Why are the ratings vs comments ratio so different?

When I have given points to cards, I have always tried to see the cards as a construction of these three separate things:

1) Quality of the model (according to my preferences of visual beauty)
2) Quality of the performance (not whether the model does the things I want her to do, but rather how well she does what she is supposed to do, unless her performance contains material I very much object to)
3) Technical quality (colour balance, resolution, sharpness, sound...)

For general usability, number 1) is least important. People can see what the model looks like and somebody else's review of her looks should really have no relevance on the buying decision. It really functions only as a feedback to Totem: whether you do or don't want that particular model to appear on iStripper .

Numbers 2) and 3) are much more important as motivation to other members to buy or not to buy the card.

I would like to see these three aspects of a card to be made separately reviewable. Of course that wouldn't prevent some members to ***** the system as they are doing right now, but it would perhaps make them analyse their reception of the show a bit more thoroughly.

I agree. I reviewed a lot of cards this last month and tried to provide insight into the content. Whether a model is 'sexy' or 'gorgeous' is up to the indivdual making the purchase.

I think the ultimate feedbac for whether we like the model or not that the team cares the most about is the volume of sales, though. Something we have only the most basic control over.

In 2019 112/362 * 100% = 31% were Big Boobs. In 2018 70/358* 100% = 20% Big Boobs.Is iStripper becoming a Big Boobs site? With more Big Boob models (I have nothing against them!) iStripper will attract more lovers of Big Boobs, who get disappointed, when there are new models who don't have Big Boobs and they rate them down. A vicious circle! .

Since you brought up that data I decided to do more digging to see if there is any validation to istripper becoming a big boob site.

First lets look at the data in the years since the release of 3k cards on how many big boob cards were released each year.
2014: 73
2015: 135
2016: 47
2017: 46
2018: 70
2019: 112

So as we can see, 2015 was the year with the most big boob cards that were released post-3k. And in that year there were many lovely and great models. We even had Katya Clover, Melisa, and Sapphira A who were highly voted and had high ratings.

So while I think there is validity in the concerns, I just don't know how much it factors in when Viola, Lucy Li, and Nekane were all highly rated and alot of the highest rated cards were Big Boob tagged only for the next year to go down 65% in total Big Boob cards.

So my conclusion is that, is that the data shows that Big Boob cards aren't taking over or replacing consumers. Maybe the higher amount of Big Boob cards brought back some people? Girls like Eva Elfie and Kecy Hill seem like a good mix of what you would be looking for.

The ratings do factor in sales, but it does seem like consumers have an eye for what is definitely good. Belka is an example of card that got so many ratings in a short time and is the highest rated card ever with 575 votes averaging 4.89 stars.

Respect your reviews @zzmaskers , they are so helpful! Keep up the great work :)

Th rating system looks innocent, but it isn't. Ratings have far-reaching influence on future sales of model and cards.
Popularity leads to more popularity (only be broken by involuntary recieved cards as result of gambling, Black Friday). Unpopularity leads to more unpopularity.

There is a tipping point, on which the anonymous rates of the collectors have a nearly decisive vote. This can have as consequence that only a certain type of models will be selected. It's like the famous wings of the butterfly, which can cause the beginning of a hurricane (a small something can lead to something very big).

In 2019 112/362 * 100% = 31% were Big Boobs. In 2018 70/358* 100% = 20% Big Boobs.

The iStripperteam must look out for ***** from customers who like other type of models. It is for them to dance on a balance cord. Since new models like Isabelle or Sherice are selected, I keep my trust in the wisdom of the choices of the team serving different tastes.

Well boobs are a favorite of men throughout the world...maybe not you...but many many. It is a main tag on almost any porn website. I can guarentee you that totem does not care about the effects of ratings...and I have doubts that there is strong relationship between sales and ratings. You have to remember that buying and rating are two separate acts. THe people who rate tend to do it politically...either to give a 5 or 0. Every monthly sale the ratings are all screwed up because people who prebuy are angry when they get a bad card, and inevitably all cards during a presale are rated lower than they would be. Totem manages its recruiting of girls by visa availability, cost, and time availability. Then they worry about oversaturation of one fetish or another. I would have to see an actual single variable study to believe that ratings actually drive customer habits. Boobs do drive customer habits however! :)

PS: I do love your reviews even though we have very different tastes. Even when you point out something you don't like I end up buying the card because it is something I do like.
