Hopefully at least she does one more dancing series before you guys plop her perfect ass on the taskbar.

I don't hope so 😄

But you know, I wonder why totem should change the way they do business for a disgruntled member who buys every card they produce anyway.😀😀

I have 1100 credits sitting, I haven't bought a card in almost two weeks. My buying frequency has cut in half since 2021/2022. Should I *****, let them know that they have lost hundreds of dollars not releasing cards I like? Or should I just understand that somebody probably likes the current girls and some buy them anyway and just wait patiently? I want to enjoy the product but not donate to the product. I think they are very smart, and very experienced. They have to balance many things, but profit per card is still #1, but not always their only goal.

They do take suggestions openly on discord. If anybody in the thread wants to suggest they do less xxx, less table, go to the discord. Sheban will take the suggestion and pass it on to the studio team.

Pretty much the same here except I have purchased at least a few cards recently and I'm sitting on over 2300 in credits.

Only difference is we seem to have completely different interest in the cards we want to own. Seems Totem can't win.

I'll leave Discord to the Crypto Bros

So I might remember wrong, and correct me if I do, but I remember the team put out an summary for the year 2023. It was like a poster. I found it on discord. There it said we had gotten threehundred and twenty-thousand somthing newcomers

Of those, I believe only a few stay to become an tripple diamond/master/elite member(if the discord server is somthing to go by).

That suggest that one of the big cashcow is newcomers who buy a show or hundred, and then leave. So I speculate.
I also speculate that the newcomers like the XXX-cards

I would prefer an 70% non XXX cards and 30% XXX cards. I like the non XXX cards best. I find pornHub boring. A woman who undress or dressing up, play with her hair, smiling, moving and dancing, are so much more intresting for me.

iStripper is playing all the time when Im home, the non XXX cards are meditative and relaxing for me. I want more of those, and appriciate those Totem have made. If Totem decides to make ASMR-content, I would be all for that.

I will probably buy all iStripper cards in future, as I have been doing. I might tone down Ex-cards and Dolz-cards. If there was a way to increase the non XXX cards I would like that. Toree was a great addition, I like that Totem have take 7 with Lana Lane, and I wish for more Belka

Yeah you got me. You're absolutely right I can't really argue that EXCEPT one of the original points I made during past discussions about xxx vs non xxx is that it is the "GIRLS" who ultimately sell the product.

Even with all of my "*****" so to speak there is something to just about every show that I can enjoy and get something out of. These women are incredibly beautiful there's always someone stunning around the corner so yeah I'm suckered in regardless of how annoying the balance of content has been. Having a collector's mentality doesn't help my cause either..

I have never considered myself disgruntled but regardless I think they (the shows) can be much better than they are and I hope that someone is listening and will hopefully change something even if it winds up being *****. At least for now I will continue to reflect that until I run out of credits at which point I will ultimately decide whether it will be worth continuing.
Which is usually when another Shelena, Hope Heaven, Gloria, or Liya Silver will debut and sucker me right back in..

Totem obviously is heading is heading towards having the XXX and non-XXX cards merged but as others have stated, that's not going to work. Although 50/50 is most likely the best compromised number, I would be happy with 2 out of 6 cards being non-XXX. I absolutely ***** when models have only XXX and no non-XXX cards. At least one or two, per series, please. And if the XXX cards sell so well(I still have doubts they even do, this XXX push could very well be a huge gambled mistake), then how about stop making the cosplay cards XXX. It's a bad combo and if XXX cards were selling so well then then they don't need the cosplay boost, right?

But you are aware that cosplay cards are often done by girls like Sia Siberia, who make money doing porn in cosplay outfits?
Most of you complainers seem to forget that most girls lately are pornstars and not strippers, so they do what they can do best, porn.

^^^This! And I know this is slightly off-topic, but if Liya Silver comes back... good grief! I don't care if it's XXX, non-XXX, or even non-NUDE; I don't know exactly what it is, but that woman could stand still and just look at the camera occasionally, and I would watch every second!

