And who do you thing content providers sell to? Sponsors. We see their trend of what they can afford to buy for the members areas, exclusive and non.

And who do you thing we mix with? Other content providers and we discuss business.

So are you saying sponsors are making a fortune?

Paul.. always appreciate your posts. May not always agree but always agreeing is never healthy

On this price point issue I have to disagree on numerous levels. The main being this. We did beta test reduced price points. From gallery offers to social campaigns and everything in between. The bottom line was this: Reduced pricing did ZERO to the # of daily joins and number of people who rebilled . What is did do was devastate the test sites profitability.
No Trend I said the customers, as a whole, don't think what we sell is worth what we charge. Mayne because we still sell what others give away for free. As Gleem says we need to change.
