One of the few consumer content sites to generate substantial subscription revenues is www.classmates.com. At one point, it reported more than 3 million paid subscribers. As a former colleague once remarked about it "who knew so many married people were looking to have flings with their high school sweethearts?" Of course, classmates.com parent United Online pulled its S1 registration in late 2007, so perhaps there's a trend here. The subscription numbers don’t surprise me.
