I totally agree with you, we could almost include dating, which, in our case, surfers got burnt so hard by greedy owners that the trust factor is gone.
With that said, what I’m noticing now, though, is with my shift into AI.
The real stickiness isn’t in selling another membership, it’s in giving people tools to create and explore. With AI, you’ve got users who aren’t just clicking and leaving — they’re learning, experimenting with prompts, playing with LoRAs, building their porn fantasies, stories and galleries. You can add to that chat, voice and now full NSFW clips.
Retention feels completely different. Instead of the old model of “get a click, get a rebill, hope they forget,” it’s actually fun and engaging — people are interacting with their imagination, not just their d*ck. That’s why I think this lane has legs; it’s new, it’s addictive in a different way.
