Quality beats quantity every time. I'm really happy with 8 minutes as there are a couple of stellar stranglings in it. And Jenny Cherry as well. Bargain.
But also...
Everyone has a choice. If you don't want to pay it you can always choose not to buy it. No-one is forcing anyone to buy a video.
For me, I'll buy any video where Jenny Cherry gets strangled. You produce high quality stuff. Please don't compromise this.
Right on! Quality is very important to us. I know how several producers work, some actually stretching out the video with ad libs and overlong scenes, just to make it appear that it is a longer video. Customers often fool themselves into thinking that a 20 minute video with 5 minutes of important content is a better bargain than an 8 minute video with 8 minutes of quality material. Length is only one factor. In fact, one of my favourite videos is only 2:45 minutes long, but it contains an awesome 2 minute strangle.

I appreciate the production values, the staging, dialogue, and of course the incredible beauty of the actresses. I don't need length, I need focus. I typically watch my videos in an editor so that I can jump to the parts that turn me on most, or repeat things I really enjoy. Sometimes I'll shorten a copy to set to loop on the part I most love. There are long videos from other studios that I've cut WAY down because I didn't enjoy the slow pacing. Others that I've avoided because their actresses were unattractive to me, either because of excessive tattoos, smoking, or other traits. That's NOT demeaning any actresses, it's citing my preferences, just as some may not like stabbings or shootings.
There are subscription sites so dishonest that I've had to cancel my card and get a new number because they wouldn't provide any way to cancel my subscription. There are even sites where I've seen a couple of the same actresses and found them to be used so poorly that I couldn't enjoy them! Some sites, the chloroform scene has the woman out in 10 seconds with almost no struggle, or the ligatures are laughably loose. There is no way that I would enjoy 30 minutes of unrealistic video nearly as much as 10 minutes of quality acting!
I've been a customer of Bluestone for quite a while, at this point I have no idea of how many videos I own, but I'm sure it's North of 450, including Director's Cuts, and Collector's Editions of videos I already owned. I fully appreciate and share his production values. I will argue all day long about specific element preferences and costume choices, and I will lament on the fact that some actresses won't do topless, but I have no interest in debating sacrificing production quality for length. One of my Favorite White Angels, 9.5, came in under 15 minutes INCLUDING TITLES and a brief recap, and in that time, Claire died once and Danica three times! It was wonderful!
