My theory is one guy did it and then a bunch of others thought it would be great and make them more money.
Some price points or discounts do better on repeat/bookmark traffic sources. If you are in the top 20 for a length of time you will have been exposed heavily to the loyal base, so giving a discount can help revive it.

And.. Review site members don't retain that well, not bad but def not golden. So the discount would help spark loyalty with the Paysite and it helps give the review a better return-purchase rate since it is at a discount.
