I thought they were slipping away from hardcore with too many solo and girl/girl updates.

I also feel a bit dissapointed when I join DDF lately. I think they had amazing talent five or seven years ago (Sophie Moone, Eve Angel, Jo, etc.), but since then, they haven't been able to replace them with other models with the same charisma, and 21st Sextury has been able to atract the fans of all those "classic" models by offering them solo sites (some of which are also going downhill, btw).
Right now, DDF offers well produced action with cute models, but it doesn't have that soul or glamour or something extra that it seemed to have...

I agree with you that the quality has been dropping a little more each year. In their defense. I don't think they are alone because I find that a lot of porn sites/network are also suffering a similar fate.

I suppose that is the case, but there are other sites are putting out decent content, many euro sites included amongst those, so what is their excuse? It just seems like their standards have gone way down, I'd rather a site put out 1 decent scene a week than 5 mediocre ones. I was a member of x-art for a few months even though their update rate is relatively slow, because their updates were usually pretty good (albeit short).

You are correct that it's not a good excuse. I just think that it's a reality for almost all porn sites these days and I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel. Most sites are still updating but many of them do so less frequently so that instead of new content each day or so you now get new content once or twice a week.
My biggest issue with DDF is in the fact that many of their updates are older scenes that have been remastered or a scene from one site is updated on another site as though it's new content.

Yes, they do a lot of remastering of older material and posting it as updates. With the photos, their pre-1616 pixel stuff got made into 1616 pixel reduxes, and now those are being made into 2000 pixel updates. The DDF network is now full of such reworked content.
While I've said before that I don't mind such stuff if it makes it better (and that I don't return often for it), it has gotten kind of ridiculous. I suppose they'll be redoing the 2000's as 2500's sooner or later -- with yet another logo design, of course.
It's not what the term "repeat business" was intended for ...

I was never a big DDF fan per say but I was a huge Hands on Hardcore one so part of my annoyance with them is the fact that content from one site somehow disapears from the original site and reappears on another of their site as a new update. I guess newbies wouldn't necessarily recognize that but it's rather annoying for a guy like me who remembers that update from the prior site.
On the other hand they aren't charging a lot for all their content so it's hard to be hangry at them.

Well, they've done a fair amount of that "now you don't see it, now you do" trick of putting content from one site on to another, too. I didn't realize that Hands on Hardcore was in that game plan, but surprised I ain't.
DDF Beauties was my biggest annoyance in that way, with just about all of it being stuff that had already been posted on other ddf sites.
I guess I was stupid to assume that "new site" meant "new content." But maybe not. Stupid means unable to learn. I no longer join ddf sites, so I guess I was simply gullible.

Your the perfect example of why it's a bad decision for sites to do those things. I can appreciate any site looking for a way to cut cost so that they can stay in business but it should not be at the cost of their members trust. Instead of trying to update each site with new content then simply limit the updates to a couple of them.
Keep the other sites open so that new customers can get the older content. This way you have happy new customers and can retain your older paying customers as well.

Frankly, I don't understand the point of having so damn many sites anyway. I remember when it was just "1byday." Nice 'n simple. Now they've got something like 10 and they have (had?) that offer of all 10 for some discount price.
To me, it just causes unnecessary complication and confusion. I want my fucking porn served up straight 'n simple without all of this biz-concept bullshit.
Same comment goes for 21st Sextury. Remember when it was just PixAndVideo and ClubSandy? That was good enough! Both companies have overreached and they look like real idiots.
It's like Crystal Pepsi and New Coke, but on steroids. Will people ever learn???? Well, there's no substitute for common sense. Either you've got it, or you don't.

Sadly I think it's a by product of American culture. There is a strong belief that bigger is better so it makes sense that many porn site would try to appeal to that mentality. The reality is very different because often bigger isn't better. It's usually more but more crap is not a good thing.
I think that's why ddf claims they have 10 sites for 30$ because that looks great. The reality is that they really only have 5 sites that upodate with truly new content while all the others are BS.

I thought it was basically a European site (management, not just the women), but it does seem like that mentality just the same, as in "If you act now, you'll get FIVE super blueberry plants. Just pay separate shipping and handling."

It is an all European site but it's just proof that North American mentality affects other Nations. Not to mention that they know a large part of their paying members are going to come from North America so you want to appeal to them.
