Exactly, they tested and found it was not more profitable. The problem isn't the price point, the problem is actually busting out your wallet. The only thing Porn.com can hope to accomplish is tanking (or at least destabilizing) this industry even faster IF they cause all (or a significant amount of) sponsors to have to lower their prices in order to stay competitive.
I shouldn't need to tell anyone here what happens when everyone's margins shrink that much that fast... and everyone else's (who didn't lower prices) sales hit rock bottom.
Porn.com would do better NOT to drop their pricing like this... and especially not do Adult industry Press Releases. If the majority decides to hop on board, we're going to see the end of the adult industry as we know it brought on in a rather violent and abrupt manner.
