So what is the future? Interactive porn? VR? Sure - but like with 4K it will take a long time for the masses to accept it and become the norm. And still, in the end, it's just pics and videos (albeit extremely high end).
Either something is free or it isn't so how do we monetize it differently? Micro-payments? Pay-per-minute? Added value (bulk pricing)? ALL these ways and more exist now. No sorry, everyone says 'in the future things will be different..." but no one has any reasonable, practical ideas or solutions as to HOW thngs will be different. Let's face it: we have reached the limits of content delivery. Maybe robots or holograms will be the Next Big Thing.

Hard to not agree with this. Also, its not just layout/design/new marketing strategies. If your talking FREE sites, the MAIN problem is traffic period. Cant rely on google/organic traffic. Trading traffic has started to become less and less because of the quality/malware from ads etc. Worst part is the pop up blockers. No point to do free sites when 30-40% of your hard earned traffic is blocking your source of income.
No future change to this in sight. Yes, some people have figured ways around the pop up blockers but the amount of edits a webmaster has to do to make the code work consistently is another problem. WHAT HAS NOT BEEN SEEN OR DONE AT THIS POINT? That includes content shooting. I mean seriously. The past 5-7 years it seems the ideas/marketing strategies have stalled. I come from a very successful network of sites before I sold them and there is not much left unless you are well established and not many companies are anymore.
Only time will tell If a different model catches fire BUT everyones abandoning the sites that made them money which are tgps/mgps/trading sites etc with the thought that tubes is wheres its at because of the success of some tubes. If you look at the Tube model as a whole, there is NOT many successful tube sites at all. Costs are too much to compete with that model with little reward. As for the content/paysite problem solver, I have no idea. Something re-inventive would have to be seriously done to save the pay model for content now that everything is free and everything has been done. Technology seems to be the only future idea that could help with new ideas/content shooting. Is it VR? Is it 4k/5k/6k? Who knows. As of now, nothing new is on the horizon besides VR. If that isnt the problem solver, then adult is gonna keep being in a stalled state imo. You cant rely on SEO/organic traffic. It fails everytime. New update happens and boom its all gone. Just too unreliable to focus any money/time on it.
