As for the free content you're giving out, it diminishes every dollar VIP's have spent buying the content at full price. I'm not really sure how you came to this business decision but it confirms that VIP is a a relatively useless expenditure.
My guess: Buy these "freebies" now because when they roll out whatever improvements they think VIP will be in the future, the VIP price will increase to $249 a year.
