Yes, nostalgia can be a factor. But back then producers were selling VHS tapes,later DVDs, now the files are online.
Phil and Moody can have the feeling that now everything is produced like on an assembly line because back then the producers produced their stuff - VHS and DVD - in their own schedule, now they have to output a new set every week, putting extra logistical challenge on producers to - for example - shoot enough summer outdoor stuff to last the whole winter. I admire them they can cope with this. It is easy then to fall into a certain routine if they have to shoot multiple videos in a week, many times with time constraints - available location, light, etc.
But you are right, we have such a variety we didn't have before and in HD, everybody can find something they like. I have my shortlist of 3-4 producers, which I enjoy thoroughly.
And if Moody prefers the old stuff, he can subscribe to MKs excellent streaming service on UMD showcasing all the Wamtec videos from the last almost 3 decades. |

By MikeP - Mon 04/03/19 15:17:46 GMT The stuff that was made back than is still made now. Often by the same producers. Though now sometimes in HD. There is just more variety, but nothing was lost. You are romantisizong the good old days, just like nostalgic Hollywood is now romantisizng the 50/60s or many people in ex Soviet countries who did not do so well in capitalism - the USSR. Yet all of you if transported per time machine to your preffered time, would come back very fast, missing the options and variety. That is why Moody’s producer bullying was so weird, as it just means he can’t Google (and neither can you) as the traditional output is the same. Or you guys want just that traditional stuff you like and nothing for others woth different tastes, but that would be just weird and pointless meanness :D
I also remember those days. Without nostalgia. Great producers but with limited means, sd quality which looked grainy, small pics which if bought now (from shops that go way back) look worse than Instagram pics. High prices. Limited credit card processors, limited credit cards in many countries. Nothing to miss! |

By Phil - Mon 04/03/19 08:02:49 GMT I said pretty much the same about a year ago and got flames, I totally agree with you about the assembly line output. years ago there used to be one or two amateur wet sites that were a dream, I cn remember them but can't recall the names, wish we had a time machine. |

By Moody - dakina200@hotmail.com Sun 03/03/19 09:18:12 GMT So, my complaint about wetlook being the same thing over and over with too much focus on nudity and lesbian make out sessions had some blowback that has exposed just how creatively bankrupt wetlook has become.
For one, it seems my complaint triggered Leonmoomin into doing a shallow damage control stunt that involved tagging four submissions with the claim "This isn't creatively bankrupt" regardless of the content of the submitted vidoes before going back to produce the same old as always. I find it especially sad that his defense involves taking pride in having the two top spots on a porn production site like UMD while claiming porn in wetlook is a small niche thing.
Second, Dima took Wetlooker's front page offline for less than 24 hours by faking that complaints about his content was making it too hard to keep going, thus sparking a collection of sheep into kowtowing while throwing money at him so he would bring the page back which he did. It also had the effect of making it obvious that no changes will be made whatsoever since people are willing to pay so much just to keep the status quo.
Third, we now have people asking for forum modders to IP ban users for daring to, complain, with the asinine claim of it being harassment to do so. I have also see we have the tired old "If you don't like it, go do something else" BS line getting pushed around as if telling people to get lost because you don't like their opinion is a valid thing to do. I've been into wetlook since 1993, I've spent tons of cash on videos and images, I've sponsored the creation of at least 12 videos from different wetlook producers over a seven year period. Yet I'm the one getting told to fuck off because I actually question the massive drop in quality and the factory assembly line nature of wetlook production for the past few years based off of 26 years of experience.
But, I'm dropping out now.
I have grown tired of this state, nothing changes, nothing improves. When constructive critique is treated as harassment and the general census of the crowd is for everyone to shut up, keep your head down and mindlessly consume or face exile, then there is nothing left to salvage. Wetlook is creatively bankrupt and it will continue to be creatively bankrupt because the vast majority is happy to pay for the bare minimum of effort from creators while silencing those who object.
I'm leaving and I am taking my money with me.
PS Dima, it still looks stupid when your models start off their videos looking like they pissed their pants because you recycled the same set of wet underwear for each shoot, no fake retirement will change that fact.
