Again, this is the 'small picture' attitude I don't get about this industry. I'm well aware that half price doesn't double sales. There is however a price point where even the most frugal customer goes "You know what, it's worth that much a month" so they rebill forever. These companies that are sitting on millions and millions of images and videos that are web ready are missing out on a chunk of the market that they should dominate. Done right you would see the first paysite with 500k to 1 million + members rebilling forever. Content is cheaper than ever, this makes it even easier to keep piling on the updates once you run out of your own stock.
I'm not saying a new player should jump in and try to offer something like this. It would obviously be much easier for one of the top 10 or 20 companies to pull it off.
Oh, and you would not need affiliates for this kind of site.
There are also a lot of other revenue streams you could look into with a site boasting a high number of real, happy customers. I don't mean shipping off your customers to a competitor either.
