Some big sites suck. Some sites run by big programs or professional site management companies suck. It doesn't mean your site should suck too. 
Join a bunch more sites. It never hurts to routinely join the top 5-10 sites in your primary niches and look at what they do as well as what they don't do. You want to at least equal what they do and ideally you want to exceed it.
It's ok to be a sheep but much better to be a shepherd.

Oh I agree man totally. The "big" site's Members Area was basically 50% upsell, and quite aggressive about it. Unlock this, upgrade to that, join this partner site....ok I get upsells but that was a little much.
So yeah I am going to join a few more sites this weekend. My content IS top notch and vast, ranging from pure amateur stuff all the way to 4K UHD. So I know my stuff sells. I just want the Member experience to be better. I also don't want to live through a 12 month nightmare trying to upgrade to a CMS while also running the rest of the business.
But that's probably what needs to happen. LOL
