Legitimate, established online porn Wal-Mart like sites (non stolen content) with daily updates are running a crazy rat race with huge turnover & unnecessary expenses.
When I talk to these guys and we share stories I'm blown away! Even though they have daily updates, expenses are going up and they can't raise their prices past rock bottom because of perceived value and their production resources are tapped making diversification difficult. They've tried A/B price increase testing and they lose too high a percentage of members every time. The organized crime theft of their content is out of control, which greatly affects their tight profit margins too.

The same thing happened to the DVD market. Prices remained stagnant while costs and piracy went up making the cost of making them not profitable. It actually amazes me anyone is still shooting content these days (the ones not subsidized by the big tubes).
I've read the only way to succeed at raising prices is to have a long term strategy. meaning you will lose Members at first but they will come back in time. That never worked for me. I keep things where they are and just try to add value. For those shooting content weekly I don't know how they do it anymore. And yet new paysites open all the time. Makes you wonder. LOL
