It also does not help that American shooters, on average, tend to shoot more fake/bored/serial stuff. Before I get ripped apart I'll say that YES, there are notable exception - but I see a pattern nevertheless.
One example that comes to my mind. I was proposed to buy some videos, a few days ago, by a relatively well known American shooter. Girls were fresh, young, and natural, and the setting was supposed to be "amateur / self shot". BUT the whole thing looked so horribly fake and bored. Clearly fake moaning over the top, blowing kisses to the camera, etc. At the very least, please tell them NOT to moan :-).
It may be in large part due to a "filler content" mentality. As Paul pointed out in other threads, the industry is currently dominated by the webmasters side of the equation, and this is probably even truer in the U.S.
Many of them (certainly not all, but a good number) start by asking themselves: Ok, facial|milf|tranny|whatever does good. I need to buy a "package" of 20 facial|milf|tranny|whatever scenes, so that I can get a domain, build a tour and and a member area, find (and sometimes screw) some affiliates and I am done.
Many times, I suspect, this particular webmaster does not even watch his videos - they are in the required 'niche' and that's enough. So why should the shooter care?
Sure, you will probably make a fast buck out of it if you build a decent tour, do your SEO homework, etc.
We all love fast bucks, but beyond the first two weeks there's more money to be made if you care about your product and your customer - that's a general rule in any industry, except if you are selling fake viagra pills and the like.
I know I am generalizing too much, and I could name 10 businesses, in both Europe and U.S. that are totally paranoid about the quality of their content and do well. But overall, the fake-viagra-pills mentality is probably dominant, and this contributes pushing chargebacks up and rebills down.
