There are tubes and large companies who finance paysite production. They have exclusive agreements with the mega-tubes. Therefore the tubes are spending more than a paysite not financed by a tube would spend. I know what an expensive, professional shoot costs and most small paysites doing 10 joins a day or less cannot compete on that level. So what we are left with is a handful of mega-paysites being financed by mega-tubes to keep the whole daisy chain of porn going. This will continue for years to come, I think, while smaller paysites will have to re-adjust their marketing and expectations because you simply cannot 'compete' with a Blacked or DDF if they are being financed by million dollar tubes.
Tubes with their own paysites are winning because they pay little to market the product and to affiliates. Those with special deals are the sites with great content bringing traffic to the tubes and making them stay.

Even sites with 100 sign ups a day couldn't afford decent content. By the time all the expenses and profit's removed there was little left to afford $1,000 for a decent solo girl scene. I lost count of the times someone said to me

Site owner "I want content like yours where the girls get into it."

Me "I shoot two of them a day, give me $2,000 for it."

Site owner "I can't afford that, I'll pay you $1,500 for 5 scenes"

Me "I can't shoot that because girls can't do it 5 times and I can earn $1,000 for one scene anyway."

So they ended up with a members area that people got tired of after a month and retention sucked.

That's my marketing skills coming out there.
