A cam site popularity can fall quick if customers are upset for any reason: they pay and keep it all up. But, cam site business is not really going to fall if models/studios are fined a lot or missing support completely. What really matters to models/studios is how much they earn per month, and so the paying traffic to their specific performer's rooms. Admins sweetness or even % and unreasonable fines it is secondary.
Consider site1 where model/studio gets 30% and gets fined every day for anything, and no way to get any response from support except offenses or silence... but getting after % cut and fines, still $1000 a week. Then consider site2, where model studio gets 60%, no any fine, and admins who are super sweet and helping for everything, but getting just $10 a week. The model/studio will keep in site1, cursing it in forums, and abandon site2.
If you go to read the cam model/studios forums (the English or Romanian and Russian ones too), there are 30+ pages long complaints threads for each of the top cam sites, including MFC. Bigger the cam sites, slower and worst the support answers, and higher the fines, none of which is written in the ToS. Still those cam models and studios stay in these big cam sites, telling how bad these are, but not even trying smaller sweet cam sites, because after all, these got less paying customers (or supposedly so).
In the past 10+ years I seen lots of attempts from models/studios or sweet ex-members to setup new cam sites who are a "dream for models", giving big % payouts, super nice support and no any fine, and these all simply failed, without even getting nice reviews in the studios/models forums (perhaps an: "Don't trust new sites, let's wait a year or two before to try it"). There in forums, models/studios just talk bad of the big cam sites, and even of the sweet nice small sites without try them: "I think they have no traffic, I heard this, so I am not going to try it" or: "I been online for 2 hours and I got no private, that site is dead" (at same time, wishing to stay online days without getting a single private in the big sites, just because these are the big sites everyone is on, this way really supporting the big site whatever they do).
Someone may try to compare the cam sites market to mainstream ones, where the supply/demand and competition rules apply not only to final customers, but also on all the supply chain and partners areas i.e. studios/models. But this is not the case for a number of reasons: 1) No public people, VC's, banks etc. will invest in setting up new cam sites or just make existing ones better, this is online adult/pimping no one wants to officially touch, and leaving it to existing players; 2) No better business boureau, labour unions or even lawyers may want to be associated with patronizing and helping sex workers doing this better, the general consensus is sex workers should not exist, they should stop, and be all converted to the bible's or else morality; 3) The models/studios themselves are not into doing unions on their own (they mostly fight each other and keep in business for too short periods) or setup own cam sites: whoever done it, made a disaster or ended up as worst support and fines than existing cam sites.
