I'm sure some sponsors do shave. I've seen them openly admit it on another board a few years ago.
A good sponsor really does not have to shave if they are smart. I'm not that brilliant and do not run a paysite but I do see some moneymaking opportunities that they have to increase their bottom line. Upsells inside the member area.
Offering bonus sites when a member wants to cancel their membership.
Offering a bonus site for a single $ on initial sign up that rebills full price.
The obvious: console sales

I'm sure there are hundreds of hooks I have not even imagined.

With the cc processing the way it is nowadays you do have to wonder wtf is going on sometimes tho.....
