Production value.
I'll take a video recorded by a married couple with an iPhone over a bunch of fake people in a fake scenario faking how much fun they are having.

I would have no problem with pornographic sex scenes in properly produced films, with a proper script and everything. But I have no interest in professional production values if all it brings is better lighting and a ton of makeup and fake moans.
I'll generalize to say that what you're looking for is a genuine connection between the performers. It not only shows better consent on set (it's hard to break consent and still have a genuine connection), but it's just better in general. This doesn't always happen in amateur porn, but it's more likely. It does happen at larger studios, but they usually have to be run better.
One thing that I think Kink dot com pioneered was showing an out of character interview with the performers ahead of time. Adulttime has picked this up as well. They sometimes cut it for the versions that go on tube sites (either shortening it or removing it altogether), and I think that forms part of the argument that, yes, you should pay for porn if it's within your means. If you like something coming out of a studio on a tube site, they probably have a lot more of it that doesn't even show up outside their pay site.

Face slapping, choking, any kind of violent nonsense. I hate it so much...
And when the people won't shut the fuck up for two minutes...

When the guy talks nonstop through the whole video. If that's your thing then go for it and enjoy but it just makes the whole thing difficult to enjoy for me. The guy always sounds like some neckbeard who is getting laid for the first time in his life and thinks he's supposed to recite every cringe line from every bad porn he's ever seen. You're not who I'm here for dude 🤮
There's one particular video I've always had in mind. It's with a Czech actress who variously went by Nella, Jackie, or Jana. She mostly did lesbian and solo porn (and was big in the early days of Sapphic Erotica), but there is one MF video she did.
There was a guy behind the camera with a cigar who would not shut the fuck up through the whole scene. The guy she was actually fucking for the scene seemed fine, but the camera/director/producer/whatever needed to leave. There's a point where she looks like she's about to come while also wanting to punch the guy in the neck. You can't help but think that this scene was why she only did scenes solo or with other women from then on.

The weird... aggressively "barely legal" crowd....
I want to see characters that are relatable, that are my age
Like, this woman's had a divorce, she's sick of her job but doesn't want to be back in the market yet, she is on her second car and her third long-term relationship. She keeps forgetting where the soap is and buying more by accident

How they all seem to end with the guy jerking himself off onto the girl's face while she just sits there.
I am not here to watch you jerk yourself off, dude. If you just have to cum on her face for whatever reason, at least let her be the one to make it happen.
I vaguely remember a standup comic from maybe 25 years ago who had a joke about being at a gas station, and suspecting the attendant was moonlighting as a porn star. Just before the fuel tank was done filling, the attendant pulled out the nozzle and sprayed it all over the car's hood and windshield.
For that matter, the focus on the penis. If the primary focus of a shot is the dick and not the woman, then it's cock porn. I'm not here for cock worship, man.
Anything that comes across as fake, but especially long fake nails or in fact long nails of any kind. Please don't put those near any sensitive spots.
I say "comes across as" because all porn involves performance. It's about believability, not authenticity, at the end of the day.
Ahegao
Anytime the girl says shit like, "Oh yeah baby do you like fucking my pussy!? Does my little pussy feel so good!?"
STOP IT. STOP. IT. PLEASE. UUUUUGH. So not appealing.
"Uhh.. yeah uh. You're pussy's alright, ma'am."
tips hat
slapping. no idea why that is so prevalent. I swear im not looking for it.
And spitting into mouths. And onto dicks. I mean if you're doing a whole degradation thing then fine. Not going to say it's never hot, but if it's just sex between two people and not hate fucking, count me out. Also throat fucking until they either puke or just snot comes out of everywhere.
And if you're going to do degradation, I need a pre- and post-sex interview of the bottom (edit: I originally said girl, but that's just how I roll, same would apply in reverse—I'm just not excited by femdom) saying how they are into it/loved it. Degradation with full consent and proper aftercare can be hot but I rarely see that. I think there's like one company that does it right. (And no I don't remember the company because frankly I don't watch all the much porn these days. That company might've gone under a decade ago for all I know.)

