Yup, they do, but time and time again? Let's say I login to get my jerkoff material I bought as a micropayment (it's only available as a secure stream, but shit I don't care, cos it;s proper streaming, so I can skip back/forth to the areas I know work - 1'35", 5'13 etc)
Same goes for ex-members - I've been tracked as a member, so the vids I've watched are always available to me online (streaming only) are always available to me as ex-member (ymmv - cancel this to ex-members after x-months if you want). Or only display vids with ad overlays every x secs, whatever.
Point is, in 1 month how many vids will a member watch? A micropayment guy only has 1. A member may watch in a month 40, but 10 over and over.
Months down the line, (maybe with some email prompting), he will still login to watch that vid (especially so for micropayment guy). Maybe he's a fanatic and will login to watch that vid every time when he wants to jack off.... *IF* you didn't have that option, you'd have long lost him - now he can see your new content (that he cant watch of course - see the thread I just made on this as an idea) and well, with the trailers, he's ready to get his CC out again (the BEST type of freeloader is one that already entered their CC details ;) )
if you get where I'm going.... it does work - not huge %s in my own dealings (1-2), but then, I'm not a big idea guy, just the one that implements them. Nonetheless they are captured lost sales. And (this won't go down with affiliates reading), it was a sale that was cancelled, so if the corp got the sale back under their own steam, it's all profit, which is only fair.
