The score of 58 is a laughingstock. I stand by that comment. It's an absolute joke.
The pseudo-intellect act here on a porn review site is also a laughingstock. I stand by that as well.
The proof is in the pudding, Doc. You're proselytizing to me, a time-tested webmaster and business owner for 13+ years, about things in which my experience has only proven opposite:
1. No downloads will hurt AsianSexDiary - Fact Checked: Untrue. AsianSexDiary has only grown and grown year by year since 2012. Never had downloads.
2. Higher price will hurt AsianSexDiary - Fact Checked: Untrue. AsianSexDiary has only grown and grown year by year since raising to $39.95 in 2015. The traffic, joins and member base is larger and more loyal than ever.
3. 1200x1600px still photos will hurt AsianSexDiary - Fact Checked: Untrue. See answer to #1. (also, 1999 called again)
4. A few hater porn reviews by you and your self-important friends will hurt AsianSexDiary - Fact Checked: Remains to be seen, but I highly doubt it. We've had them before. We'll have some again. Such is existence.
5. I'm going to be "Julius Ceasar" because I push back loudly on haters. - Fact Checked: History proves otherwise. If you knew anything about the beginnings of Trike Patrol from 2005 onward, you would know this. I don't expect you to, but I'm telling you. Ferocity and passion in the face of hate and doubt has carried me and this company quite far. Only those with tyrannical tendencies & malevolent motives will discourage it.
As I said, navigation and ads are things we're looking at. There is a member's area re-design coming later this year. It was planned long before your sanctimonious review was ever thought of.
We have 7+ sites to run, produce content for and promote, I wouldn't expect a shrink to understand such work.
We know who we are, what we do and why. We understand there will always be haters and naysayers. We won't spend much energy trying to placate such people.
It seems obvious to me that the PU staff should ban the webmaster from the PU site.
He is making repeated personal attacks on PU members.
Not in a professional manner.
Which should not be allowed to continue.
If he had behaved in a professional manner, it would be a different matter.
But this is a ridiculous dogfight, that detracts from the spirit of co-operation and friendship of the PU community.
The PU staff needs to see what is happening, and ban the webmaster. Before it gets any worse. Enough, already.
I saw the non Asian women as a plus. If you take and put back the points deducted for non Asian women, you get 68. Jook's review was for 69 and I was 70.
This review is most definitely in the range of scores from trusted PU members.
Ok, so you're counting "trophies" instead of Conquests. The "trophies" only signify girls who appear at least once. Many of them he meets numerous times for additional hardcore scenes.
So if you look at the Conquests page, you'll see 20 rows of 3, for 18 pages. That's 60 hardcore updates per page. 60x18 = 1,080 hardcore updates.
Yes, I admit the navigation, organization and structure in the members area needs work (and that is coming), but let's get the critical facts right at least.
That's a boatload of EXCLUSIVE content, filmed by an amateur guy, traveling all over Asia and beyond to film it, featuring girls you'll never see anywhere else, with a running, travel-blog storyline that is immersive and engaging.
Regarding the FlightClub - It's similar to any kind of online game experience - you don't have to spend ONE PENNY to earn the "miles". You earn miles simply by being a member. Keep your membership active, you earn miles. Comment, you earn miles. Submit trip reports or useful articles related to the site's subject matter, you earn miles.
You can accumulate enough to unlock some of the Rewards Videos fairly easily. And guess what? The rewards videos are another 70 (SEVENTY!) hardcore exclusive scenes with only the hottest Asian dolls.
That is more content than some sites in the Asian Amateur niche have in total. And this is just in the Rewards section alone.
You are not forced to buy anything. You still have full access to the regular weekly hardcore updates (2 -3x a week). You still earn miles as you go, without spending any money.
Large pics & Downloads - the 1990s to mid-00's called. They want you back.
Ads - Could there be one or two less? Sure. Ad Blocker is nice option for those that it bothers. Nobody is forced to click anything. There's no pop-ups, pop-unders or redirects.
What is "industry" and what is not? Well, "industry" sites are those using the same pornstars, producers, styles and site concepts over and over again. They use talent agencies, etc. Everything is a big production and the sites are either all owned by the same big companies (MIndgeek, Brazzers, etc) or someone in bed with them.
Non-industry are sites who are more independent, operating outside the gravitational pull of the "porn industry" at large. Content from foreign countries in Asia, non-professional girls, non-professional producers, and no strong business ties or alliances with the "Masters of the Porn Universe".
So the content will look and feel different that what you are used to seeing everywhere else. That is part of the draw. Few can go toe-to-toe with those big companies, in the more mainstream niches anymore. If you're so pre-conditioned to that style of content and website, you wouldn't appreciate or like Asian Sex Diary very much. It's understandable.
Please don't lower the discussion to grammar Nazi level. That's beneath us both. Rudolf Hess (the original grammar Nazi) would approve, but I doubt anyone else cares here.
Sometimes you just have to shake your head and laugh quietly to yourself. Good lord.
Show me another amateur Asian site the comes even close to providing what is provided on Asian Sex Diary?
Not an American-based "asian american" pornstar site. Not a JAV industry site.
But a bona fide amateur Asian site featuring first-timers from all over Asia, filmed by an average guy. Updated with 2 - 3 hardcore scenes every week.....for 6 years running.
Where is such a site and what rating did you give it?
TrikePatrol (Filipinas) and TukTukPatrol (Thais) are great little sites in their own rights, but they're targeting a specific micro-ethnicity. They don't come close to providing the amount of content and updates Asian Sex Diary does. Trike has 500+ scenes and TuKTuk has 160 or so. That's a drop in the bucket compared to Asian Sex Diary. It's not even close.
