I sure do. You're trying to say running a paysite like magazine is the way to success. I am saying you cannot really compare the two, because one is based on having advertisers keep them afloat, by having 65% or more ads from cover to back. The other is based on zero ads, and all content.
You cannot run a paysite like a magazine, because in the end the subscribers are not where magazines make profit. With a paysite, your "rebills" are everything... Im not trying to argue with you, I simply understand how magazines work and comparing them to a content-based porn site disregards how magazines actually profit. Mag subs average $12.95 - $29.95 a year, that barely even cover the cost of the books and postage ;) You think magazines put huge ABSOLUT ads on back page because their subscribers are making them money? lol
Anyway, really, you asked for input regarding your idea, I just posted about comparing paysites to mags.
I only replied because of this:

Magazines sold month after month
So we gear a site to be the same.
