The question to answer is "what works for ME, with my methods, with my sites etc". Not posing the question "what are the universal rules" to a bunch of mindless twats, all lacking in even basic level math and reasoning skills who spend 90% of their day commenting on government conspiracies, republicans or blaming tubes for their many and persistent failures.
You are talking about complex system with a multitude of variables, any one of which (or combination), done well or poorly or being entirely absent can dramatically influence the outcome, independent of price points. One tiny variation in variables can have a massive influence on outcome. This is the very problem of predicting the weather. Everyone's many variables are unique to them and also tend to be highly fluid and changing. Everyone's answers are unique to their own unique experience and also tend to be dynamic and ever-changing.
Test test test. Create rules. Test the rules. Test some more... then act accordingly.
There is a reason that the most emotionally flawed, insane or dysfunctional people in this industry typically have or do make the most money. They don't ask questions. They don't doubt themselves. They don't think about consequences. They act. They act with ruthless and tireless repetition with very little self doubt or questioning.

Spot on with your analysis. I always say what works for one business doesn't necassarily translate to another (which is why these 'How are sales this month for you?' threads are so funny to me; "sales are great!" and "sales suck!" are always in the same thread, proving my point). Cams vs dating vs paysite membershps vs penis pills - apples and oranges.
But even if you run paysites chances are YOUR paysites are differant from mine, in content, design, overall approach. So even then information is subjective. This is why I always A-B test every change I make and act accordingly. Example:
I recently raised prices but also changed my Join buttons so that they were BIGGER and EASIER TO READ. LOL Guess what? 22% drop in sales WHAMMO. Changed the old buttons back = 22% rise in sales (or, back to 'normal'). We're talking about changing the Join button from 21 pixels high to 30 pixels high, a 9 pixel jump in size. That equaled a 22% drop in sales. LOL
Changing colors, buttons, this or that, all of it affects sales so i agree totally with your analysis. I started this thread to see what others are experiencing because tho i agree 90% of people in this adult industry are fucktards it doesn't mean I can't learn from their mistakes (even if they don't realize they're making them).
