What happens then is that their disposable incomes rise, they get CCs and suddenly start upgrading. Thats what ive recently found with a lot of Indian users, some of whom signed up years ago and are starting to buy subs.

Ive also recently found this to be the case with certain GEOs on dating sites, especially AFF which is suddenly upgrading a lot of asian and in particular Indian, Malaysian and Thai users. Infact, not sure why youre blocking Thailand.
What if you go broke or jump out of adult before hell freezes over?

The "I send them somewhere else" = "I can't bill them, doubt if the next guy can. But who cares I earn a few bucks."

Shows the level of honesty of some. Assuming the next guy can not bill them either.

Concentrate on selling to the markets we can sell to and not squeezing a few bucks out of those we can't sell to.
