It is no different in porn. You can get anything you want for free, but still people spend millions on paysites.

The thing is that all the money now goes to the big boys, so the 'affiliates' and small programs see business is dying because they stopped making money, but there are more people watching porn than ever. You just have to know how to convert them to paying users. Big companies, media buyers and traffic networks took over from affiliates. The money is still there, it just goes to different people than it did 10 years ago where an affiliate could make a gallery and make money. Times change, get with the program.
People watch a Hollywood movie or TV Show to be entertained. They consume porn to jerk off. They're 100% different to porn.

Yes, a few dominate the industry and they will be the last ones standing. The problem is they don't know how to convert people from free to paying if they did they would convert 1-100s, not 1-10,000s. They throw traffic and hope some will stick.

There is still some money to be made, but nowhere near the money that used to be made.

You are right times have changed and people need to get with the program. And that's not recorded porn paysites. They have run their course, just like porn mags and DVDs.
