I think people who never had big sales before can also gain for a while too. Some guy in the third world who puts his watermark on top of some ripped video to get typeins. Maybe some really small paysite which doesn't do 30 sales a month now might see enough from the tubes to at least keep them in business. But I think people who were doing well before only lose from it. Even those doing well now from it will probably see that erode as ctr and ratios turn for the worse and competition rises.
People talk about eliminating affiliates but what they overlook is that eventually doing this might just lead to the rise of the "new affiliate" who steals all your content and simply opens up his own tube protected by the DMCA (or submits videos to them with his watermark) and makes all his money from dating and cam programs. We already see it with these "new affiliates" and the file lockers. The end result I am sure is the total decimation of the adult paysite industry as 100,000 "new affiliates" from the third world upload your member's area to any one of 100,000 illegal tubes and file lockers to make $3 per 1 million impressions.
I'm glad I'm not as much into paysites as before. It's just really sad to see this all happen.
