Of course it's not the only way he'll sell it, same as you selling a scene for a set price but still offering memberships or cam shows.

Porn is most certainly profitable at $2 per scene. Go add up how many scenes you have, figure out your average customer retention and see just how much they are paying per scene. And that's not counting the fact that you will have a whole new group of customers to sell to that have no interest in $30 per month sites.

Even if it were true that it wouldn't be profitable for YOU to sell $2 scenes you are nothing to the overall industry. It's profitable for them to give it away for free right now, whether you stay in business or not is meaningless in the big scheme of things. If you can't manage it someone else will.

Most here would shit their pants to see how much people spend when the price point is reasonable. Billions of dollars in apps because the price point is a non issue. Everyone you know buys $1 or $2 games on their iPhone or spends $5 here and there on Facebook without blinking. How many do you know paying $30 per month to look at a solo girls website and actually remain members for more than a month or two? $30 is not an impulse price and the only reason it ever worked is because it was new. The direction this industry is going was inevitable, as in nothing done or said would stop it short of legislation that would put most out of business.

How many game developers do you think cursed to hell and back about $1 games on phones? How many recording artists bitched about $1 songs on iTunes? How many Blockbusters bitched about Red Box? You aren't even making new arguments, you have all the history needed to see that you are hoping for a dying model to be revived. Not happening.

Sigh.
