But let's not under estimate the value of branding a tube site can bring a paysite. Would Blacked or Fake Taxi have been as huge without tube exposure?
I have a question about your content - I get the impression that you mainly buy cheap non-exclusive stuff, and if that is actually the case then what is retention like once they get there? Branding may help get them there but what keeps them once they see the same stuff the tubes probably already own? Or is the play to just count on the boost in cam rev or cross sells?
