As many more sites struggle to stay profitable and there largest spend is on traffic, affiliates, changes are inevitable.

Either ratios go back to 2007 levels.

Or many sites die and the options for affiliates lessen and those remaining become saturated with affiliates. Then what will they do?

Or sponsors rely more and more on their own traffic generation, open a Tube site.

Or payouts alter so companies can continue to survive.

Affiliates and sponsors are unable to control the situation lie they used to. If the customers aren't prepared to pay for the system the system will kill itself.

Those who don't evolve will go like the dinosaurs of offline porn. Ironic?
