I'm not sure. The statement was in reference to polish_aristocrat's and wiredguy's remarks about retention. I'm not sure if it effects retention or not. Trying to look at it from a surfers standpoint, if I was a surfer and I came to a Review site, I immediately believe I have access to the best sites on the net because I can look at all the top rated sites. Instead of joining one of them, why not join using the trial membership on multiple high ranked sites, nevermind staying at one. Curiousity alone would probably lead to this. But does that mean retention is reduced? I guess not if the surfer finds a site that he really likes, but your site better be good because he has lots of others to choose from at any given time.