Docking 10 for "non-Asian models"? Really? 15 - 20 girls out of 1000? Your math is way off there. The relative % of "non-Asian" models compared to the 10 pts docked for them being on the site is imbalanced to say the least.
Again, there's an implicit bias against "non-industry" content and sites which is quite evident here. The score of 58 is an absolute laughing stock joke.
I appreciate your take on this site. I hope you don't get flak from the webmaster.
I did not see a rewards system for shilling for the site. I would love to see what the wording is. It is my understanding that PU takes that kind of thing very seriously as a violation of policies.
Nice review that is different from mine,but gives an even lower rating.
Of course people have differing opinions about what is important in a website. I deliberately went into detail so readers can see what I took off for and what are plusses. I don't pretend to be an objective reviewer, never have and never will. I write reviews to try to be informative and helpful. To whatever degree they work, it is always a very individual decision on the part of the reader. Maybe some don't like my reviews or their tastes are very different. I have read many nicely written reviews of sites that don't reflect my tastes. I will never apologize for having a viewpoint or attack someone else for theirs.
I may be wrong, but I think the only reviewers that try to be objective are the professionals at TBP, Rabbits and similar sites. They are not really objective though as the sites get revenue from people signing up. I think PU is unique that way and that is what makes PU what it is.
thanks a lot for youre info, it helps.
but one more question.
did you mean by: but a lot of Premium's movies are licensed from DDF/1ByDay.
that theses videos are also seen on 1byday and are therfore not exclusive?
I think the record for me was somewhere north of $50 USD. it may have been as much as $70. It was for a unique BDSM site so the costs and rarity supported the price. And the Canadian dollar was either on par with or higher than the US dollar so that helped. $40 seems to be a mental block for me these days.
Thanks for taking one for the team and trying and reviewing this network. It's definitely too bad that ATK Girlfriends is not included, but I guess ATK is trying to make that site stand out as specials, though they do include it in their email list 2-for-1 specials from time to time. I've checked it out then and they have some of the best, most intimate-feeling POV scenes around on that site. It's a genre that I get tired of, but it's very well done.
Thanks for the review. I've been a member of AT Kingdom Network a few times. It has nice content, but the lack of an overarching software platform for the individual six networks is a huge disappointment. You outline the problem well.
AT Kingdom Network is ridiculously overpriced for what you get. It's cheaper to join four sites individually. There's also so much content that you can't really get your money's worth in one month.
I respectfully disagree about ATK Natural & Hairy, as I find pubic hair extremely sexy, but to each their own.
Interesting read. I don't think this network has ever been on my radar and that's mostly because of the price. It may be worth it but I just have a mental block against paying that much. Unfortunately for me the Canadian dollar is in a slump so that makes memberships even more expensive.
I also agree with you that ATK Hairy wouldn't be a site I'd be interested in at all. I'm not going to criticize anyone's interests, but there are some I just don't share.
Nice review. Thanks for sharing. I have browsed through the ATK Hairy Site before. I enjoy a natural look at times. Too much hair can be a turnoff, however. Then again, everyone has their own intersts and there is something for everyone.
It is odd today that a little bush is considered something that would appeal only to a niche market. Back in the 80's, a shaved vagina was considered a fetish niche. Then the trend became popular and everyone started shaving--even the guys. Suddenly, pubic hair became evil. They even had a magazine called 'Shaved' and it featured women with total shaved pubes or a brazillian shave. Believe it or not, it would actually be filed under the category, 'bizarre fetish.
Tattoos and nipple piercings are also something that is a recent incarnation. In the past, they too would have only appeared in a fetish publication.
Especially glad to hear that this site has gotten an overhaul. It was maybe even worse than ATK Premium for navigating and getting content. It WAS organized, but in Byzantine fashion.
Now if they could fix ATK Petites so that it's easier to navigate and well, READ, I'll be happier than a squirrel on a nut farm. (Pink type on blue background? Pul-leeze! Have they ever read Websites That Suck?)
Well, I would say that the smaller set, where you would like to see more has done its job. ;0)
One of my pet peeves is the bulking out of photosets with 6 shots of each pose.
Take the shots for sure, but take only the best ones, FFS do some editing! :0E
Your last paragraph I agree with too.
Unfortunately, the art of capturing a proper striptease has largely been lost.
For instance, very seldom these days do you see the removal of hose & shoes in a photoset.
It can be one of the most erotic parts of the striptease.
I think you are right that the ATK sites are photo oriented.
For sure they are, & none the worse for it.
The skill sets required for video & still photography are more diverse than might initially strike you. Whilst a lot of sites are trying to do both few do both well.
As it is a photography site though I wish they would get away from the idea that bigger is always better.
Some of the zip sets on the other ATK sites are well in excess of 100Meg. That is a lot of stuff to sort through to find the small bits you like.
I am missing custom zips even more now.
Exotics - pretty special you'd choose this site - or rather any site of ATK to join - or for a review.
That ATK and their sites have certainly not had the best scores/words for some time - and understandably.
Like in your review:
"Movies, while some are good, most aren't."
It seems like the old story about ATK - and to follow up, you say:
"Many of the good ones (movies) are the older ones cut into parts." - BTW same as ever.
Anyway - after reading your review - am I wrong in the presumption, that the main PROS - are the quality of models?
Dime Piece - When a girl is bangin', hot, beautiful, "A perfect ten."
Jess is a fucking dime piece, bro.
I looked it up after I started seeing photo sets from ATK Exotics at ATK Petites labeled "Dime Piece" and was thinking - "WTF?"
Of course the curators of ATK Exotics have different tastes than mine, so I rarely concurred with their judgement that the photosets posted as "Dime Piece" photosets matched the definition above.
I recommend that they go to a more descriptive categorization, but I suspect that they're quite happy being the only porn site with a "Dime Piece" category and will keep it as is.
