I’ll leave this topic open to gauge interest from the rest of the community. I’m not opposed to creating a new forum but having an entire forum with 10 posts on s not really worthwhile. So if there is a wider interest, I’ll make it happen.

LPSG is the place to go to to for that sort of thing. This forum has a touch of class which would be denuded by adding LPSG-like characteristics. 

I still haven't been able to navigate LPSG's search function for their reviews on OF/JFF - it's so obtuse imo.

Looking at JFF this morning where I currently only have one subscription (Manuel Skye) made me think about how different providers approach this business differently.  I have to say Manuel is one smart cookie: He breaks down most scenes into 3 or 4 parts which he posts over a period of a few weeks, so if someone's subscription is about to lapse he might extend it just to see the concluding part of a scene.  While this might sound bad (and I would honestly just prefer to have an entire scene posted as one clip), I don't think it's a bad business practice as long as there is other content being posted at the same time.  I've noticed that Manuel usually has 2 or 3 scenes going at a time, so while he posts part 2 of 3 of one scene he's posting the first part of another and the last part of something else.  He also posts a lot of solo material and "flashback" scenes.  He posts some teasers of videos available as PPV in direct messaging, but unlike some guys it isn't like he refuses to post full scenes without getting paid more than the standard subscription fee.  I don't know how his page is working out for him financially, but from the outside I would say that he seems to have put thought into how to maximize his income from this by keeping fans happy but also keeping them wanting more.

I'll contrast this with a couple of other guys whom I won't name who posted almost no content other than still photos and very brief solo scenes.  They'd tease that they would soon be posting a hot scene and/or ask what the fans wanted to see, but then they would fail to deliver.  It's amazing to me that a provider doesn't understand that they won't retain any subscribers if they aren't posting anything of value.  One of these guys even had the gall to increase his subscription rate from $10 to $14.95 per month because, he said, he needed more money to create content.  He really had that backwards -- he needed to create and post more content so $10 per month seemed worth it, and then maybe he could have increased his price and retained satisfied customers at a higher revenue point.

That is quite standard. Another practice that has become mainstream is charging extra for the full movies. You pay the membership to access exclusive pictures and previews, but the full movies are offered to you through private message, at an extra cost. Although I respect that independent porn creators have the right to maximize their earnings, those are all practices I do not like as a consumer.

That is why I love so much Rhyheim Shabazz. He is confident his stuff is good and does not manipulate your thirst. You pay only 10 bucks and for that you have access to full movies, not chopped in shorter parts and not offered for extra money.

The only con I see in his business model is that sometimes you have to wait for weeks to see the full production. Why? Because in order to support less known performers, he grants them the premier for one to two weeks. Obviously not a big con. The sourness of waiting is sweetened by supporting a generous and politically valuable practice.

Yes, Rhyheim seems to be another smart one when it comes to using the Fans platforms.  I just don't understand why some of these guys don't understand that they would be more successful charging less and providing quality content versus having fans who pay to access their pages but end up with minimal content with the expectation that those fans will keep paying extra for what they really want to see.  If anything, there are a lot of guys who will just scour the internet for free porn so it makes sense that if you want to collect money for your porn versus people watching it for free elsewhere then provide a good reason for people to pay a nominal amount.

The key words are "quality content". Not everyone has the talents and skills required for that. I agree with you, there are talented creators like Krave or CagedJock that follow the mainstream practices. It is easy to say that they are not "business smart", but I just do not know enough about the business to make a judgement. Sometimes I think that measuring all performers by Rhyheim's standard is not fair, because of his exceptionality. But I do not have strong opinions about this.

I love this idea and would be happy to contribute. Some OF guys are worth every penny. Some, not so much. A forum to share and discuss would be awesome.

Great idea to separate the wheat from the chaff - we should rate everything, from camera work and lighting to sex chemistry.  

Thank God we all like different things... I don't mind a forum for pornstars but not precisely for Only Fans.

I'm sure one of the first question we would ask is if the guy is available for private meetings.

I posted this question on another forum.  I apologize for the double posting.  Perhaps we can have an OF/JFF performer review page?

Yes to a porno/pornstar forum!

Chaterbate and Flirt4Free both belong in the same area as OF/JFF. It's usually the same guys but sometimes not or some may do more live work than videos. The homemade vids on OF are usually just teases but even the sex ones are often poorly shot compared to porn and expensive. Unfortunately CBers have also started selling very expensive vids on their CB page. CB keeps 50% while OF only takes 20% so OF is better for the guys if they can manage it. There's also a lot of internet sites snagging these vids for free now.
