there are 3 types of people/programs who try low-cost trials:

those who rely on upsells to make their money rather than on subscriptions. these tend to also have popups unless you opt out, and also tend to be PPS programs.

those that offer enough value to keep their members - either huge sites, sites with more frequent updates. sites that give members access to large networks or microniche sites.

those who don't understand the model and either expect their smaller standard site with no network backing it to rebill or those who plan to make their money on upsells but don't know how to make that work.

of the three, the most common ones i run into are the third type - they start a smallish normal niche site like college guys with average content, average models, twice a month to weekly updates and don't understand why they aren't making rebills.

I also know that some review sites frown on them.
