It will make no difference in sales or rebills volume. You can charge $10 you aren't getting more sales.. and if you did, you aren't getting 3 times the sales, ever.
The money difference in the higher charges, will offset any increase it would have anyway, by astounding amounts.

Rebills go up very slightly on a lower charge, not enough to lower your price for sure. I'm not arguing this point but $60 is a step up psychologically from $20 - $40. The problem I have is that all of your arguments involve not only sites that contain content worth more but also that it won't be stolen and posted for free 100 times over. Do you think the number of tube sites is going to magically go down? Is your content not video, perhaps going back to images? Does your content involve interaction meaning you will have to depend on the models sticking around? Whatever it is I hope it's not "keep making videos and they'll be worth more because it's so valuable~" since this has been going on since the beginning of video cameras and the opposite is happening.

People do pay $60 a month for porn memberships.. to single sites, they spend $100's of dollars a month a single porn site, several of them actually.
I'm the wrong person to think is stuck in old ways... I'm without question one of the most forward thinking Webmasters in our Industry.

I'm familiar with what they **will** spend, I promote webcams heavily. Saying you can make your sites $60 a month without a problem is a lot different than doing it. Porn customers do not feel that paysites are worth what content owners want them to be worth.
You say you are forward thinking but this industry is way behind on the direction the internet is taking. I absolutely hate tube sites but you know what, they are mirroring what's going on in mainstream when those roles used to be reversed. I'm watching Hulu while responding to this.
