Seems to me this industry is suffering a bit from the Law of Attraction. If you put up a tour with a guy shoving a Coke bottle up his ass and you say, "thousands of pics," then the implication is that there are thousands of pics of guys shoving Coke bottle up their ass. If the surfer doesn't get them they feel ripped off.

If you offer a $3.95 3-day tour and don't say it's for a limited part of the site, and the surfer needs to upgrade once inside to see more than a handful of videos, then the surfer feels ripped off.

If you say the biggest, the most, the hottest, the horniest, etc, then you'd better deliver.

It seems to me that a good part of this industry is run on deception, some would call it creative marketing, but whatever you call it, if you steal from people they will steal from you. Now, I'm not saying everyone in this Industry steals from or lies to surfers, but we are all a part of a larger industry that does. I read reviews of sites and movies that reviewers say are the hottest thing since a summer blackout in New York City, and I think, "Did I see the same movie? It was crap."

To use the Blockbuster analogy, if a customer rented a movie from Blockbuster and 20 minutes into the movie the screen froze and they were asked to call a toll-free number and purchase the rest of the movie, they'd scream bloody murder. If they rented a movie with Cameron Diaz on the cover and she wasn't in the movie, they'd be pissed. If they rented the movie, but then a month later their card was billed for a Jennifer Lopez movie they didn't know they were renting at the time, they'd be pissed. And if windows kept popping up on the movie trying to get them to buy something else, they'd hurl their DVD player out the window.

It seems to me the surfers and members treat online porn exactly as they have been treated, maybe not by you, but by many people in this business. So they have come to expect a lot for their $24.95, and in fact, they'd prefer not to pay it at all.
