I'd say profit margins in adult have normalized tremendously over the last 10 years but in reality they're still pretty good when compared to brick and mortar businesses. When affiliates complain they can't make $100k a year by working 6 hours a week then have they checked what it takes to make the same amount of money in MLM, insurance or real estate brokerage?
Insurance agents blame online insurance comparison sites for the demise of their profit margins, travel agents blame Expedia, real estate brokers blame Zillow. Adult affiliates blame Manwin.

I also knew big aff's that worked very hard and made big money.So it wasnt all lazy people raking in cash but it wasnt reality and was going to end. All those industries were effected by the web but they didnt giveaway someone else's work therefore making the product worthless. A house bought on Zillow is still worth $200k, its not because of Zilllow you have to throw in 5 extra houses for the same price. Also centralized traffic sources are a very bad thing because they call the shots and its not like you can go somewhere else.
