from rearadmiral:
You've written an interesting review of an interesting site. I've been a member here a few times myself and I share most of your opinions on the site. I haven't joined in a while mostly because the speculum use and vaginal fisting really aren't my thing.
I didn't know that they were affiliated with Met-Art these days. Thanks for pointing that out.

"I just wrote a detailed review about this site but my login to PU timed out and it was lost when I submitted. Trying again....not as detailed as the first time, sorry."
I NORMALLY WRITE MY REVIEWS IN A NOTEPAD OR WORDPAD FILE, AND PASTE THEM INTO THE PU FORM.
THAT SAVES ME FROM RE-WRITING MY REVIEWS, IF THE PU LINK TIMES OUT.
OF COURSE, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THAT METHOD.
YOU CAN GO OVER THE LIMIT FOR NUMBER OF CHARACTERS OR LINES ALLOWED, AND THEN HAVE TO EDIT YOUR REVIEW.
BUT IT'S FAR BETTER TO WRITE THE REVIEW ON A TEXT DOCUMENT, THAN HAVING TO RE-WRITE IT BECAUSE THE REVIEW GETS LOST IN COMPUTER NETHERWORLD.

Yes I have - despite the content looking very promising, don't join the site until they fix their support email issues. Here's my full experience:
I joined baebz.com on March 5 on a 1 day trial membership and after deciding to cancel as there wasn't enough content for me at this time, I was offered a discounted rate of $14.95 for the rest of the month. I approved this discounted rate and saw the charge on my account but at this time, I still do not have full membership access.
I've exchanged emails FIVE TIMES with both Epoch ((payment processor) and cvv@cvvhelp.net (the supposed support email). While Epoch has been very responsive, cvv@cvvhelp.net has emailed me stating they DO NOT offer any support service to Baeb... this is DESPITE the fact that cvv@cvvhelp.net is listed as their support email AND in their Terms of Use section. Either its a cvv@cvvhelp.net being completely ignorant of their support duties or Baeb has the wrong support email - both are inexcusable, imo.
I'm waiting to hear back from Epoch to see if they can resolve it in the next day - otherwise, I'll be contacting my payment account to get a full refund. $14.95 isn't that huge of a deal anymore - it's this whole process.
Anyway, anything more than $14.95 aint' worth joining as they don't have enough content just yet - and until they fix their support issues, I absolutely don't recommend joining.

Don't get me wrong. I wasn't implying that cloud based companies have any rights to your data so much as they may simply access it for their own purposes and there is then very little you can do. Yes, if you find that they stole your data you can sue them but unless you are filthy rich, a huge corporation or some hot shot lawyer will take your case pro-bono than chances are you are screwed. In fact suing them will probably not mean that you aren't screwed anyway.
The best example was all those celebrities who had their personal data stolen and then posted to the net. Jennifer Lawrence can sue her cloud provider but it won't stop the millions of people who now have her naked pics and videos from looking at them or uploading them to the net over and over again.

Yes, so far all content is uncensored. That was one of the main reasons I joined this site. Very smooth and nice navigation too. Great download speeds too.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, EARLY JANUARY, THERE WERE SERVER PROBLEMS AT DIESEL.
DOWNLOADING A 720p FILE WOULD TAKE HOURS, INSTEAD OF A FEW MINUTES.
I ALSO HAD TIMES WHEN I COULDN'T LOG IN TO THE NETWORK.
I GOT THE ERROR MESSAGE:
503 Service Temporarily Unavailable
I POSTED A COMMENT ABOUT THIS AT PU.
THE SERVER PROBLEMS WERE FIXED WITHIN A FEW DAYS.
HOWEVER, ANOTHER PU MEMBER SENT ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE THAT HE WAS HAVING VERY SLOW DOWNLOAD SPEEDS ABOUT A MONTH LATER AT DIESEL, COMPARED TO OTHER PAYSITES HE WAS USING.
DIESEL CUSTOMER SERVICE SEEMS HIT OR MISS.
WHEN I SENT AN EMAIL TO DIESEL CUSTOMER SERVICE STATING I WAS HAVING SLOW DOWNLOAD SPEEDS AND TROUBLE LOGGING IN, I GOT A REPLY A FEW DAYS LATER THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED. NO OTHER EXPLANATION OR APOLOGY.
LATER, I HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH DIESEL, SENT THEM AN EMAIL TO CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND NEVER GOT A REPLY.
NORMALLY, I'M HAPPY WITH THE SERVERS AT DIESEL. BUT THEY CAN HAVE PROBLEMS, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.

