Question 2
About Business models.

-29,95 Memberships are often reffered to as a "sale" in our industry. Would you agree a buyer/surfer/user could possibly see it as a long term commitment costing $360 per year just for one site and he/she joins at a point that he/she is horny and where the mind has been taken over by lust at that point?

-29,95 is cheap for a heavy user. That's $1 per day. Let's not go into hours or minutes.
If a user watches many ours per day, the hosting/bandwith would become expensive after the affiliate get's the lion share of the sale. Say an affiliate gets 50% to 70% of a sale, is the bandwith still affordable for a heavy user or does everybody, like insurance companies, use a calculation of the average usage based probably on many members only coming in once per week/month?

-Every member paysite with video is actually a (mini/niche) VOD site with a (recurring) membership model. But why don't these sites (and there are many...!) offer access based on HOW the surfer WANTS it at any given time ? Like per minute, per day, per call, per week, per GB, per dvd, per scene, etc.? Is the 29,95 membership model based on fear that the client will not return? Could it be a surfer would pay 5 or 10 just for ONE day or an hour and DOES come back for more later and is willing to pay more NOT to have a recurring membership ? Most people pay for sex because they are horny and want to see it NOW but as we all know 10 minutes later...the need is gone and the mission was accomplished. Click and exit the screen/tab/browser...See you tommorrow, next weekend, etc.
