But I can get the 100th one for free too.

People? as in more than 1 i suppose? Ok, I will give that to you, "people" will always pay for that... I suppose it is possible two or more people in the world would pay for a flat image.

cams and dating wont replace paysites but tub sites will replace most pay sites.

Well, it depends on what you are selling. If your paysite consists of more than just images and videos, such as interaction with the members then it should still hang on.

There is enough porn out there that it can be and will be recirculated and regurgitated several times. I believe there is enough porn out there now that if someone sat down and started watching every free porn video on the net 50 years from now they wouldn't be 1/2 way through it all. Not to mention pay sites still are producing new content every day... which is being stolen. Also cam shows are being recorded and used for content as well.

Crappy companies who put shit products out and rip off customers aren't really worried about building a brand. If you cut out the "middle man" then there will be a lot less people finding out about your brand. Less affiliates = less traffic = less branding (exposure).

If you look at my program and see X% or $X PPS you won’t succeed for long. I believe this will eventually become true for all programs in the future. Gone are the days when affiliates sold a program, they will need to sell a product.

Affiliate program is a live and kicking well for cams and dating, and some pay sites. The affiliate model may be getting thinned out, but it is not going anywhere.

one thing really doesn't have anything to do with the other, money can be made from both of them.
