Content buyers, do you want quality or price?

Been selling content for years and noticed over the years that the prices people are willing to pay have fallen and fallen. Along with quality. There are some obvious exceptions.

5-6 years ago when the $ was worth something we got $2,000 for an exclusive scene. Today the $ is worthless some will pay that and some will want a deal on bulk, 2 scenes or more. Same goes for solo girl and lesbian.

On non exclusive it's better to release crap at a discounted price than shoot properly and sell at a reasonable price. You can sell a set for $4 100 times easier than you can sell a set 10 times for $40. While everyone tells you non exclusive is saturated few today are willing to pay the premium to have it unsaturated.

There are some glaring examples of sites who do it right, Sapphic and Twistys being only 2 of a few. Their results show the way forward.

So please stop hitting me up on ICQ and asking me for unsaturated content for $2 a scene.
