From our experience as one of the original 'review' sites, I'll post more later.
When we started developing our site in 2001, it was badly needed. Webmasters were getting away with too much, and it was hurting the industry as a whole because of chargebacks, etc. People were being very greedy.
Trials are what they have to be, with bandwidth nowadays. Limited trials I'm okay with, just tell the fucking customers! They have a right to know what they're buying. It's your business, run it how you want, but you really can't stop me from explaining how you conduct business to my customers.
Most good sites who stop selling trials and start selling monthly only, do just fine, and sales increase.
If you charge $39.95, it better be pretty good.
What concerns me is The Best Porn.
They are now offering "discounts" to many sites, by working deals with webmasters. Many sites at half price, etc. When I launch my next site, do I now have to follow suit? I guess I do. If he does it, I have to.
So then I guess we all have to? Where does that end.
