Now let's look at every online business. They've all MASSIVELY changed in the past 20 years. In fact most have MASSIVELY changed in the past 2 to 5 years. Paysites can not continue as they are. They must change.

What will happen to paysites operating exactly as they always have is going to be a gradual decline. For some it will be rapid and for others it will be slow. But the decline will happen.

That i am 100% sure of. There is no magical comeback for the current version of what a "paysite" is.

I think there is potential for a new generation of paysite to evolve and come out from this. The reality is more people than ever before are consuming porn. Someone has to create and produce that porn and they have to be paid for the work. How to make it all work is the magic question.

Charging $34.99 a month for 5 updates a week is not the future of porn. That is the past. Now what is the future???
I used to say that the only way I'd ever want to own paysite would be if it was best in class at something. Because if it's not best in class why even bother. Now I'm not so sure I'd even want a best in class paysite. It's a such a boring, limited model way past it's expiration date.
