ups on the other chicks as well.
Also, go to PornPros.com and then BangBros.com and look at the thumbnails on the main page. The thumbnails on PornPros are very bland. It's the same white sheets on white furniture, on white background. BangBros and Realitykings have way more color in their thumbnails and they're usually on an action shot. The thumbnails on RealityKings MomBangsTeens are especially great. The color makes the shots look more vibrant and it makes me want to click on them even if I don't know the girl. I don't want to click on PornPros, unless it's a specific actress I really like. Yeah, I'm canceling it.

I gave you my theory but I notice you didn't. Why do you think the quality of the porn made by almost every porn studio jn the world has gone down in the last 5 or so years? I await your answer to comment.

I'm posing the same question I did for someone else so why do you think the quality of the porn made by almost every porn studio in the world has gone down in the last 5 or so years? The only company that I'm aware of that has opened new sites in the last few years is Kink and strangely enough they are one of the few companies that was known for going after people that steal their content. Not too mention that they also didn't release their content on dvd or anywhere else until quite recently.

^ Read my earlier post, Pat. I said it's due to lack of creativity on the mass producers of porn. Producing the same old, same old...

I've no idea what happened to them. I guess the place has been overrun by guys who don't like quality girl girl porn.

The quality of Japanese productions hasn't gone down. Wanna know why? Because they have an endless supply of creativity...something that is seriously lacking in American porn.
Creativity alone of course won't help any porn producer beat piracy but it should be more than enough to stay in business. Someone should try it.
And it doesn't equate to a bigger budget. You can do pretty nice things with little money. However everyone rather sticks to the tried and true I guess.

Mindgeek is the company that owns the tubesites. They own many brands, but not Bangbros yet.
Bangbros is in Miami. Quality could be affected by hurricanes, the smell of balls in heat and humidity, or the directors' itchy balls.

I agree that lack of creativity doesn't help the situation but it can't be the main reason why the porn industry is the way it is because if it was then porn would have died off by mid 2000. Let me explain what I mean. Have you ever heard of the following porn studios: Anabolic, Diabolic, DVSX, Evasive Angle, JM Production, Platinum X, Red Light District, Sin City, Vivid, Wildlife, Zero Tolerance and I could go on. Where are they now? have you ever seen any of their movies? In case you don't know then these studios are either dead or so close to it that there is very little difference. Most if not all of these studios had repetitious series and yet they managed to earn enough money to keep on filming those series over many years and at no time did someone say that they lacked creativity.

You have named the only porn industry that appears to not have been affected by piracy but I think it's because it is for the most part all mosaic porn and most people don't enjoy that kind of porn and in case you want to tell me that people do like mosaic porn than you'll have to point me to any other place on the planet where they make mosaic porn. Another huge reason is that since non-mosaic porn is still illegal in Japan than every Japanese porn fan is sort of stuck at buying mosaic only porn which means they have to buy stuff made in japan.
No offense but Japanese porn is not more creative today than it was a decade ago. The only thing different with todays Japanese porn compared to the stuff made a decade ago are the performers starring in those videos.
A bigger budget doesn't equal a better movie but that is true for mainstream movies. If it were than Hollywood wouldn't be lamenting the fact that this will be one of the worst summer for box office profits.

Well, I guess I'm in the minority on this thread because I still enjoy the website. The updates from Mr. Anal, Pawg, Monsters of Cock and Big Tits Round Asses are usually worth the money for me.

I agree that for really detailed scenarios as would like to see the return of big budget Ninn/Blake/90s porn myself. But it doesn't necessarily require cash, a few things off the top of my head that cost nothing or practically nothing to get away from what Bob and many including myself regard as "cookie-cutter bullshit".
Outfits
sunglasses
blindfold
ball-gag
choker
taped nipples
gloves - from fingerless leather to opera sleeves
sheer neglige
tight see through tops
boots from the shoes to thigh high fuck me boots
Positions
wall
table
chair
balcony
anything but the fucken couch!
Cumshot
Doggy pull out and cum all over her back and dripping on her ass
tits
missionary pull out and cum over her tummy and bush, loved bush covered in cum but no bush these days :(
Solution
A quick 10 mins and hundreds of possible imaginative combinations, for literally no cost.
As long as people keep cheering these naked/couch/facial scenes and buying them they will keep producing this shite!
I think the site business model is perhaps at fault, as once joined they are paid and can churn out stuff. Instead perhaps a minimal joining fee and you have to pay for scenes.. with each scene having a full preview and director/story/performer listed so over time will quickly see who needs to lift there game if their scenes are "cookie-cutter bullshit" and are not being bought??
Edit: Or perhaps instead of pay for are allocated points per month to use on scenes? Or something, some way to show financially what scenes are good and what scenes are not worth paying for?

