Are the majority of paid dating sites real or lots of fake profiles and owners using any means to keep the members recurring?

If the answer is yes, do affiliates sending them traffic know or care?

Question comes then... Would a bigger industry or a smaller industry benefit the overall Industry more? We can see which one is better for our back pockets.
The biggest problem with the Adult Internet is the level of entry. The lower the bar the more who can scramble across it.

Hypothetically, if we removed free porn/piracy, assume the Industry rebounded. It's almost a sure thing that we would see another huge spike in super fraud programs/people. So maybe a smaller, tougher, harder to make it Industry is overall better for the Industry... less attraction for the scum, thus they move off to easier targets, like apps.
Ending piracy will not add much money to the pot. Manwin can afford to put up movies they own. The industry drove down the price of content to a level where they can afford to take your traffic.

Putting all porn into members areas would help.

Would a smaller tougher industry of been better? Not if it was run the same way as this one has been run.
