any web user with half a brain can tell the difference between real and fake amateur pics.
you are right in many cases, we also had to learn that less equipment and less skills make more authentic content.

we have now someone "shoot" exGf content for us who has never worked as photographer before and we gave him just amateur equipment

but the problem is also the pricing. for some reason the prices for this type of content were extremely low right from the beginning. so paying couples for hardcore amateur content is for us simply too risky. it seems to work only for those who also run their own sites and make real money with this