LIKE I SAID IN MY REPLY, YOU CERTAINLY DESERVE THE TRUST BADGE,
FOR YOUR MANY REVIEWS AND COMMENTS.
PU MEMBERS DON'T GIVE A TRUST VOTE LIKE IN EARLIER DAYS.
BECAUSE MANY NEWBIES DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT CAN BE GIVEN.
AND THERE'S NOT MUCH PRACTICAL REASON TO GIVE OR RECEIVE A TRUST VOTE TODAY.
BUT LIKE I WROTE, MAYBE AMANDA AND THE PU STAFF CAN GIVE YOU SOME VOTES.
IF YOU HAVE NO OBJECTION, I CAN START A THREAD ASKING FOR PU MEMBERS TO START GIVING MORE TRUST VOTES.
AND MENTION YOUR NAME IN PASSING AS ONE OF THE MEMBERS WHO DESERVE THEM.
(IF YOU DON'T THINK IT'S TOO TACKY. OR FAN-BOYISH.)
(I'M NOT GAY, BUT I DON'T SEE WHY PU MEMBERS CAN'T GET A BADGE-IF THEY WANT ONE.)
LOL

NICE REVIEW.
I GAVE YOU A POSITIVE TRUST VOTE ON 05-13-12, SOON AFTER YOU JOINED PU.
I WROTE: "2 nice reviews. Honest opinions. Good start."
I'M NOT SURE WHY YOU ARE ASKING FOR POSITIVE TRUST VOTES IN THIS REVIEW.
GETTING A BADGE DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER MUCH FOR TODAY'S PU.
OF COURSE, IF THEY START MAILING OUT THE BADGES FOR REAL, MAYBE WE COULD START WEARING THE BADGES IN A PORN PARADE?
BUT MAYBE AMANDA AND SOME OF THE OTHER PU STAFF COULD GIVE YOU POSITIVE TRUST VOTES: YOU'VE CERTAINLY EARNED THEM WITH YOUR REVIEWS AND OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SITE.

Good review Skippy and it reflects many of the same issues that caused me to walk away from the original 21 Sextury several years ago. They were guilty of false promos back when they decided to split off 21Sextreme after guaranteeing then current subscribers would be grandfathered no change in our membership (we were not).
Quality of product was fine but their business practices totally suck.

Yeah, it's funny - as big a fan of the site as I am, I'm utterly uninterested in a lot of their "special" elements like the vag spreader, the hoop thing, etc. Perhaps Alex gets a lot of emails from fans craving that stuff, or perhaps they are his own fetish. I dunno. I just like the incredibly cute girls they book and how great they make them look.

from PinkPanther:
This site is among my very favorite sites. Their tastes in models, petite, small breasted, shaved is very appealing to me and I've had very few periods in the last several years that I was NOT a member of this site.
There's not much random about which models appear on ALS Scan and which models appear on ALS Angels. It's not a matter of the models being better looking. For my tastes, most of the better looking models are on ALS Scan, which is why I've been a fairly consistent member her and only an occasional member of ALS Angels.
If a model has bigger breasts, is curvier, or taller, or more mature looking, she'll be on ALS Angels. There have been a few models where you could flip a coin as to which site they should post to, Sandy Waldron or Jessyka Swan, for instance, but for the most part, it's pretty clear which site a model will wind up.
In terms of the remastered sets, for me, they're an extra rather than taking anything away or making me feel deceived. There's so much new content being posted and such deep archives that I never feel that an update is being wasted by being used for a remastered set.
In terms of the lack of polishing of photos, this isn't a warts-and-all site, as ATK's sets often are. Alex has sometimes posted before-and-after pics and it's pretty clear that there is significant prettifying done to the photos posted here - not Twisty's level, thank heaven, but enough to show off the models to their best, which I appreciate.
Anyway, just some comments by someone that is a big fan of this site. Good review, overall.

