Then again, members generally don't join paysites for the feeds.

really?
why does a surfer join a site then? photos? stories? pretty colors?
Rolo, I went through a period about 2 years ago where this really pissed me off ... paying an absolute fortune for really average feeds that are also being used by free sites. I stopped leasing feeds and haven't touched my adult paysites since.
The feed companies realized about then that they could make as much money off free sites/registration sites, so why restrict themselves? makes it hard for those running paysites to find reasonably priced content that hasn't been reused over and over.
The paysite business model these days is worse than trying to climb everest with no equipment. The day when a TGP had more content than a paysite was the day I stopped bothering.
If you own paysites AND portals (tgp, link lists etc), then the formula works ...
