I agree that we don't know when a new "Before the scene" or "After the Scene" is going to be presented,
Well, actually, we do know when a new "Before the scene" and "After the scene" will be presented. The day before, and the day after the scene in question. Moving on to the next point...
I fully understand why they changed the format of the homepage. When the "upcoming scenes" and the " current scenes" included both BTS and full sex scenes, it was confusing to some members who thought that they were being ripped off with all the BTS and did not understand which were free and which were hardcore scenes.
And how exactly were members confused that clearly-marked "Behind the scenes" didn't contain sex, and which scenes were hardcore scenes? That's not the issue here at all. The issue is that, due to the homepage re-design, some members were unaware that the "Behind the scenes" episode was available for viewing. It has nothing to do with it being "free", or members feeling ripped off due to the rapidly diminishing hardcore content on this site. Next point ...
So it is much clearer to the fans now, particularity those who don't read the forum.
Members used to notice the "Behind the scenes" episodes under the old home page design, but some fail to notice them with this re-designed home page. So no, it isn't clearer. That may have been the intention, but the result is a crammed homepage where all the "behind the scenes" are now grouped together and the new one doesn't immediately stand out.
It's another situation where management is "damned if they do and damned if they don't".
That's not it at all. It's simply a case of management not understanding the needs of their membership. I don't know about you, but I'm a porn addict. So what's the one thing I care about? And really, it's the only thing I care about.
NEW PORN
Not yesterday's porn, or last week's porn. But NEW PORN. Porn I haven't seen yet and can't wait to view. The "Behind the scenes" episode feeds into it by providing a preview of this NEW PORN. So yeah, some of my fellow porn addicts are annoyed that the re-design makes it more confusing to notice when a new BTS episode has dropped.
Now, personally, I'm not annoyed. Really. I don't watch solos or any of the BTS interview material at all until after a hardcore scene featuring the model has dropped, and I'll only view it if I'm interested in the model. So this change doesn't really impact my viewing habits. But I noticed the re-design and just shook my head.
But in regards to the "management is damned if the do, and damned if they don't" notion, I have to disagree. I like management, but they really don't think through decisions from our perspective. Like I said, the only thing I care about is NEW PORN, and if they truly understood that, they wouldn't try to sell us on the notion that getting fewer hardcore scenes with our membership is a good thing. Because it's not.
