What's the point of opening your own pay site?

Degrading? Might be a nice way to drive away potential customers, actually. If the guy is bi he might want to do his own personality-driven site, one that respects the members and himself.

I had 3 paysites in partnership with 2 friends back in the day when even non-exclusive content was expensive, my bills to keep them going were roughly 3K a month and I ran them for about 6 months.
Signups were plentiful back then but I got tired of the workload and I couldn't see any of them getting to the point where I'd get rich so I sold my share to my partners for 4 double Wild Turkeys at the local pub.
I haven't regretted it at all. Owning a paysite is a different kind of work than what most of us do now and once I was rid of them I started enjoying the biz again, and making more money.

That's probably a better idea, I don't really know that audience. Just doing a little armchair speculation, based on some of the sites I've seen out there.
