But over time, given the trends, eventually the well will run dry on pay site sales for everyone. It's just a matter of time.

The problem with producing exclusive content is it has to be a lot more than exclusive. It has to be great, unique and must have exclusive content. Otherwise the audience will get off on something else that hits the same buttons. This was the problem when online porn went the exclusive route.
It could only afford to go the cheap exclusive route and it all ended up the same.
This applies to crucifissio as well.
The cost of producing great, unique and must have exclusive content is less today than it ever was. Because of the lack of competition from the other avenues of selling porn. Yes you heard first from me.
Offline shooters were paid a lot more than online shooters.
So we have a deluge of sites full of poor, cloned and don't have to buy exclusive content. And made up for it with the traffic model of giving it away to get sales.
How many sites could compete with offline DVD earnings or the earnings of magazine shooters? Ultimately it doesn't matter if it was crap, wrong, not what the online surfers wanted.
It paid better. And arguing it didn't only goes to show the bad businessmen at the helm of some major companies.
Great porn will convert and attract great traffic better than poor porn. All you have to do is pay for it.
