Walmart buys and sells on volume, hence being able to move a lot of product, have to buy more, bigger discounts, more money.

I fail to see how porn would compare? Model's wages fluxuate with the city/country, and economy. Rarely going down to begin with. So who's going to eat it on the cost cutting you propose? The company/producers? Hardly.

As some others have said as well. If you are too low cost, then you are considered inferior by some of the seasoned porn patons.

These also tend to be the people who sign up, rape (d/l) your site, for their $24/29/39 and then cancel. Coming back the following year to do the same (i.e. no residual). While it's nice to get their $24, I think any company/WM would agree we prefer the rebilling customers. Not the types I just described above.

$24 doesn't cover even a fraction of the cost for models if you produce original content. So why would I want to fire sell my shit for $10? Have more people doing the same? Nah. I'll pass.

As the cliche goes, I am Macy's, not K-Mart.