Sia Siberia has plenty of cosplay cards already, there are other models who enjoy doing cosplay, too. And why exactly does she need to demonstrate porn skills in a cosplay show? What does sitting on her ass inserting a dildo have anything to do with the characters she's portraying? She's plenty capable of seductively stripping, let me guess, you're going to mention her lack of dancing skills next? The best non-XXX shows in my opinion, are when the model is calm and moving slowly and barely dancing at all. The ones that are rigorously dancing fast are being kind of unerotic.

And again you must be very young like the orclover guy. All you have to do is look farther than one year in this app's history to prove your points wrong. Porn stars have been doing an excellent job stripping on this app for decades now. They are skilled enough to put on a good strip show.

Sybil is a great example of a porn actress having no problem putting on a show. Check out 'Barely A Flame.' it's 37m long. There are 2 clips in there where she uses an 'accessory' (guess what it is; lol), both are roughly 6m long each. That eats a lot of the run time, but it's not the worse. Just because she does porn, it doesn't mean all she's good for is shoving in a dildo for 20m+. Same with Liya Silver, Nancy A, Sirena Milano, etc., etc.. They're all great.

I'd say, for the majority of the women that could use a bit of improvement, they just need a bit of direction and some prep time--or they end up like that guy from Iron Fist on Netflix. Not exactly the same thing, but when I think of real ***** choreography, that was one of the things I thought of first.

I agree with your points about the oversaturation of cosplay but I disagree with your "old school" idea that the past was better. I have almost 3000 cards, many of them from the vghd days when you could get them for 1 credit. I've been a member for more than 10 years. Many of the girls from the past might have been better performers but the show design was AWFUL. 15+ clips that were less than 1 minute. The 3 table clips at 4 minutes, many shows hardly had full nudity. How is that striptease? The girl walks on, has 30 seconds to do something and then walks off. The move to longer clips was smart, the move to more diverse clothing options, was smart. The move to including xxx more often was smart. Getting rid of deskbabes was smart. I think they have gone a little over the top though and need more balance...Maybe each girl does 3 nonxxx and 3 xxx, unless she is really uncomfortable dancing. Most of our "arguments" have been me attempting to explain WHY totem is doing something and not that I am really disagreeing with all of your sentiments. We have different tastes, which is part of the problem. Totem, as a business, has to land in the perfect goldilocks zone that hits as many customers as possible, or at worst the wealthy ones. :)

Ok, this is something we can have common ground on. When I made implications that things were better before, I wasn't talking about that far back! I started around 2015 right in the beginning of the crystal clear era. 2015-2018 were the golden years for me, but there have been many gems in recent years, too. I have a lot of older cards, too, and I totally agree that the design and direction of the older shows were awful. One thing that I dislike about the older cards is that most of them didn't have any clips where they start out nude. There is no fast forward button, so sometimes I like to skip to the naked part. It's great that most of the crystal clear shows have clips where they start out nude (with the exception of a bunch of american porn star shows that had no starting nude clips for some reason).

I think they do need to find a balance also, because the amount of XXX shows is insane right now and I don't believe the sales justify it (it could quite possibly be a foolish gamble). There is a market for softcore, just look at the juggernaut that Metart is. There are plenty of people who enjoy watching beautiful nude women without them shoving things up their stuff....

We need more XXX in all shows. Let the girls go crazy in the shows, if the want to.
Why ***** the girls to dance, even if they are not comfortable dancing in the standing clips.
I think Totem already does, what fits the abilities of the girls and maybe the girls come here to try something new.

Oh, wow, so 90% XXX shows isn't enough for this guy, he wants 100%. No dancing or stripping in his XXX shows either, he wants the old school table clip only XXX ***** that sold terribly. That is a super lame opinion. If you can't enjoy beautiful women stripping and dancing nude then why exactly are you here? You're cool with destroying a unique product that many people enjoy for essentially recorded webcam shows that are everywhere for free on the internet? And what are these porn abilities that you keep speaking of? Masturbating with a dildo does not take any skill or abilities. Nothing but XXX sounds boring as *****.
