I'm just gonna keep dmca'ing those down.

I'm giving porntube a shot because they have a nice set up and I'm in control. I simply do not like it when a site like xhamster allows people to upload my full scenes and they know damn well that those are mine. And yet they just put them up there and make money off of other people's content.

That's just stealing. And it will come back and bite them in the ass. Kim Dot Com thought he was above it all too...
I would think that too. You can't give out 100% of your member area and still expect people to pay. I admit I don't know everything but this seems logical and in line with basic business principles. At the same time as you give out more you would expect the ctr and conversions to get worse past a certain point (much like setting price points). So to keep it sustainable you would have to continually chew through content which you would need to keep submitting. But then again does the surfer really care if you have 10,000 other videos if they already have what they need for free? I wonder because most surfers don't have any idea of what really is in the members area before joining. You would think once they have enough accessible to them for free they would stop joining at some point.
