Add to the list.
We charge $30 for something customers don't think is worth $30.
And won't change.

As for free porn, we led the way in getting free porn onto the Net and spent more money on it than the members areas. Maybe that has a contributing factor to members saying goodbye.

I welcome the shrinkage, however I think there will be more free porn sites being made because less paysites will be made as everyone tries to jump on the free content wagon to try to earn a buck. Maybe it will be good? I think in the end Dating sites and cam sites are the only things viable long term for the big bucks, unless of course you are putting out awesome exclusive stuff like you Dave!
If you charge $30 a month and can't compete with free sites, whose fault is that?
