Not all is doom and gloom though - dating sites and similar are doing well and will continue to - people will pay to meet others, if they perceive the service adding some sort of value, such as easy of search / profiling matching, background checks, member-only events, etc.

Another example are content sites that innovate, such as utilizing virtual reality in which users can be immersed / interact with the content, also have a bright future.

But innovation often takes much effort - so for folks who don't have the desire, time, money, etc to do so, likely do best to sell and move on to something else.
