ya i've been preaching that line for the last couple of years. the problem is content producers think they are worth a hell of a lot more than they are, and they don't understand economics.
case in point, one site we manage had a $20 a month price tag and only 30-40 videos. sold maybe 5 subs a week. we put the price to $10 a month and it started selling 5-10 a day. photographer gets upset, saying his site is worth more than that and he is not making enough money. so we put it back up to $20 a day and sales are back where they were.
i dont know if its stupidity or ego, but there's a disconnect somewhere.
