Swedguy - I have a different perspective.

Take sites like Bangbros where the quality of the pics in the members area is all over the place from crappy 30-40K pics at 600px to 250K pics at 800px not to mention the ridiculously big size of their "watermark". I would have thought their production quality would be better given how successful a sponsor they are.
Or Nastydollars sites where all of their pics are pretty good quality in terms of clarity but they are all 640px and under. That was fine a few years ago, but they aren't keeping up with the times. They should offer at least two sizes of pics IMO.
On the other end of the spectrum is Twistys where they have only the large size pics in their members area and they don't do much compression. Lots of their sets are above 1200px and 200-300K and they do not offer lower res versions.
Anyway, in my own longwinded way, not all surfers are confident that they will get good quality members area pics. I know I'm not confident that sites will have good quality pics inside. That's one of the best reasons to check out the members area.
What the hell am I saying... I dont know... I'm babbling...
