People have been buying and trading porn before the internet even came out...
Adult sections of video rental places.
Why someone would choose to pay to see someone they have a crush on, or saw in a free clip on a porn sight and wants to see the full version, or other content that person created.
The answer is the same as why pay $500+/hr for the same thing another girl might offer $50 for... it's a choice of preferance. The selection is out there. You may not see the need to pay for porn because you don't get much out of it. You have any favorites? For some they are picky and looking for a certain kind of content, some by a certain provider specifically.
They get to have discussions with and develop parasocial relationships with these people on screen. Free porn is just seeing it, OF they can actually reach out and message the desire of their affection, and be responded to back. For some people in relationships they don't see seeing on screen and talking/messageing as cheating on their partners, while some do. Some relationships it is ok if he watches porn but if he touches another woman, the line is crossed and it is cheating. Reasons for subscribing to someone is the back and forth contact, that you don't have on the free porn, and being notified any time their ATF, post a new message/video/pic.
