Feed is completely useless lately

It seems that when a new "studio" is added, the default behavior is to add ALL scenes from that studio to your feed. Yesterday I had 65 scenes on my feed, almost all of them were from studios I never heard of and don't care to ever see any of their scenes. I went through and "hid" each and every new studio yesterday, which was a tedious process.

And then today rolls around...and I have NINETY-FIVE scenes in my feed. They're all from random amateur studios.

The entire point of the feed should be to filter out the noise that's been flooding this site. But if that noise automatically gets added to the feed, there's no way to use this site anymore.

Edit: I just went through some of the scenes in my feed, and they're from studios that I've already specifically hidden, so I don't even know what's going on. Finding a new scene that's actually worthwhile is becoming too much of a chore.

Do you maybe mean the 'New Scenes' tab rather than your 'Feed'? I never get new studio content in my Feed, only content from studios and models that I've chosen to follow.

Everyday 95% of the new videos are amateur crap that you can easliy find on xvideos. Some of them don't even have the trouble of removing the xvideos logo from the clip. And it's being a hard job to manually filter good and crap scenes.

No, I mean the tab that says "Feed" (to the right of recommended). When I manage my feed settings, the only things on there are the specific models and studios that I've followed (only about 15 things in total). But every day, almost every amateur studio's scenes fill my feed. I'll see if I can get a screenshot when new scenes release today.

Before checking your feed, go to the ‘new’ tab and hide all the new *cough* studios for that day. Refresh and only then check your feed. It’s stupid, annoying and makes zero sense, but that’s the new normal over here.

That's not how it works for me. As I said above, only studios that I've followed are shown in my Feed. I've just double-checked for tonight to confirm.

I just hate knocking XXX & Giorgio...

I think their chosen path is wrong, but I think their intentions are true & genuine...

I just, as a heterosexual straight simple guy, don't understand, where this site, which has meant so much to me, is going?

Maybe I'm too stupid, dunno..

I just checked my feed today, 43 scenes in my feed. Here's a screenshot that shows studios that I've specifically hidden and disliked are still appearing. Scenes from studios where I never specifically followed are appearing as well. It's more work to use the feed than it is to just sift through new releases.

It also seems some scenes are "free" and show as being automatically added to your library, which I'm not a fan of either. You can see some of the scenes in the screenshot have the checkmark on them; when I first saw that I thought my account was hacked and somebody was buying random scenes.

My Feed looks as below, and this is with a number of studios I haven't previously hidden appearing today. Note a grand total of 5 scenes added for today.

I wonder if this is somehow device or browser specific. I'm using Edge on a Windows 10 laptop. The behaviour I'm seeing fits with what I understood the point of the Feed to be, so for those seeing something else it may be worth highlighting this in the Support section.

If you check I'm pretty sure you'll see these videos don't appear in your library and so aren't any sort of problem. They don't for me anyway. I only noticed these appearing recently but I think the idea is they're free sample videos from new studios to try to get you interested.

What in the royal fuck is going on lately with my feed? I just had +99 listed where I usually only get one or two a week. It was full of garbage porn, nothing I would ever buy or mostly even watch? Why does the page moderators allow such vial practices to be allowed? It's one more reason I'm close to closing my account, I've been a member for 8 years or so, with only a few short breaks. I'm not impressed Pornbox!

Oh, also to those whom I'm sure will comment on my post, the feed is there to remind us a scene from a subscribed performer is available. If I didn't subscribe to a particular model, I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT IN MY FEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That must be very annoying.

Luckily, the "Feed" tab is still working properly for me and shows only new scenes from the few studios which I have selected to "follow".

Therefore luckily I'm spared the tedious process of individually hiding the hundreds of new content sellers which I don't want to see.

If the feed stopped working for me I would be sad/angry/likely gone. Life is too short.

I have to repost this:

I check new scenes on pirate sites because the feed is very qualitative there, no gay, trans content and no amateur bullshit. I can see all AV scenes but also other premium site content. It's very user-friendly.

I don't give a shit anymore. It's enough. If a scene is great and if I want more of the girl or the style, I go on AV and buy it. But I try to avoid the store completely. The delay is 1 day. I can live with that. If the prices will increase more, I will stop buying. Just use the forum. I really would spend more time in the store. But it is getting worse and worse. I don't want to hide everyday dozens of scenes and shitty studios.
