The point is some people get addicted to a certain girl, and sign up for her solo site.

This is my view of many solo girl sites.
When asked by two of the guys who wrote the book on solo girl sites to shoot some Czech girls. They were unable to pay $400 a scene, shooting 4 a day. They wanted us to shoot 5 scenes a day for $1500. For a total of 40 scenes. Yes $12,000 for a sites entire set and video content.
When asked if one girl we had would sign up exclusive for them. They offered a contract worth $20,000 a year.
Very very few solo girl sites can afford to employ a girl full time.
Basing a business model on thinking porn buyers will "fall in love" with a girl in a porn scene is ludicrous at best. Retention in those sites tells the truth.

There are some shitty things going on. But it doesn't mean that the human desire for novelty will ever disappear. I see movies at the theater because they are brand spanking new and there is something exciting about that. Every once in a while, against my better moral judgement, I surf a tube site and download a bunch of flv's with Orbit downloader. A lot of them get deleted. Some of them have a girl that is so charming though -- that I literally DELETE the file after 2-3 minutes and promise myself to signup for the site because I don't want to spoil my enjoyment of the particular girl in shit ass quality when I could enjoy her in HD.

Spot on. This industry has turned around 180 degrees in the last 3 years. Yet people still insist on putting out the same old content, good or bad, they've been doing for the last 10 years. Novelty catches people eyes, no matter how much you tweak a tour, if it's full of the same old tired scenes it won't sell.
If the girl is not interesting enough, even in a great new twist of a scene, it won't sell well. And for me if I see ten scenes from the same site are all the same I turn off. Even the best ideas, best girls get boring if repeated time after time. I don't usually like sequels, we seem to think making sites full of them works. That's my personal tastes.
