I can understand new paysites with exclusive content finding it hard to update due to cost, finding models etc, but even they could use non exclusive sets to keep the updates coming. Really this is a very bad business practise as we all know that regular updates keeps members retaining.
these are not new paysites and many are owned by programs that make literally hundreds of thousands of dollars per year if not more, so i'm pretty sure they simply don't choose to update - the non updating paysite in a network of mostly non udpating paysites is a business model for some companies.

The internet is all about the next best thing. Maybe the made all that money by keeping a steady flow of new products like a conveyor belt thing. Maybe paysites do have a shelf life. Maybe after a few years they all go stale unless they are totally re-invented.

maybe so, but one of the sites i reviewed today has 8 videos and some more had 12 or 14. i doubt there's a shelf life quite that brief
Actually I've been thinking about this. Maybe this is a strategy based on research.
Maybe these programs know from experience that surfers buying memberships don't rebill all that well for their plug-in filled member's areas, so they have weighed the costs of producing more exclusive content versus just capturing the initial membershp and they calculated that it's not worth it -- or the costs are too high.
Does that make sense?
Let's say I have site and I have produced 20 movie clips and made my members area. If I invest another $3000 in content every month, am i getting that money back in another $3000 in new memberships or is my return the same if I do nothing because new traffic keeps buying?

And I think Husky Hunks has a point, too. I mean, isn't it a lot harder to sell an AVS membership these days than say in 1998. Haven't so many people already had one and they didn't have a terribly satisfying experience, so why bother getting another one? Or maybe you bought another membership and not much had changed, so why bother?
And I'd say with a sites like Sean Cody and the like a surfer could probably buy a membership, chew up everything they want to see and cancel. Then they could come back in six months and buy another and do the same thing. They'd save themselves a heap of money. And maybe eventually Sean Cody just becomes boring because the content is always created by the same people, so while the guys are the different, the set-up never really changes.
Another example is Next Door Male. The guy sits on couch, he pulls out his cock and gets hard watching porn, he jacks off for a few minutes, and then, he stops and has a shower, then he comes back and finishes off on the bed. This happens over and over again. So after a while a surfer must get bored.
