There may still be some subpar rips floating about, but nonetheless, these past few months have been better than they've been for quite some time.
Some recent HD rips are absolutely flawless, CJOD-165 probably being the best I've seen this year in terms of video quality. Doesn't lose any image quality and it plays absolutely smooth.

Of course these gifs lose some of the image quality due to heavy compression, but you still get an idea how smooth the actual HD rip plays. Also, no watermarks. (Still a 2 minute ad at the beginning of the video but all things considered that's really not bad.

hmm..freedl.org vids seem pretty good at 720p and much smaller file size..and the watermark is small too...but selection is less
The new 1080p torrents 44x / 7sht.me = 168x.me = 77x.me = 789x.me / all have varying qualities....choppy sound / vid playback / vid Ads at beginning of movies

After all the shifts and currents, I still prefer thzla, they now upload smaller batches (as few as 20 vids per drop) more frequently, sometimes daily. They have also added some online-only (non-DVD) vids into their regular drops. (which mess up my scrapper, oh well it's a good problem to have)
My current complaint is they are not as comprehensive for some (fake amateurs?) studios/series that I like (while continuing to include grandma porns). E.g. they used to be reliable for OYC- vids but they have missed quite a few around OYC-200's. So I have to go back and look for either 77x or 168x if I need a vid and it's missing from thzla.

Further from last post, here are a few vids that I want but missing in thzla releases in recent months:
CESD-675,CESD-676 , MIRD-182, RCTD-167
I guess most of you don't feel my pain, assuming you each have your workflow you are comfortable with.
My workflow for last couple year is super simple: scan thzla's drops maybe twice a week or so, pick out the ones I want and send the torrent files to the NAS box that perform the downloads.
That worked enough because I trusted thzla to cover (at least) all mainstream vids but of course it was never fool-proof as I sometimes come across a cover that I like but was skipped by thzla. Sometimes I noticed it too late and it become slightly difficult to find.
But if thzla fails to cover non-minor studios like CESD, Moodyz and Rocket, that breaks my super-efficient workflow and I have to go back to stone-age checking multiple sources for new releases and wishing-hoping for decent FHD rips from one of the groups.

JaponX ones are pretty good but they decided to apply blur effect on their watermark on the top right, and it seems like the logo is getting bigger...
I avoid dioguitar rips like the plague because I fucking hate the long fucking ad at the beginning, and sometimes he puts short ads in the middle of the fucking video like some fucking commercial, dioguitar rips need to die in a pit of fire and shit

They started putting ads IN THE MIDDLE? Good grief! Also, you mean JaponX has their own watermark and now they are blurring it? Or they are providing other tips and blurring out someone else's watermark?
I don't think it's all their rips, but I have experienced it a few times now, just casually letting the video roll and watching and then suddenly it cuts to some loud obnoxious ad for a few seconds and the went back to the video... it was actually shocking, didn't expect that, so I've banned them from my download list if I can. The JaponX watermark, what I meant is that they have their own watermark on the top right but they've just made it bigger and there is a blur effect behind the logo to make their watermark stand out more. for example MIAE-357 rip
I have an example of the Dioguitar ads in the middle of the video, check out SW-596 on sukebei, the only rip available there is the dioguitar one, there is the 1 minute 50 second casino ad in the beginning as usual, but at the 6 minute 50 second mark, he seems to have injected an ad in the middle of the video and it's almost a MINUTE long too...
it's easy enough to use avi demux to get rid of the ad at the beginning, but if you try to remove the ad at the 6 minute mark, it's actually difficult because avi demux only does keyframes, and you actually CAN'T select the 6:50 mark with the keyframe selection, you could just not use the keyframe, but you would be deleting significant amounts of actual video content and RUINING the video itself. The sneaky fucker this is practically destructive to the actual content itself, I implore you all to NEVER download dioguitar rips.

Asking people to do the "socially responsible" action instead of the "me!me!me! first" action? Yeah, good luck with that.
Really, the majority of intake out there doesn't care about the bad watermarked rips, like you say, its about instant gratification. The bad rippers simply have quicker access to titles physically than anyone else so they flood the "market" before anyone that can torrent a good copy?? There are plenty of decent watermark free content out there it just isn't being shared.
we can't really complain can we... this is piracy after all
if you guys want the best copy then get them from the official distributors... at the same time you're actually supporting your favorite AV actresses

oh yes, they still share good movies, but they put them in SH¡T STORAGE sites... fvckin slow speed for free users and u have to pay the fuckin membership for 15 to 30 bucks... that's not enough? well, let's put the movies in DIFFERENT SHITTY STORAGE SITES... wish there were only one global storage service, but HELL NO... let's make tons of it... fvck that!
