I think calling the adult paysite model outdated is a little over reaching. Adult paysites are out of fashion because of piracy, not because the model is no longer appealing to customers. Paying a monthly fee for access to media is still a pretty popular business model. I pay a monthly fee for X Box Live, Netflix, HBO, Showtime, Hulu, etc. So it's not like charging a monthly fee is some sort of crazy notion that customers aren't interested in anymore.
I'm not defending the adult paysite model, but calling it outdated means you have to call all those other things outdated as well because they are basically the same thing.
What's the difference between me paying a monthly fee for Met Art or a monthly fee for HBO? Are the business models that different that one can be called a dinosaur and not the other?
