Your thoughts?
This part is right, the rest is wrong.

People will PAY for good content that fulfills what they want. However, most of this industry thinks they know what their fan base wants, and doesn't nor cares to ask. The feed them what they THINK they want and are surprised when they do not buy.

The BROgrams build, on mass, these 30-50 scene pay sites for a program, which they never update, and then wonder why they do not retain? They do not invest in new content, and just build new sites to look like they are the big time, and wonder why customers do not buy. They are getting scenes advertised for sites that do not offer than scene, then feel jaded for $29.95.

I could go on and on with endless examples of this but I defer to my previous remarks. Most treat this like a get rich quick scheme or a hobby. Not a BUSINESS.

That is why they fail.