non consensual scenarios. i know it's all acting, but it's a turnoff for me, and kind of disturbs me that people get off on rape fantasies
Fake moaning. Fake dirty talk
Jackhammer fucking. I dont want to see some woman have her cervix be pile drived into the ground.
The view from behind where we get to see some ugly dudes fucking hairy balls dangling.
Are some of my top ones, but honestly I dont like professional porn in general. Its just so fake.
I'd rather watch a grainy video of a couple amatures absolutely loving what their doing, than watch some stuff terrible play acting profesional porn in 4k.
You managed to nail about every peeve of mine in one short comment. Bravo.

When I forget my bluetooth is connected to something else in another room. Where is the volume? Then I panic.
Always turn off Bluetooth on your phone when not in use.
In addition to not letting the rest of the house listen to your porn, it helps with overall security as well.

Excessive moaning. Male or female. They sound like they're having a tough shit, not sex.
"Sexy" talk that amounts to verbal abuse.
The popularity of the incest shit is weird and seems indicative of a larger issue in our society.
Degradation being the rule and not a niche.
When guys rent open the actresses' asshole like they're looking for their car keys in there.

Choking. I spend a fair amount of time in kink clubs, and the choking you see casually thrown into random porn would get you thrown out of all of them; including the ones that allow choking.

Obviously fake noises and high pitched voices. Just talk at normal volumes and make moans and grunts and other non-performative noises, thanks.
Yes, I know that even doing that is performative to a degree, but convincingly realistic is better than B movie performances.

One of the actors being really not into it, faked or not.
If they aren't all clearly having fun, like in those fake rape videos, then it isn't for me.
When the guy keeps fucking the uglier of the two girls and the pretty one is just kinda sitting there.
When the girl doesn't even get full naked. You've been fucking for almost an hour, why is your top still on? I wanna see your tiddies already!
No story or talking or setup at all.
When a girl is keening/moaning for no reason. She's not being touched, or anything, yet she's super loud. Breaks the willing suspense of disbelief.
I don't watch porn anymore, wasn't much on it anyway, because I watched a video of a woman on Reddit whose husband constantly set up multiple gang bangs for her, which she claimed to love and posted photos and videos of, but I realized when I played on how detached and disconnected she looked from the whole process, and that likely she was being largely forced into it by her husband. At one point she moved the wrong way and the guy who was basically using her slid out, and she just said "oh sorry" as if she had accidentally stepped on his toe. It was just depressing.

When a girl starts rimming the guy
Me finishing
When a pov cuts to a shot showing both of them on screen, I'm not trying to Astral project mid wank.
Wanking is a lot like remote login.

Ameteur porn: shitty camera angles and shaky cam.
Professional: Fakeness everywhere.
Disingenuous love or none at all.
Overly produced.
""Sssss, haahhh"
Doesn't care about woman's pleasure. Blowjob leads right into sex.
She's obviously dry.
The cum is fake.
The guy is half hard pushing rope while she's pretending too hard that it feels good.
Circumcised penis, especially if it's an oral video.
Gambling site ads embedded in a video.
A grainy video shot on a tripod with no studio lights with people who actually like each other is better than 95% of the garbage that gets posted. I prefer erotica written for men over videos. Even when it's written cheesy it's still better than most videos.
Censorship, mosaics, black bars. That kinda thing, it's ridiculous, achieves nothing.
Spitting. It grosses me out so bad when people spit in each other's faces or mouths. Ugh.
Professional porn is also unappealing. Anything that feels fake.
When guys refer to their body parts by female terms (like a guy saying "fuck my pussy," "make me pregnant" et cetera).
When they are clearly on meth
usually, cumming
Choking on cock
Excessive "oh yeah" 'ing, like it's better to be quiet than make fake ass noises to play it up.
Excessive choking
Anytime the girl looks like she's not actually enjoying the sex. Fake or dubbed sound. Choking or slapping (see first item).
I also usually find any talking (sexy talk) to be awful. I don't have a problem with it in concept, but in porn execution, it's almost always super bad. Camera man talking is universally bad.
