Have a "wallet" type payment that a surfer can top up as he goes along deduct according to BW downloaded, charge by the days logged in charge per scene as you say. And more.
All harm the side of the business Stocktrader is in, traffic. It will mean surfers will pay less initially. They may stay members longer or they may convert faster. We don't know.
What we do know is it will have to be members areas that keep members buying and that means paying shooters more. It will mean less money for traffic, initially and with more being spent on content this will mean that money will have to be found. Only place it can be found is the "traffic" costs.
The "marketing" wil count for less, because marketing stops when the surfer sees the site. When he signs up, it's 100% down to the content of the tour. Not just the pictures and videos.

What you are describing has been around for a while. There are many sites that offer pay per view. The pricing might not be great (in all honesty I'm not sure how much they charge) but there are many sites out there where you can pay per minute or pay to just watch one video on the site and nothing more. If you just want to watch 8 minutes of a movie, that is all you pay for.
Even if you came up with a world class system that delivered a ton of great content at a very good price that the buyer could pay per minute or video watched etc you still need traffic. The best site in the world is nothing without visitors. This isn't Field of Dreams. If you build it, they just don't show up. You still have to market the site and get people to i.
