The thing about the Internet is no one can ever really tell what another website does, costs, etc. We can guesstimate but that's about it. Besides, who says all those thousands of "members" are legitimate (if we're talking in the millions in revenue). But that is another topic shhh. LOL
All I can say is this: If you wanted to start a paysite in 2015 and compete with the top paysites out there, and had enough of a budget, you could do so. But that isn't saying much. Why?
Because if you wanted to start a tube site in 2015 and wanted to compete with Pornhub, XHamster et al, regardless of budget you would have a tough time doing it. Paysites create content, which is why they are vital to this Industry. But which has more revenue (big tubes or big paysites) and which is an easier goal to achieve in 2015? I say paysites are more achieveable but it takes a lot of coin to get to the top status, and the profit margins must have shrunk from their high of 5-7 years ago.
So it's all relative, as they say.