Plus the fact that 95% of all producers/directors don't have a clue how to shoot good scenes.

Months since my last post on this thread I'm still quite satisfied with the website. I've liked all of the Bangbros scenes I've watched recently: Nothing Butt Hard Anal Sex with Chanel Preston and Mike Adriano (Mr. Anal), Redhead Smashed By Black Cock with Penny Pax and Moe Johnson (Monsters of Cock), and Big Booty White Girl Anal Pounded with Jennifer White and Mike Adriano (Mr. Anal).

I was stupid enough to buy the DVD with Ariana Marie, because I thought that had to be hot (Girls of Bangbros). It was not hot at all, it was amateurish and lame and went buy like a frog and everything and just a pain and suffer to go through so now I have to blacklist another company because I'll do anything to stay away from complete junk. This has nothing to do with Ariana Marie. This has just everything to do with waste of time, money and talent. Amateur porn to me belongs to the lost souls of this world refusing to pay for their porn. It belongs to the 90's. Not to me. So I'm gonna throw the DVD away.
In fact there's more chemistry and action in my goddamn refrigerator any given sunday than in such togther put material, and not such a waste either over there out in the cold.

The only thing that interests me nowadays is their stepmomstuff.
Unfortunately most of it is badly shot, with very bad setups and acting and above all......almost no interaction (pussylicking or kissing or asslikcing) between mom and daughter.
I still long for the days of Milfsoup.

Sanchez was really good at shooting gonzo porn, he left and the site starting getting more established stars, opposed to those who were basically amateurs or just getting started. I think HD content has put off a lot of the more regular looking girls too. Porn in general has really fell off in my opinion.

I can't answer definitively but in my experience "creativity" comes with a price. I was a working camera operator for quite a while. I know most people think shooting porn take no more than a guy with a camera but there is more to it than that. Some of us were pretty good at shooting and even took pride in our work and creativity. As there is less and less money to be made the producers pay less and less. That often means people like me move on and those will less skills and less pride in their work take over - more often than not the director or producer picks up a camera. Some studios are still making product and new ones are always jumping in hoping they have the formula that will generate a profit.

Are the folks at Bangbros currently shuffling their weekly release schedules? Pawg and Mr Anal updates have been released at fairly uneven intervals as of late.

I'm not much of a fan of the series referred to. Not even the arguments. They sat down and talked and nothing happened and they ordered food and no food appeared. Even not a single titty was shown untill you fell asleeep. And then some small dicks appeared at the end of the day and I had to throw the disc away with no steam and no sympathy. The world is pretty much better off without this company I guess. Yeah it was a waste of time and effort.

Now brown bunnies has become black on black ?
They name that brown bunnies because it was supposed to be round and brown / ebony girls getting fucked by white dudes . An interracial site !!
Thats what turn me on seeing a hot ebony ass fucked by a white dude if possible with a big dick lol .
Likewise for monster cock - A bbc with a skinny / petite white girl .
Otherwise they would not create that site . They could put these ebony babes on other sites with black dudes .
Now they have changed it mainly for financial reasons imo .
On friday we have the mike adriano sex show , now with that .
Of course u will lose members .
Then we got that sean lawless , on doggy his cock bend !! lol .
Thats the main problem they just put a sexy ass , some boobs , sexy face , great make with a lame guy who cant fuck , ok job done .
The guy will still buy our shit .

Site is a joke now - monstersofcock was always my favorite and I can't remember he last time there was an update I was excited about. The site went from shooting new, hot, young, petite girls taking huge black cocks to shooting older milf types that are rarely hot or just shooting the same girls over and over again that have been all over the place already like Riley Reid. I rarely even check in with it anymore and when I do and a few updates have piled up there still almost never ends up being anything I want to see. Awful how bad bangbros has become.

I agree, Fuck Team 5 scenes were awesome. Even if one or two of the girls weren't that great, they usually had one that was smoking and holding the scene together. The best were when all three were top of line stars... there was one with Gianna, Britney Amber, and Sara Jay in a porn shop... damn!

No, their newer stuff is available up to 1080. Depending on when this was filmed, it might have different encoding available. They do encode at a lower bitrate. More reasonable download sizes than other studios, but not quite as high quality. There are some sites out there that do 1080 at 8000 kbps and it looks fantastic, but it's about a 3gig file for one scene.
