Flawed analogy. I don't often pay for premium features then stop visiting a site!

Where do you see that?

> "At the end of the day, a paid member of a freemium service is often more involved than the free account holders. He or she might log in much more often and begin to make full use of the new features..."

Martell is saying that if you are paying for the premium, you will visit the site.

Right. Which is why the analogy is flawed.

If you are paying for the premium, you will visit the site. If you have sex with someone you have been dating, you may choose to move on to date other people.

Get it?
