Prediction, please bookmark it.

By 2020 there will be a few major paysite companies left and a few micro-niche ones run by devotees of that niche. The rest will be gone of hanging on by their fingernails. Most rightly predicted the demise of offline porn and I'm saying the same for online recorded porn.

Webcams will be dominated by girls who can market themselves and talk to the customer in his own language. There is an opening for companies to do that under one roof, providing cheap billing, a screening portal, and software. Plus some help in marketing. The problem for the studio system is it's easy for a girl to market herself and find customers direct, including those who will spend big bucks, than it is for affiliates to throw traffic at studio sites. A woman can sell herself to men looking for a woman, far better than men who have no clue who he is selling.

Dating will be dominated by the Big Boys. Those who can afford professional marketing teams with budgets that allow them to have proper marketing campaigns.

So plan for a future, while squeezing all that's left out of the business, that won't be kind for the little guy working on his own throwing traffic at pornsites ad hoping someone will buy.
