So naturally, conversions are harder for a regular old site.

It wasn't the affiliates fault. It was the sponsors who created and funded the problem. People claiming the 199 consuming free porn would never buy, so the 1 who did buy was the win. Was bullshit. That's counting views not clicks.
Anyone comparing views to sales knows the truth.
The effect took a while for people to realise and it had to include the element of more free porn given away year by year. "Stealing" the content is an excuse we use. Stolen or bought the effect would have been the same, just slower.
