That's the real lesson and something we need to get if we are to turn the industry around. It seems to me there are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands who will but a scene or a clip and often spend good money.

Yet paysites are clinging to the 30 day membership join and it's increasingly failing. Yes there are sites with 3 day joins and I know we do very well out of of it. The $5 sites do well, even with the magic join buttons, and are still there getting members and making us money. I know affiliates don't like the idea of 50% of $5, but will affiliates decide our future or the customer.

A buyer on a Clips site is often paying more for a one off clip.

What lessons can all we learn for our long term future?
