Erika Korti studio membership is a rip off!

I got myself a monthly membership but I can access only older scenes. Recent or new scenes are not accessible! What a rip off!

I don't know how much control the content sellers have when setting up subscription sales on Pornbox.

But it seems a bit naughty to advertise "full access membership" if you are selling something less.

Other studios (e.g. Nick Morris) at least try to state the number of videos that are excluded from the subscription deal. However, currently they can't or don't state which scenes are included and which are not. And the number of included/excluded scenes is variable, it changes over time, which would be a pain for the studio to maintain. We customers are left to figure out that the most recent and valuable scenes are the ones which studios reserve for sale on PPV.

I do think it's fair that producers will want to sell their newest scenes on PPV for a premium price, and exclude them from package deals which might work better for selling back catalogues.

I think studios could move their older scenes into a separate studio and sell subscriptions to that, so that all customers can see exactly what they are buying.

e.g. A studio could release a new scene onto their "PPV Studio" where fans can buy that scene from day of release, at full price paid in cash or tickets, and have it in their PB Library for ever. Same as now. No subscription required.

Then, after a certain number of days, that same scene could also be made available in the same content seller's "subscription studio" where customers can stream or download (but not save to their PB Library) so long as they maintain an active subscription to that "subscription studio".

I don't know how many days should elapse before a scene gets released into the "subscription studio". I guess the scenes feeding through into the subscription studio need to be fresh enough to keep subscribers interested. And content sellers need to find a balance between maximising their sales on PPV and keeping their subscribers happy enough to keep paying to renew their monthly subscription.

They should probably also place a message on their "PPV studio" mentioning that older scenes are also available in the same content seller's "subscription studio", and vice versa.

A similar approach might help clarify the current practice of some studios who re-release similar versions of their own scenes a few weeks or months after first release, to try to gain more views and PPV sales. (e.g. the now notorious "middle version" sold by one studio).

They could place their warmed-over versions in a separate studio, clearly labelled and competitively priced, and keep their "main PPV studio" for genuinely new material at a premium price. The re-releases would still appear on the daily "new scenes" page and gain visibility, but it might be (a bit) easier for customers to discover which material is genuinely new.

^ Also helps if you don't have the "Full Access" highlight switched off in the user control panel of PB, like I did
