After taking a break as a YSB subscriber, I'm now back again and I have to say that an already amazing website has improved a lot during the last months. Webmaster's move to a new Latin American country has obviously done wonders to YSB. I mean, so many new hot lads! I'm especially fond of Lorenzo and Renan. These two latinos alone are worth the subscription fee. I also love the fact that you have started filming the boys when they are trying on sexy swim wear at public beaches. It's such a turn on to know that we, unlike the beachgoers nearby, later get to see what's hiding under the bulging pants. Another great improvment is that you now include subtitles as well as offer video clips in higher resolution than before. Keep up the good work!
I am however not that pleased with the new huge watermark, which I find a bit intrusive at times. Don't get me wrong, I definitely understand that piracy is a problem for websites like yours and I'm aware that some respectless thieves try to edit out watermarks so that they can repost other people's stuff as their own. I'm therefore more than OK with watermarks. What bothers me though is when watermarks sometimes very briefly partly block the view of interesting stuff like underwear bulges, genitals and under the towel shots. So please, please, please bear that in mind when editing the videos. =)

Hello, I'm really sorry for the delay, I had some urgent work to finish for YSB, and also a sponsored session to deliver.
I'm very happy to read what you wrote, and I think it sums up nicely the changes to the site.
I'm glad to see you've noticed them, which probably means that other members have noticed them too.
Yes, as you have noted, in addition to some "technical" improvements, there are also a number of new, young, slim, handsome, very straight, Latino or Black guys with big, juicy cocks! 🙂 All that we like 🙂
And yes, I also like Allan and Lorenzo a lot, because they have a very nice body and because they make real "sperm fireworks" ! 🙂 (With Allan, the first time, I was even shocked when he sprayed the wall behind him :-).
Indeed the subtitles are another improvement, and I can tell you that it takes time to do and it's tedious, but I find it's much better for the viewers when they understand what's being said! 🙂
Regarding the videos, yes now I do everything in 1280x720 (HD) or 1920x1080 (FullHD), however it will take time.
It's an improvement that's only starting now, I intend to "uspscale" most of the old videos, but also to stabilize them, and that REALLY takes a lot of time ! (Maybe it will take two or three years to process the old videos, and at the moment, since August, I haven't even found the time to do that, as the computers are running (and heating) a lot all the time for the new clips).
Concerning the question of the watermarks, I think you're talking about the ones we can currently see for Gabriel, Renan, Allan, Lorenzo...
These watermarks have an opacity of 15% for black and 10% for white.
Since a few months, I've reduced this to 10% and 5%, but this doesn't apply to clips already made, but only to future clips.
These are the clips where the subtitles do not have a grey background behind them.
I don't know if I'll ever have time to redo the 10 and 15% clips again, but if I ever do, it won't happen before two or three years, simply because there are only 24 hours in the day and it all takes a long time to process.
But at least you should know that little by little the new clips will have much more discreet watermarks.
I've tried to make it even more transparent, but it's no good because you can't even read it anymore.
As you have understood, there is a real problem with piracy, I sometimes see some of my clips where the bandits have removed my watermarks with a software, and when I think about all the efforts and money it costs me to make these very difficult little productions (with "normally impossible" boys!), it makes me sick, literally. Sick to my stomach, physically.
So unfortunately the watermarks will always be rather visible, otherwise they are useless.
But there's a trick: just don't focus on it, and then it's much less annoying. It's true that sometimes it falls "in the wrong place", but that's not often.
So that's all I wanted to say to you for the last few days! 🙂
Thank you very much for these appreciations, which encourage me in this work which becomes almost every month more difficult.
Thank you for your loyalty!
