I have a small beef with many porn review sites.
A porn review site is intended to give surfers an accurate review of what to expect in the site. In most cases, these review sites are also affiliates of the sites they are reviewing.
Now....Clearly the intent behind these sites is to be honest with the surfer but why in the bloody hell do so many of these sites bitch about DRM encrypted videos?
Surfers bitch when they can't download videos.
Site owners bitch when a surfer downloads all the videos during a trial then cancels.
DRM meets both parties halfway. Our primary target is recurring memberships...Not a one time quickie.
DRM helps with retention. PERIOD. It seems to me that these review site owners would embrace such a thing since many of them are getting paid based on a rev share program. Instead, they bad mouth it and imply to the surfer that it's not a good thing. Based on my experiences, most surfers don't seem to care unless they are cheap bastards who try to download everything during a trial anyway....Fuck those guys.
For the record.......I've tried 3 different DRM solutions over the last 2 years or so and I have NEVER received a single email from a recurring member who was upset about the DRM encryption...BUT....I have received many emails from members who were unhappy because they could not download vids before I implemented DRM.
