NOBODY

I don't care if you update with 100 gigs of exclusive content everyday, its not going to happen. Its just the nature of the beast.

Sponsors used to pay 35-40 per join without cross sales because in those days retention was much better. As more and more people get into this business, there are more and more paysites for surfers to join so retention drops.
People used to stay members of a site for 4-6 months because it was either stay there or do without, there weren't as many options. Now they can cancel a trial and join another site tomorrow and have something totally different to look at.
thats not true. some sites with trials can still retain for 3-4 months. you just have to find the right sites to promote.
