Pictures in membersites I tried to search for a thread and couldn't find one. So I decided to go ahead and make this one. Have any of you noticed a trend in sites slimming down their picturesets lately? I have and quite frankly it is very off putting to me. So much infact that I might stop some subscriptions I have, eventhough I been a loyal member for them but I might just cancel those because of this kind bs. Forexample if a site X had 400 pics like two years ago, they have now 90-150. And one site which name I won't mention, actually went from 150 photos to 25 pictures.. I think sites shouldn't do this kinda practices because it is only negative press for them. It is 2018 and in my humble opinion firm or whatever, company/product should strive to improve and expand on their services, not to slim 'em down over the years and make loyal members dissatisfied.  | |

A lot of porn sites have gone out of business since the financial crisis of 2008. Some sites going out of business is normal, but the trend accelerated due to the financial crisis, and the rise of tube sites, which hurt the finances of pay porn sites. The thinking of many people seems to be: why pay for porn when you can get it for free? They don't realize or care that porn sites need paying members to stay in business if they are going to produce porn. I assume the reason some porn sites are reducing the number of photos in a photo set, or reducing the update rate of new videos, is because of financial reasons. It takes money to run a porn site. If the money goes down, the site either goes out of business, or reduces the amount of new content. That's my take. I don't think the porn industry has ever recovered from the financial crisis of 2008, and the competition of tube sites. Actually, it's not the same situation, but take a look at the decline of newspapers and magazines. They have taken a massive hit in revenues, and many newspapers are either losing money or going out of business. Edited on Jun 06, 2018, 08:39am | |

Because it is 2018. They don't put out many cassette tapes these days either. Images and soon 2D videos are going to be a low priority. VR is very soon going to be the primary way most people consume porn because of how superior it is. The older formats won't completely vanish, but most people won't want to bother with an inferior medium. Edited on Jun 07, 2018, 07:47pm | |

Thanks all for your great relpies.
That is a good thing to point out. I have seen this myself aswell. Some people actually just are so naive that when they hear the word porn, that it automatically equals free. And to that I always like to compare okay, well milk is also free if you just go in to the store, grab one into your pocket and walk outdoors but obviously that still does not mean that you should or are allowed to do so, no. Someone went and paid for that milkpackage and milking to get done. Same thing is that someone went and got these porn actors together and paid them to perform certain roles under certain timelimit.
Unfortunately that screencap thing never seems to really work though, regardless of we nowadays having 4K resolutions and even higher. Whenever a scene picset consists of caps, I immediately notice that and it's just never the same because Still screencap images are never the main goal of a scene/video and that is why to me atleast, actual with-care shot photography will always be the better of the two. Scrncps never have proper lighting in them, angles are all weird and so.
That is definitely true that most go for the Play button instantly and I agree that you don't have to really shoot 1k+ amount of photos. I seem to very content with couple hundred pics as long as there is alot of varied solo poses in it.
I'm not too demanding when it comes to res of pics. Let's just say I'm good to go pretty much always unless the res something like from the early 90's or so.
VHS literally is a product that breaks very easily, cannot support that high quality video nor audio. Digital pics again can be as sharp as crystal so theyre not even in the same boat and "out dated" nearly as much as Betas, VHS tapes, or audio casettes. I really don't agree with VR being superrior, infact I think it is quite very overrated just because it's the new hot thing currently still. You have to put on big clumsy glasses, VR videofiles take massive amount of diskspace (1file up to 4gb-10gb) and last but certainly not least, it's very expensive device. Pictures provide that same 4k res in alot smaller capacity of filesize and thus you can pack alot more of those in a set. Pics go along with you if needed, nicely in your mobile device or even a smaller size portable USB. Meanwhile you can't watch VR in just any place and neither can you necessarily fit VR files into smaller USB sticks atleast more than one file. The way I see it, is that there are currently still way too many downsides for VR to be the primary thing replacing 2D pics and 2D video completely. Edited on Jun 10, 2018, 11:14am | |||||

You don't own a VR device do you?  There's no way in hell you can compare a picture to a VR video. You think you know what tits look like from a picture? I PROMISE you, you don't know how much you are missing until you've seen them in VR invading your personal space. You think your 4K 2D images show you want a pussy looks like? Yeah, try watching closeups in VR and then say that. The Oculus Go is a great VR device, is totally mobile, and costs $199. I don't consider that particularly expensive, maybe you do. And basically every phone on the planet will be a capable VR device in a few years as well. VR is no more a fad than TV was. You just don't know what you are talking about if you haven't tried it. I'm sure it was hard to describe what movies were like to people who had never seen a motion picture before. I never said VR would completely replace 2D images or videos. TV didn't remove all traces of radio. But people don't consume Game of Thrones on the radio these days like they might have decades ago. And for good reason. I strongly encourage you to try it. It's the best $199 you can spend. You can just return it if you think it's a fad, but you won't Edited on Jun 10, 2018, 05:30pm | |

Have to agree about the mount pictures on some sites. Another complaint is I recently joined a site and their photos weren't of the scene, but the women posing before the scene. Not bad posing, but not the scene I wanted to download. I have made the choice of going with the videos. Videos have gone up in size and quality and I download them so I can take screenshots that I want. Thus I get both video and pretty good photos. The only complaint I have now is the size of the download compared to photos and how long it takes.  I just have to remember how many Penthouse and Hustlers I had to buy to get the number of picture sets I have been getting for a one month's subscription to a website. I would have to buy hundreds of magazines to equal what I download since entering the internet. It looks like I will have to buy another external drive soon. I'm eating away at it's storage capacity with the videos I'm downloading. So the short version is I am now a video person. Never thought I'd say that.

I think that companies assume that photos are unimportant or at least far less important to most of their members. In reality, many people who I'd consider as being seriously into porn quite enjoy collecting photos. And I think that often it gives you a better way to savor the performers' bodies when there are solo photos and linger over the hottest parts of the action when those shots are included, too. But I guess they market to the masses, though, I'd think that there'd be money in giving the porn connoisseurs more of what they want. | |

I will use the same thread to ask you guys, could you recommend me porn sites with HQ pictures? I didn't have luck yet. I tried Hot Legs and Feet\DDF\Reality Kings\FTV\Zishy\passport\Teen Mega World\Brazzers\dogfart\. The only one with HQ was FTV but only for content after 2012. I don't look for art photos (Metart) My understanding for HQ pics is over ~3MB Thank you in advance! | |
