If the content is exclusive there is no need to update every day. Once a week or once every two weeks is fine.
Good feedback.

Keep in mind, my background is in niche and the mom and pop, smaller studio and independents. You are not going to get a lot of recycled content on mass, or even annual. You are going to get new all the time.

Maybe that answers the question right there. Not on this, but on how niche players are not feeling the pain like a lot of others. Smaller studios, as well as niche, simply are not having the drop off in sales and members a lot of the programs, affiliate, and board folk claim to be having the past year or so.

Unique content. More of it. Lower capital expense.
