The real problem is the business model is flawed...

The first payment buys 100% of the content.

The next months buys just the updates, and the the bigger the site is or gets the less value the 2nd 3rd and 4rth memberships buy less and less value.

If you throw content at the problem, so that the site is so big they can't download it in a month i doubt if the quality is good. Hence every model is shot and not just the most beautiful. Creativity and originality go out the window in a race to the bottom. Encouraged by review sites that measure sites by quantity... It is happening with normal TV too as programs get worse, audiences vanish , revenues collapse. programs get worse...

We try and reflect this buy having a fair price for the first membership and then a modest fee for the rebills $10 for 3 months, or $50 for a year. We are surprised how many choose to pay for the more expensive option. Maybe just to have access to the films without having to download them to maybe a family or work computer.

As we build our collection of unique films we will rotate old films out and new and old ones back in, to give say members 30 films for two weeks and 90 film over the year. We will then increase the fees to reflect the amount of content supplied.

These are not clips though, but scripted exclusive films with plots and music about 20 minutes in length.
