That's one dynamic. But there's also the opposite incentive of word of mouth from positive experiences.
When I hear of real people paying money on a dating site and finding what they want, that's a powerful motivator.
So we can only hypothesize whether a few desperate users do cough out more cash than a larger number of one-time subscribers would, but the later strategy is certainly more sustainable over the long term.
- ken 7y agoIt's a strange situation where they're literally telling you the great thing they found on that website is no longer available! It's also a very personal decision, perhaps more like picking movies or music you'd like. I don't generally trust any of my friends' movie or music recommendations.
- leppr 7y agoThat's an amusing comparison, but I would compare it more to job or house rental listing sites. Of course the "item" you end up settling on is always going to be an intimately personal decision, but the benchmark would be the number of decent candidates you had the opportunity to consider, and the effort you had to expand during the search.
