The camera work, the camera angles, the close-ups, the male actors, the bigger cocks, and so on. All of them! And actually, I wasn't surprised at all. I've had this feeling for a while. So the big studios and their scenes are no longer at the same level as they were just a few years ago. When I look at what the major studios have to offer these days, more and more often I turn my head and say to myself...this is boring, seen a thousand times, nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing interesting.
I may or may not have said this before, but even though the perception of scenes' quality is subjective, there are still some specific points to go on about in this --how may I put it?-- never-ending discussion we find ourselves in. For starters, let's consider this situation from a business standpoint:
1. As with other industries such as film or music, and even more so in the era of social media and streaming, creativity is subjected to increasing economic risk, as hardcore consumers are more likely to demand more of the same, whether it is a popular genre as true crime documentaries, reggaeton music, or, yes, a certain kind of niche, hardcore porn, like the one the main studios here deliver.
2. Audiences make these products viable, and hardcore porn users are impatient and somewhat cocky. They want what they want, and they want lots of it promptly. Do you aim for them to cater to something else? Sure, but consider the costs entailed in this noble creative endeavour of yours. What if a new video series based on different ideas or pursuing a fresh style failed miserably and had poor sales? Granted, Netflix productions are way more expensive, though you must also acknowledge analvids is not your average audiovisual provider.
3. Long history short: these are some of the burdens of mass cultural production in year 2023. I know this may sound weird, but it's all about economics in the end, regardless if you sell smartphones or porn. And on top of it, there's a very "vocal" audience that's going to come for you if you don't give them what they want when they want it, whether it is a new iPhone model or a fresh batch of piss-intensive DAP porn.
4. "Yeah, but we know most new iPhones are basically the same as the previous version, only with minor improvements: they just put on a new camera and have you buy it at top price", some of you might say. And yes, that is also true. But how many smartphone users are clever and tech-savvy enough to weigh those elements before making their next buy? The same could be said of heavy porn users, some of which are indeed very vocal in this forum in requesting their ideal man-to-girl ratio, their favourite set of moves to be performed over and over again, or simply to have the studios book the talent they want only....or else they will threat with boycott (?).
5. Was it not about the economics then? It was, yeah. However, power dynamics have changed over the last few years. So, you don't like OF porn? Go talk to Angela White, Riley Reid or Mia Malkova and convince them to stop making millions with their home recordings only because you want them to fuck 5 BBC at once and have these videos released weekly. Good luck with that.
6. I've probably written more than I intended, so I'll end with this: as much leverage as audiences hold today, it is possible for production companies to make their way around this in a manner that business keeps being profitable and the output exciting and creative enough.
It's about dealing with these audiences, yet that's another conversation.
