the guy is right though. recurring membership sales do exist to try to get as much money out of the members as possible and hope that people forget. companies (not just porn) thrive on getting people in to paying for something or even giving it to them for free, as long as there is recurring charges. Hell direct tv just got me with that shit, gave me 3 months free for Showtime I didn't want it but he said it was free so like an idiot (like most people) i said ok. So of course idiot me forgets to cancel and see i've been paying a couple months for it. It happens all the time.
With regards to porn sites (pics and videos) he is right even more. A customer sign ups for 1 month and gets access to everything you produced since day one, thousands and thousands of videos. So that is a good deal for the price. So the next month, you expect him to pay same price $30+ for those hand full of new updates you will make that month. What is the value in that? Everything he liked he could have downloaded it already as well so he doesn't need to pay to keep seeing it. The only thing new he is getting for his $30 in month two are those updates you made (most sites don't make many if any). Lets see, his first month $30 for 10,000 new videos (to him). Month two $30 for 20 new videos. Not to mention he is also right about all of this porn being out there for free and easy to find so you have to more than ever give them value they can't get someone else for free if you expect them to join much less rebill each month.
to the question... Did the OP over react ???
I think you handled it a little over the top. You look like you took offense and was very defensive to someone who is willing to pay and is giving you a lot of honest feedback. Even if it wasn't what you wanted to hear. Not to mention he is right about everything he is saying. I didn't see where he was asking for everything for free stuff. He said he would pay to access your site but he didn't like recurring memberships and he stated he has signed up to other sites before. Granted I would be pissed too if I caught him sharing my shit for free though.
