Porn maybe long from dead; but lets think about this for a second...
Say we target audience "Y" with Niche "A", "B" or "C"
And we dump in $$$ into production on exclusive content with budgets from 15 years ago.
If it grabs an audience how long until you see it on the tubes/free sites? or full on tubes/free sites dedicated to it?
Reality is if you put your $ in just the content,.. does the niche really matter to the guy coping it and serving it up for free?
Maybe it's the billing, business models and marketing etc.. that need to be looked at.
Yes, content and new niches will matter to one degree or another.
Ask yourself.. How much would Facebook be worth if they charges even $1 a month to run ad free..? (Yes, some people would still have joined but $190 billion worth?)
I'm not saying free is 100% the answer, but what I am saying is that; IMO it will be the changes in monetization of the content that will "save us".. Not new niches to exploit and market...
That's like saying higher $ CGI will save the movie industry...
