| Pros: |
- Very attractive models, mostly European
- Great video sizes/quality
- Site uses names in the videos now. A+, Gamma.
- Images available (zips)
- Images available in both lower and high resolution, with appropriate sizes for both (30MB or 300MB). A+ |
| Cons: |
- Locked videos.
- A pretty small site. All those videos you can't watch don't count towards site size, guys. D-.
- You'll get automatically logged out fairly routinely.
- Way, WAY too much cross-selling baked into the cake.
- I encountered some major variations in download speeds
- Too many "best of" compilations that seem to just be padding.
- Watch for auto checked additional subscription purchases at the payment page. SITE OWNERS- Is it worth that small percentage of affiliate or referral cash to never, ever have a paying customer return to your site after getting burned? |
| Bottom Line: |
This is another offering from the 21sextury folks. Overall it's not a bad site. It's a bit small, but the quality is good and the models are beautiful. The major problem, as is the big problem with the other 21___ sites, is the preponderance of locked videos that you can't view without joining other sites.
On one of Kattie Gold's video's there are 15 advertisements for other sites. They're not discrete, either. The default "Recommended Videos" tab is automatically chosen and shows you the ads, and the "Kattie Gold" tab, you know, the actress you're interested in and are currently viewing, needs to be clicked to see more. Click it and you'll see the other major problem of this site: There are seven videos of the actress listed on the site, but one of them is for the page you're currently viewing, and four of the clips have lock icons on them. So in reality there are only two other videos available, but seven are shown.
A more obvious example is someone more popular and who has done more work. Click on Aletta Ocean's thumbnail to view her scenes, and there are 25 pages of the actress. Wow. Twenty five pages. Begin clicking at page one and you'll quickly realize most seem to be "best of" compilations that involve short clips of her along with other actresses in unrelated scenes, or that the scenes are locked and unavailable. I started at page five and clicked through page 14, and there was one clip available for downloading. Ten pages of thumbnails of the actress, and only one clip available for downloading.
Worse? It wasn't even really one of her scenes, but one of the "best of" clips.
I encountered some substantial speed fluctuations at times. I tested other sites and my connection and speeds were fine, so I'm not sure if it's a problem or an intentional measure similar to auto logouts. Not a dealbreaker, but something to be noted.
I don't really understand the automatic logouts. It seems to happen at least once a day. It seems like it would be more secure to allow the user to control the logout, because if a username and password combination is in continual use, an attempt at hacking and logging in using stolen usernames and passwords would be automatically rejected. I'm sure it's something related to bandwidth or the like, but I've also been logged out at the same time I was downloading a file on the same computer. It seems odd that a user actively and continually using the legitimate account wouldn't have to worry about such things.
I don't want it to appear that the bad outweighs the good, but the site has so much potential that the bad is extremely obvious. Overall I like the site and would recommend it IF only the available videos were shown and it required a simple click if the user interested in looking at other sites where you could spend additional money to see more work by the same actress. Having to scroll through and click past on the actual site I've paid money to join is very irritating, though, especially when one discovers that the listed, clickable actress only has locked scenes.
Would I recommend? Probably not as is unless you're looking for every piece of work from one actress. It's a bit small and irritating for the price. As a part of a combined network with all the ubiquitous locked-icon 21sextury and 21sextreme clips available? Yes. |
