Pollo Marco Member 27 Posts 1/22	Posted - Aug 22 2025 : 9:54PM To me it's always seemed counter-intuitive the Adult websites raise their price after your first month of subscription. E.g., First month is $9.95 - $19.95, but second month and thereafter will be $29.95. How does this make economic sense? My view is that the value I get from the site will decline over time -- I've watched or downloaded the content I'm most interested in the first month. The value to me of additional months is less than the first month. So why charge more? Instead, I typically cancel after one month and rotate to another site to pick up its first-month deal. But if a site keeps the price level at $9.95 every month, I'm more inclined to keep my subscription. Just wondering if others see it differently or know why the most companies price their sites to increase after the first month. [Link]

Click to expand They are under the assumption you are hooked on the content and will pay. And the reality is subscribers will pay when the prices increases with the next month. I will give you an example, I will at times subscribe to a site named Joepusher. This site is great because he literally drives around southern California and finds mostly Latina girls to do porn. In my opinion it is just as good as Backroom Casting Couch or Exploited College Girls. Well a couple of months ago he introduced a "vault" offering to his content where he offered pictures and videos of girls he's been casting for the past twenty years and was charging $200 for a month. I'm not sure how many members paid the $200 bit I wasn't going too. Then he started adding exclusive new models to the vault. So the members that paid regular monthly subscription were missing out on seeing new models because he was putting that content in the $200 a month subscription. Talk about taking advantage of your members. [Link]

Membership is accepted and in the excitement of having a look around at what's behind the paywall, they forget their initial intention of cancelling their subscription soon afterwards. The automatic deduction on their credit card statement reminds them but even if the website only gets one additional payment. it's still a bonus to them. [Link]
Fuzzy Coathanger Member 84 Posts 11/24	Posted - Aug 23 2025 : 10:41AM I'm a one-and-done subscriber too. I've never joined a site that I haven't been able to mine for all content of interest in a WEEK. Most people aren't going to keep the meter running month after month. just to see a couple of New Releases every week or so. Just rotate, sign up to another site, mine that one for awhile. Then re-up to the original site in 6 mos or a year to skim all the new stuff that's popped up since your last sub. Sites are short-term smart, long term stupid by raising the price after the first month just to "catch" somebody who forgot to unsubscribe (sometimes an intentionally confusing process). Removing an unwanted/unexpected charge is as easy as signing into your bank's portal, then flagging the charge as "unauthorized". They'll be charged back and you'll be refunded in days. I consider this to be the "Nuclear Option" for bad billers/ bad sites that I've had to use exactly ONCE. Play stupid games-- win stupid prizes. But it goes without saying that we should support the industry and never do this with a charge you legitimately made and benefited from. One of my banks offers a "Virtual Card"-- a one-time-use number, exp. date and CVV that links to your regular card, but cannot be rebilled. Seems like a great solution for situations such as this. They can raise the second month to $99.99 and re-bill to their hearts content-- but it'll get them nowhere. [Link]
rearadmiral All-Star Member 6519 Posts 12/11	Posted - Aug 23 2025 : 12:56PM ^ I do the same thing. I have a roster of sites that I cycle through and add in a new one occasionally if it bills through a reputable biller. I don't know that 'virtual cards' exist in Canada, but what I've done is signed up to an online bank that had a credit card where the credit is whatever balance I put on it. I'll put sufficient funds on it to pay for a membership and otherwise keep the balance around $5 so no rebills can happen. Oddly, while my main bank offers such a card they only allowed it to be linked to my main account, so I couldn't leave a low balance since bills are withdrawn directly. [Link]
