This is nothing new.

Here is why people join paysites. If it has a cheap trial they get access to a ton of content for just a few dollars. Even if the site doesn't they pay around $30 and can get access to a ton of content. They then download it all and end up paying just a few cents per scene then cancel their membership. It is still a good value for those who want access to a lot of stuff. There are many networks out there that will give you access to a few thousand exclusive scenes. That is a lot of porn for $30.
Which would be fine if 1000s didn't for the one who does. Argue with the numbers, you still get what I mean.

There's another problem with bringing down the prices. It assumes the site has something unique the buyer has to buy, as he can't get this brand for free. Well that applies to a handful of sites. Few a very few have something like that. So what ever site A &C do to get the free loaders back sites C-Z are doing little to nothing or just loading their content on free tubes.

Argue with the numbers, the principle remains the same.

so out of the box it was done years ago with clips4sale and many others.
Clips 4 sale is fine for Ma & Pa and part timers. Fail.
