I will make you a bet that paysites will be around 20 years from now. Why? Because, in business, you need something to SELL. The tubes may partner with paysites (as some are doing now) but that is not the same as becoming or eliminating the content producers altogether (paysites).
Again, think cable tv. Sure, Fox produces its' own programming but also licenses it from other studios. But they do not 'buy out' and merge the studios or production companies. There are far too many of them. Tubes would have to buy out (or begin producing) thousands of niche paysites. Will never happen.