I believe its for non subscribers to actually buy movies separately, I remember they used to give credits for subscribers and after your subscription ran out you could buy a video with your credits so yeah I think its that you are seeing, you should still be able to download it free if you are a subscriber.

I DON'T HAVE A CURRENT SUB TO 21SEXTURY.
I DON'T REMEMBER READING ON ANY REVIEW THAT 21SEXTURY HAD DRM.
BUT I HAVE READ THAT DRM CAN BE DISABLED, BY HACKERS OR TECH GUYS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE.
THE ONLY THINK I CAN THINK OF IS THAT SOME SITES OFFERED AN OPTION TO RETURN TO THE SITE, AFTER YOUR SUBSCRIPTION HAS EXPIRED, AND VIEW SOME OF THE CONTENT YOU HAD BOUGHT (THAT WAS NOT DOWNLOADED ONTO YOUR PC).
MAYBE THAT'S WHAT THIS OFFER IS FOR.
I SUGGEST SENDING SEPARATE EMAILS TO CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND TECH SUPPORT, ASKING WHAT THE "BUY IT FOR A LIFETIME" OPTION MEANS.
THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU THE CLEAREST ANSWER.
HOPEFULLY, ONE OR BOTH SERVICES WILL RESPOND QUICKLY ENOUGH TO END YOUR FRUSTRATION.
AND HOPEFULLY, YOU WILL POST THEIR RESPONSE ON THIS COMMENT, TO BENEFIT THE REST OF US PU MEMBERS.

from ALS Eric:
Hi, this is Eric from ALS.
Thank you for your in-depth review, Skippy.
We appreciate the kind words and respect that not all our content suits you, but there are a few points we would like to clarify for other PU readers:
ALSScan updates daily, alternating new photosets and videos.
Only 1 out of 14 daily updates is a "re-post" of older material, and clearly marked "Remastered".
"Remastered" photosets include all new, never-before-released pictures (usually 100+ per set) at higher quality.
We typically release a behind-the-scenes / photoshoot video once a week, so the action videos outweigh BTS videos by about 7 to 1 in a normal month.
We also occasionally release "bonus" BTS and interview videos, in addition to that day's regular new release.
We never re-post videos in lieu of a new update. Only videos that were lost or need upgraded encodes get re-posted, generally at a member's request, and backdated, so they would not appear as new updates.
Our content goes back to 1996, although yes pre-2004 is not as well organized and some of our models from the pre-digital era are currently unavailable unless you contact the MetArt Network support team for special assistance finding a particular model's content.
Our last trip to the Caribbean was 2011, and when we post an update from these trips, or any model shot in years past, it is still New content that has never been released, not a "re-post". Sometimes a new scene was shot years prior, but never released until we got requests from members asking for more from their favorite model or shoot. Perhaps this has been mistaken for "re-posting".
We started shooting boy-girl in 2012, and do release it sparingly. Most members seem to prefer we update boy-girl content no more than once a month or so.
The Director's Blog does discuss both ALSScan.com and ALSAngels.com news, but which site a model appears on is determined by their body-type and how mature they look.
Hope this helps clear up any misconceptions, and thanks for visiting ALS!

Comcast has an internal metering system that you can run your box on to see what speeds you are running for both uploads and downloads. In addition, there is also a feature that shows how much usage you have used for the month. It runs from the 1st to the last day of the month and is cumulative. My plan has 1024gb for Internet usage per month.

I also have Comcrap. I was wondering if you knew for sure that they slow download speeds or are just guessing? I've also seen the same issue with slowing download speeds and just thought it was more on the websites end as opposed to the middleman.

You wrote a very thorough and balanced review.
I was one of the PU members who scored ALS much higher, but I did that in 2012 and in 2012 I thought it deserved the 97 I gave it. I was most recently a member there in 2015 and while I will certainly join again I think I'd probably score it closer to where you did.
I like their playful nature but I'm not a big fan of the near-gynecological obsession with insertions. They certainly continue to hire models with the look and body-type that I prefer.
What I miss most about the first couple of times that I joined was that they stopped doing their annual Caribbean trip (likely too costly) and stopped with their European public nudity (maybe too risky?).
Thanks for posting your balanced review. I'm sure many readers will find it helpful.

