It has gotten so bad that I have begun turning away buyers who want to send traffic to porn paysites. I know they won't make a profit so why waste their money? Dating on the other hand is very profitable with bought traffic, as are cam sites. Skimmed traffic has rarely been profitable for paysites, even 5 years ago it was tough, now it's pretty much impossible.
I disagree with you on this one my friend... We have made a killing in the gay market over the last year. The gay market are still buying paysite memberships in droves. Also Amateur and GF are doing very well as well... I think obviously some of the other niches are having a tougher time (ie. Teen). I'm not arguing with you over the fact that obviously people aren't pulling 1:100 ratios anymore but there is still good money to be made.

P.S. Cams and dating are still doing awesome as well. Our biggest buyers are in those 2 areas of the biz
