Back when I first started out and getting into 3d hentai, I used Iwara mainly as a platform for exposure. Which videos that released today get more than 5k views? Those are the most anticipated uploads. As you get more into the scene, you grow higher expectations and increase your standards. For example starting out with Adler, kaos, PAISEN, YuukiS and then growing out of them as you diversify your kinks and slowly phase them out for other creators.
Iwara lets you blacklist a couple of tags, and I personally recommend using Koikatsu as one of your blacklisted tags if you like Iwara but don't like the 10 million koikatsu videos that get uploaded every day. I blacklisted koikatsu about a year ago and it made looking through Iwara so much better.
You could also make a configured search and then bookmark the link, like minimum 90 sec + 500 likes etc.
