The location of the shoot has little to do with the quality of the content. Bad US content, is still bad. Also there were and still are some great shooters using or shooting in Eastern Europe. The difference between good and bad is the shooter and the ability to lure him to shoot for the buyer.

The notion that anyone with a digital camera can shoot porn is the problem and then add the ability to pay an experienced shooter compounds it. So 100s of sites had the same or similar content and the difference in getting enough sales to make enough money to run the site was all that mattered. This is why a few sites rose to the top, they were able to produce something that sold and kept members wanting more.

Yet when the price of a solo girl set/video is $300-$500 or BG $1500-$2,000 exclusive. The buyer is never going to get good shooters who can earn $3,000 non exclusive for a solo girl set or $5,000 or more for a BG set. Think of it like a site paying 10% rev share on a site that offers the surfer nothing better than other sites.

Shooters like affiliates go to where the money is best. Narrowing it down to me, shows a failure to come up with a decent debate.
