Somehow you and everyone else seems to be missing the fact that customers are encouraged to load up their wallets with $10 or $20 or $50 at a time. It will pay affiliates fine, plus lifetime revshare. Not that this is how it will be implemented, history has shown us that porn companies are greedy to the point of shooting their own dicks off for an extra dollar today.
As for $100 payouts, I think cam sites have proven that this can be profitable when your customers have the option to buy unlimited amounts of content after they sign up.

As there importance dwindles and the news gets out of this type of deal they will find it tougher and tougher than they do now to get a sign up. Traffic means sweet FA if it doesn't buy.

There will always be a must see video to get someone in the system. Also, new credit cards are issued every few years, not to mention different cards. It took a decade of unbelievably heavy promotion for Clickcash to get pretty saturated, I'd love to see the numbers on how much they have paid out over the years considering how much they paid stupid old me.

The other downside is it has to be content owners or content buyers who run this. Anyone splitting profits with a content owner simply won't make it pay. And what's the point of splitting it with a content owner when content is so cheap? Why split all future payments when you can buy the scene for pennies?

Absolutely incorrect. That is the same old 'old school' train of thought slipping in. Clickbank sells products that other people made. They take $1 per transaction and 7.5% and are hugely successful. Affiliates there make up to 75% and yet content producers keep adding products, I wonder why?
The reason you want multiple content providers to participate is variety and scale. You go buy 50,000 videos to get started, not many have the resources.

Yes I see it being done in the future. Better than I did it. But it will come and it will work. Maybe someone who owns lots of content and has loads of content like Manwin will see the point of doing it and not paying affiliates or content owners. Then upselling happy $5 customers to a $30 site. Or another $5 site. Costs can be adjusted to suit.

What exactly do you think Manwin is doing? I'm pretty sure they aren't planning on $30 recurring memberships to pay the bills for another 5 years.
