The only way to adapt is not giving it totally free, as you probably know as you sell subscriptions, not give those for free. However, selling subscriptions is not the only way to make people "pay". But both cases includes making people to do something they don't want to do (pay). Both includes giving people what they want (but just not for free, in the end at least).

A bit complicated explanation, but I am quite sure you got it.
Yes I understand.

The irony: I have paysites people pay to subscribe to.

Thieves steal from me, what people pay for.

They then post it for free, attracting leechers, hoping the leacher will click their ads and BUY

There were a couple nuggets of advice others gave so far. In the end, any advertiser who wants to make money needs to provide a place that attracts spenders, not leechers. You then need to respect how they want to see your site/ad, and refer them to where they're expecting to go. Anything else is a waste of time.
