When buying content think of this.

The cost of exclusive content is often the cost of the sets 5 to 10 times non exclusive. How bad is the content or the service that it can't be sold 10 times?

Often the person you are buying from has no track record, lives in a different country or State, you have little to no chance of getting your money back. Few of them can process a credit card payment.

One picture is proof they can shoot or find one good picture, it's not proof they can shoot a porn set or video.

Few have clients who will recommend them.

They are often scrabbling around for business competing on price.

They often make promises they can't keep. I've had people tell me they want the GIRL exclusive, a good looking girl can earn $1,000 a week. No shooter can control what whe will do for less.

Mostly these threads are aimed at content producers who work at the bottom of the price scale. You get what you pay for in this game as in all others.
