I'm not at all happy with the number of hard core scenes we're getting

[Devo1124]

Hmmm. Taking a look at the upcoming schedule, we have a behind the scenes update that dropped today. I might check it out. I might not. It isn't porn, and not the reason I signed up. We'll get a porn update on Wednesday, and then nothing, that's right... nothing until Sunday the 22nd. And the next update after that is a week from this Wednesday on the 25th. So we've got Wednesday - Sunday - Wednesday as the porn schedule this week.

How are we feeling about this? Thoughts? Opinions?

FACT:

We are getting less porn for our money, and (if like me, you're also paying for the Just For Fans) then you're ultimately paying more money for more content but less porn.

SO THE REAL QUESTION TO MANAGEMENT IS THIS:

Since we're getting less porn for our money, why should members continue to pay when we can wait 24 hours and watch the exact same scenes in their entirety on a tube site?

The reason we do it is because of loyalty, and while I like supporting Broke Straight Boys, I'm not going to continue to do so if I get less and less hardcore content every week. I'm not being a bitch. I'm just stating the facts. My two cents.

Good point

I thought the new plan was every three days? Or am I misremembering something?

We have been in the adult industry for 21 years now and our price used to be 39.87 and now we are charging way less. We are competing with free porn, only fans and everything else. If we want to stay around for the long haul we have to make changes especially when we barely charge anything for the site. As for Just For Fans that is only 9.99 a month so we try to keep things cheap as possible while trying to stay in business. Most of our competition is gone and we are still around because of the decisions we make. The models is one of our biggest expenses and we still do the most expense testing which is over 200 per model. We want to continue keeping our models safe and happy and be able to pay them what they are worth. Our competition is still charging more even when you add on the Just For Fans. We appreciate your membership and you are supporting the future of the site as well as the models.

Mark, as a business man I understand and you don’t see me complaining. I have a lot of respect for you guys hanging in there and trying to really give us great value. Broke Straight Boys is one of the best bargains out there. The forum is very special and your service with technical issues is unmatched. I think the Just 4 Fans is a great addition and I’m surprised more people haven’t jumped on the band wagon. It takes a lot of work and dedication to stay in the business this long and those who haven’t changed and adapted aren’t here anymore. So many of the sites have been bought up by conglomerates and have become much lesser versions of what they once were. My hat is off to you and the team for surviving and trying to continue to improve things. It’s not easy. In fact it’s down right impossible.

Devo, I find your post quite interesting. Not that I agree with all of it -- but you bring up some points that I have also been thinking about. I have "thought seeds" for a way to resolve income issues for porn studios while at the same time not being too financially onerous for consumers -- and I've been busy out here on the left coast talking with site owners about just this topic. In our current scenario, I agree with you that members of Broke Straight Boys should get access to the J4F content at a lower cost than those who don't subscribe to Broke Straight Boys Having said that -- regarding Broke Straight Boys scenes, I would pose this question. Would you rather have more scenes with less desirable (take that as either beauty or talent) models, or less scenes that are fantastic (even though they might cost more to produce)? For me, I'd rather have less scenes that are way better -- which, in my opinion, is what we've been seeing recently here on Broke Straight Boys

I was a bit confuse with added JFF tbh, okay it's more like vlog than a "pseudo porn site"...maybe. i think in the future it would be best if you post for example a min or two jerk off video on jff and just record it with phone or something so people still se the "porn" on jff and also with the trend right now, making a hommade style on jff or onlyfans will increase your profit too. So you will have studio type shoot on this website and amateur-is on jff so people who subs will not get bored. That's what i cam say, sorry if my english is bad because i'm not native speaker

I think you guys are doing a great job and the price isn't too high either, considering what we get for the money.....Some folks will complain if you hang them with a new rope....what would happen if there wasn't a forum for free....

I completely understand and thank Mark for being upfront with us about the situation in his industry today. Sure, I got used to the regular rotation of scenes every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday night at 10 PM Eastern time, with bonus scenes sprinkled in on other nights. But I think that a few less scenes per month is far superior than raising our subscription cost.

I sincerely appreciate what you do for us the fans of Broke Straight Boys, Mark. And for both your sake and mine, I hope that Broke Straight Boys will be around for a long time to come!!!!

Yeesh. This is a classic case of stockholm syndrome. You guys are drinking the kool-aid. LOL! Aw well, so am I since I'm paying dues (for now, at least).

I love Broke Straight Boys for bringing us straight/bi-curious guys getting it on with attractive gay boys. I'm a big fan of the site. This and Chaos Men are my faves, and I gladly pay for both. Just pointing out that we're getting less hardcore porn for our buck at Broke Straight Boys

That is right. Mark posted a notice when things changed. Many people were disappointed and mentioned something but it’s evidently a business decision. The alternative is probably higher subscription cost, possibly much higher. I don’t know any other sight who has remained this reasonable. But you are right there are fewer scenes. The quality has recently improved and I think it’s an acceptable trade off but your point is well taken.

Mike, as usual, I agree with you. However, on the days when BBS is silent with new posts, I’ve been disappointed that HSBoys hasn’t updated, running the same clips for months. What the story with HSBoys?

These are leased feeds and have contacted the company that we lease them from but no response. We are working on getting a hold of them to see what is going on. Very sorry for the inconvenience.
