You think those people are going to join another paysite in their liftetime? nope.... and now why should they? There is a grip of free porn out there for the taking.
Sadly, i have to agree with the "adapt or die" comment because well.... we have no other choice. the guys who are piloting these sites that rip people off and/or give away all that free porn have DEEP DEEP pockets that honest webmasters will never be able to match. So its time we put our thinking caps on and figure out how to flank them.....

Those cross sales are the worst thing for the business!
Why sell a surfer 564984651214 sites for a 1.99$ trial that rebills for 12321321654.88 $ (with an affiliate just getting 35 to 200$) if you can sell him 20 sites for 30 $ where you make 60% revshare (=360$ + rebills).
Unless stupid affiliates start to learn some math that they actually loose money by promoting those 200PPS programs. But I guess most affiliates live in cages and think 200 bucks once in awhile is better than a bigger check at the end of the month.
