Yes but would you pay $29.95 if it included Netflix, Hulu and Roku altogether?

I do see that discounts in porn are quite popular nowadays...

Exactly. The problem with lowering your pricing is what you have to make up in volume is unattainable for most sites. A Pornhub (or Netflix) can do it because they have millions of people hitting their site daily. Even larger paysites cannot keep this price point for long so they only offer it for a short time.
Deal sites, or discounts, will always be popular to a segment of the buying public but it should never be "the norm". Again, if you cut prices you have to double-triple volume in order for it to be a good move. CAN you double or triple your traffic overnight? Doubtful.
No, better to get that $120 (average) per customer, either in one $99.95 pop or a join + 2-3 rebills.
