In the 16 years, I've been online paysites have evolved very little. The majority of changes were driven by Server-BW costs and Speed. The other was the quality of cameras. Pay $30 and get 30 days access to recorded porn of a certain niche/style. With the advent of Tubes, that model was doomed.
After 8 years of Tubes, the market is dominated by a few. Breaking their hold on surfers will be hard to impossible. And need a lot of money.
Webcams are going to the free/tips model and girls working independently. Allowing models to bypass the studio model, work from home and even drive their own traffic. The studio has huge costs, model, studio, traffic, site owner.
So where are the opportunities today?
In 1998, there were very few ways to get started without spending a lot of money and risk losing it.
