Agree. I think this illustrates the decline of paysites.
People who were consuming seem unlikely to now go to webcams and Dating in the numbers that were buying memberships.

2) if ads are affiliate links, how is most of mainstream porn not already now ad based? Or how was it EVER different? The vast majority has always been traffic feeding sites.
Agree. I threw it in to see who would realise it. I was knocked off my chair when a big sponsor told me of his hosting and BW bill on his free stuff. In those days members areas held the most content, free areas always held the most surfers.

3) big companies always buy smaller ones, that's just standard business
Agreed. Always expected it to happen. Most small businesses and business men are unable to grow and develop. The way its happening today with online porn is what I find a shame. Big Tubes are squeezing out the little guy by soaking up a 1,000 surfers of whom 2 would buy and now lucky to sell to 1. Numbers just to illustrate the point.

But this has always been the case with online porn. The higher the number of surfers climbed the worse ratios got.