Thanks for the heads up on Twisty's. I was thinking of joining and even went so far as to read their Terms and Conditions a second time and saw nothing about downloading for an additional fee. One thing I have found is that one can never do enough research about some of these pay for play websites.

SKIPPY,
THANKS FOR THE EMAIL UPDATE.
I'M GLAD THE LINK WORKED.
I GOT THE OFFER IN 2013, HAVE BEEN A MEMBER SINCE THEN OF THAT SITE.
I'VE NEVER HAD ANY BILLING PROBLEMS.
THE PAYMENT PROCESSOR THAT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE OFFER WAS ROCKETGATE.COM.
YOU CAN TURN OFF THE PU INTERNAL EMAIL SYSTEM.
WHICH SEEMS TO BE BUGGY.
BOTH EMAILS I SENT TO YOU USING THE SYSTEM WERE REJECTED.

I TRIED A SECOND TIME TO SEND YOU AN EMAIL USING THE PU INTERNAL EMAIL SYSTEM.
AND I GET ANOTHER ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE EMAIL FAILED/WAS REJECTED.
THEN I SENT AN EMAIL DIRECTLY, FROM YAHOO EMAIL.
THAT EMAIL APPARENTLY WENT THROUGH.
I'M NOT SURE WHY THE PREVIOUS EMAILS WERE REJECTED.
MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD A URL AT THE TOP OF THE MESSAGE BODY.
ANYWAY, I ASSUME YOU DID GET MY EMAIL.
THE SUBJECT WAS: FROM PU MEMBER LK2FIREONE: SPECIAL OFFER...

DOES THE PU INTERNAL EMAIL SYSTEM HAVE YOUR CURRENT EMAIL ADDRESS?
OR AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT ACTUALLY CAN RECEIVE EMAILS?

from Yanks:
(skippy's Reply)
Thanks for the compliments about the videos being well done. That truly means a great deal to us. And I am always happy to respond to someone who takes the time to offer their thoughts about what we do.
In regards to our target audience it is neither male nor female. YanksVR is a brand extension of Yanks.com which we founded in 2002. We have honed the messaging and targeting quite a bit over the last 15 years. Our evolutions have always been data driven which is why we are still here after 15 years. This has led us to us positioning ourselves as a premium 100% female produced website (absolutely true of course) that focuses primarily on authentic female pleasure. If you are a guy or a girl if you enjoy that you will enjoy the site. The orgasms are as real as advertised and many of our girls have expressed a desire to be together before the shoots. It is this experience that we are trying to improve. I wouldn’t want to position it as for women or for lesbian women as that approach would be too narrow.
In regards to your suggestions I understand your viewpoint and will pass on this review to our producers. You are totally correct about the challenges VR presents right now. It is so early and in regards to cameras, rigs, positioning, etc there have been immense challenges.
Your analogy regarding 3rd person viewing however isn’t exactly accurate. If it was voyeur porn would not exist and the gamers making a million dollars a month streaming their games would not exist. I believe you are perhaps, naturally of course, allowing your own tastes to limit the attractiveness of the product to people who enjoy other niches and other experiences. YanksVR is a step in a direction from Yanks that is really early in the game. There is so much potential here. We have some things in the works that I believe would be steps towards what you would consider better use of VR. I do agree that we, and most people, are not optimizing it yet. Which is ok, it is early.
Our site is a higher cost than average. Once again this was data driven based on what we have seen from both Yanks.com and YanksVR. We launched at $30 and raised it to $40 and found that our loyal customer base stuck with us at the very same rate and with the very same loyalty. This allowed us to reinvest in new cameras and up our game. The first of the higher rez content was posted on Feb 1st.
I could also go into some of the details of the much more aggressive marketing approaches that some of the lower priced sites use, however I will keep it civil. You probably don’t see them as much because you are coming across quite technically savvy and probably avoided them without noticing. Most folks will however pay the extra $10 at some point.
Again, your review and thoughts were very interesting to read. You clearly know your stuff and something to know about me is that advice and suggestions tend to sit in the back of my head for a while and spin there.
