Look at some of the prices being offered to shoot the content for solo girl sites. Prices that mean you have to work day after day, work the shooter and the model into the ground, limit locations and in the end just scrape by.

Someone who sometimes comes here and posts will shoot 100 sets and 8 hours of video for $20K. Work it out, 100 sets, will take 10 days minimum, 8 hours of video at 20 minutes a scene 24 scenes another 3 days work. And this is pushing it with the girl on auto pilot and bored.

Working the model this long and this hard will get crap back. How much personality goes into that content?

But he tells us he shoots it all the time. About as exclusive as a can of beans. This is the only can with these beans in.
A lot of good points here. You're so right in saying that you just can't shoot a model and a photographer into the ground and expect to get great results. Sites like theses need somthing extra to set them apart from the brooding pack, and a bored model isn't going to be helping you.
