Most of the top 5 or even 10 cam sites was launched between 1997 and 2004 (even myfreecams is from 2004, even if took off in 2009 really). Chaturbate and Bongacams both launched in 2011 making these the newest (and latest) cam sites launched that didn't failed and took into top ranks. But, both chaturbate and bongacams owners previously ran other programs (adult dating etc.) so it was no new guys. In other words, no guys who are totally new to the adult industry launched a cam site that went well in the past, at least since 2005.
In other words, the 80% of cam sites market is in hands of the same dozen of people since 10 to 15 years with no significant changes, except that some that a couple that was in dating or paysites moved to cams.
New guys failed because launched cam sites investing less than $1M in media buying and marketing to models etc. You simply can't launch a cam site with $10k and every new failed cam site further verify that. Yet, no one with more than $10k is willing to launch a cam site since so many years.
Saturation: In mainstream, you have sure saturation, think at video games, that's sure saturated and sure hundreds of thousands of new video games are launched, all of which fail commercially. But unlike in adult, in mainstream you have investors and venture capital, that is funding million dollars to make new projects, some of which end up with a billion dollar value (see supercell for ex.). In adult, the only guys who got funded was manwin/pornub with some $300M fund they sold to teachers pensions or whatever, and see where pornhub is. Let anyone invest $100M to launch a new cam site (plus buy and merge a few of the smaller) and sure things would be shaked around, no matter the "saturation".
In adult cams we don't have saturation: we have new venture investment inactivity
