Sure you sell a ton, if I could buy new cars for $15 and sell them for $30 when everyone else is trying to milk it I'd be the biggest fucking car dealer in the world. It's not good for the industry period.
Don't take this wrong as I am not pointing fingers at you or anyone else. After the model was fried it's damn near impossible to reverse it. That said a solo girl site with 30 sets of content starting out sounds just about right. Now when someone can manage flaky models in bulk and have a network of girls involved in their sites, they will have gold.

This is the evolution of an industry. By your rational a movie in the theater costs $9 a ticket therefor Netflix should be $99 a month or since HBO runs ya $10 extra a month Direct TV should be $200 and change. $29.95 for a membership to a porn site, no matter how much content is outrageous. $30 for a single girl site is outright larceny. But its sex related so the consumer will pay it. Eventually however prices and profit margins will come back down to reality, as it does in every industry. (Look at Playboy subscriptions starting at $1 an issue) As much as the online industry drives technology, eventually we will look at mainstream companies for their marketing.
