within all my advertisers there are just 2 that send a bit traffic to paysites because there are just a very few that are offering this options.

They can't fulfil those needs of the new aff generation because the payouts to affiliates aren't high enough.. that's the single reason. You can't raise the payouts (by much) because the product (paysites) has been devalued by theft and workarounds like dmca, and used as free inventory to sell products B,C, etc (pills, dating). You can't bid on a space that is giving you $40, $50, $60 per paysite join when you are bidding against placements that give out $70+ per pill sale. Which I think is one of the points being brought up - far from 'driving' porn, the ad space as it is now is killing porn - to a degree.
For paysite owners it's slightly different with regards to ad networks, as their LTV is a lot higher ofc (which you touched on in one of your earlier posts).
