Sorry for the necropost, but I think it's an interesting topic and I want to write out my response.
1. Real changes. I guess I'm an all-or-nothing type guy. Like, why would I want to spend 20, 40, or more minutes on a file for a fantasy scenario. It's why I tend to avoid imagined physical changes files, even when they fall into my wheelhouse of interests.
2. I'll echo what a lot of people have said here: I want to see (or feel) the intended change as rapidly as possible. Of course, I also know that most files require time. So the trick is to see steady changes until the endgame or I no longer wish to listen.
3. I used to want to listen to as much new as possible. Now my hypnosis interests are pegged specifically enough that if I'm seeing (or feeling) consistent results I like, then I have no qualms sticking with a certain regimen. But if I hit a stage where I'm not seeing steady results? It starts feeling like a waste of time and I'll miss a day... and then two... and then a week... at which point I drop the file(s).
4. At this point I'm sticking with two closely linked themes. There are many more themes I've hit in the past, and would engage in a whole hodgepodge of files before realizing I wasn't going to be able to devote the kind of attention to those themes that I needed to in order to actually see changes. Oddly, I do something similar to slutinmyhead insofar as I'll take several files (usually the TTS of several self-penned scripts) and listen to them at the same time. Perhaps looping them while trancing to a file I downloaded (currently doing that with Sarnoga's G File), or just looping them on low volume while not trancing.
5. My fiscal situation right now is dire. So I haven't even ponied up for premium since sometime in the summer. However, I would definitely consider spending up to $10 on a file if the idea really appealed to me and I trusted the creator of the file (ex: slutinmyhead, sarnoga, elana, etc). It'd have to be more of a novelty idea, and instead just a good core file. Like, if I was into furry transformation, it'd be the file I listened to every night, with perhaps a rotating set to accompany it depending on my whims. Bonus points for originality. I almost pulled the trigger on a love potion file over the summer, but the activation of the file was a bit too specific to be useful to me.
6. Mostly I keep my file interest quirks close to chest, so maybe instead I'll use the space to give a brief note about phrasing. I am drawn more to files that are so-called "curse" files, under the belief that they're "stronger" than non-curse files. Now, I'm not an expert on any of this, but it seems to me that there is a certain negative connotation to the term and concept of "curse"--which makes them automatically kind of an "against your will", "bad influence" type file. EMG curse files especially embrace this by wrapping in a lot of shame and humiliation-type suggestions. So my thought is, why not go positive? For a person listening to a hypnosis file looking for real changes, it seems like making the whole package positive and free from humiliation and shame would make it easier to embrace the concepts being presented. I've listened to several "curse" files (insofar as being permanent/addicting) that avoided using the term, using a more positive approach to crafting the suggestions. Had to stop listening to the one because I realized it was going to be TOO effective and I wasn't that devoted to the probable results.
7. Anonymously preferred, though I do comment occasionally on these here forums, so I guess not anonymously enough.
8. The ability to be able to craft myself against natural inclinations. To make certain areas of my life a conscious decision by using files to train the subconsciousness. And so there is an erotic element of forced change there, yeah. Although it is forced change with my own self guiding the wand, so to speak--either by my conscious file choices, or by actually writing my scripts.
