Sure they have, they just haven't implemented it yet. In fact, they went straight to free with upsells / ad spots which was another previously ignored business model.

Even the most honest person wouldn't finish watching a free version of his video then go buy the paid version, especially if when they searched for it, the free streaming version was number one in all the search engines.

If porn wasn't streaming in nearly 10 of the Alexa top 100 websites, some of the things you guys are talking about might work. But porn will require something totally different that has yet to be invented or thought of.

I'm NOT defending the current porn business model as it is obviously flawed, I'm just saying that mainstream ideas such as the one by Louis CK don't really compare.

Same with Hollywood movies, if several Alexa top 20 websites were streaming full television shows and movies, Netflix would go out of business in a few weeks.
Everything the man does is on YouTube. Is that not an Alexa top 20 website these days? If you have a price point that is reasonable and don't make people bend over backwards to use your content they will reward you.

Yes, nowhere near the same. On a paysite, especially one that is pretty damn small, $10 is about the same as $30 to a customer. Why take $10 rebills when only a few % less would pay $30?

There will be a cheap recurring paysite in the next few years. It will be loaded with content and have the best retention this industry has seen. Even if it weren't exactly a cheap recurring membership there will be some sites with unique monetization that pop up to fill that void.
