You're also talking from a position where you have very good sites that have been around forever and have tons of exclusive content. I also believe you guys still update your sites regularly.
But take a look at 2/3rds of the top banner spots on GFY. Look through those sponsors and sites. Sign up for a few and you'll find a universal theme. They are either filled with old, garbage, non-exclusive content or 10-15 exclusive videos. Very few of these sites ever update. You'd be amazed at how bad some of these sites are that are so-called "big sponsors".
Now I just can't fathom that these sites are made to rebill. Of course you'll have that small percent that will, and another small percent that will forget to cancel their membership. But are you telling me that these sites that have 15 videos in their members area were built to make the surfer as happy as can be? Or are these sites built to grab a surfer and try to milk him for what you can with upsells, etc.
I'm not saying that there aren't sponsors out there that don't live by their rebills, I'm saying that there are a lot of sponsors out there that don't seem to care about it.
