Seems like a waste of money to do that with exclusive content.

Yeah, I did when I started. It was not too much more expensive, and it is easer to get listed with exclusive content, so I don't consider myself out of pocket. Plus I have since reused the content a lot. But I have not done this for many years because I can buy content a lot cheaper nowadays, so the price difference is greater.
