Not to mention those members cancelled few months earlier now returning to see new updates/additions will be prompting to chargeback also
Very true, the rotating idea will work for some sites that retain for a few months but not those with a better level.

The members want new unseen content to jerk off to and if you do not give it they will go find someone who will.

With the cost on new non exclusive content so low I would say buy this to back up your exclusive, assuming it fits the niche. The surfer is only interested in whether he's seen it before and does not care about it being exclusive. Just don't buy the cheapest you can find. you're looking for content that is sold 1 to 10 times, cheap content sells 50 times, trust me I know the difference.
