That apart, the topic is a little naive, because we really can have no idea whether the payout is affordable, only possible with shaving, or simply set to buy market share.

haha...
thats kinda funny. i was about to post some remarks about how no one even really had a clue as to how much money cam sites were making until after 2000 or so. all we had to do was show a cool video console to webmasters and say "hey, free video for your members" and BAM! instant volume of the highest quality traffic on the net, massive sales and webmasters saying "whatever, i just want more free content can you give us more of those "Free Feeds"
500.00 - meaning total money spent divided by total users that spent that money. 500.00 is a fairly average number and not spectacular by any means. while you have been promoting cams... i have been running the sites and studios since 98. at one point, i had over 250 employees. so i am not guessing at the numbers.
paying 100.00 per join is affordable for established sites and its not necessary to shave. time online and total models online are massive factors as they both lead to and support larger volumes of repeat spenders. interclimax was doing this before 2000 and i knew their numbers at the time. they didn't have to shave... but obviously no one would believe this and they weren't really excited about the prospect of getting the point across by screaming "our members are worth more than you life" because it was just a matter of time before competition exploded.
