The world of porn is not as perfect as it seems in the videos. The sites that we recommend are doing so much for the industry. They release many scenes on a monthly basis. They promote the porn stars that deserve to be promoted. But some of them also have some shady parts in their underneath.
If I were to change anything in the porn industry, I would change the way the networks are trying to milk the members of their money. I get that the production costs are enormous and that the memberships must be kept at a minimum so that people would join the networks. But making more money at all costs is never a practice I can get behind. This article will talk about cross-sales, automatic renewals, and how to make sure you’re not paying more than what you intend.
What Are Cross-Sales in Porn?
Cross-Sales on a porn site are the little boxes or choices selected for you before you hit the pay button. You will find them in the payment form of the site. Sometimes they come as extra access on a partner site for a couple of extra bucks. Sometimes they can come as trial membership to other services that the network is providing. They will go completely unnoticed by most members. Especially when you are joining a porn site in the heat of the moment, looking for a movie of your favorite porn star and wanting to get to it in the shortest time possible. But it’s better to know about them and always check the purchase form for all the pre-checked and pre-selected cross-sales. Disable them all before you finalize the payment.
What Are Automatic Renewals in Porn?
Almost every site runs on automatic renewals, or sometimes called recurring memberships. This strategy ensures that the members will be charged for another membership period once the first one expires. Most sites will have automatic renewal on all the membership options, They will only stop charging your bank account when you cancel them manually. Other sites only feature it for the one-month and three-month membership period.
Another thing porn fans must know is that all the trial memberships are coming with automatic renewal. You will be charged a couple of bucks at first for two days of limited access. But when the trial period ends, your membership will renew itself, usually for a monthly one. On top of that, the first one-month membership will also renew to another one-month membership until you cancel it manually. Porn sites usually send a notice when they charge you money, but still keep an eye on your bank account and make sure you are not paying for sites you don’t use anymore.
