but it does not mean that only this 10% are left in the biz. there are a lot of new people in this biz today and as they did not start in paradise they learned from the start that money will not come alone.

I'd disagree with that. There's new affiliates coming in on the cams & dating side pretty strongly and even the pay sites side. I know of one guy who creates Snapchat accounts based around sponsor content, watermarks with his own domain (redirects to his aff link) and does very well for example.
I always use the transition from horse and buggy to gas-powered vehicle analogy. Transportation industry grew quite a lot after that switch - both market-size and industry size. I am sure a lot of the well known horse and buggy builders missed the train then, too, and bitched to their wife about how things used to be before that asshole Henry Ford came along and out-smarted + out-worked all of them. The smart ones transitioned and the younger generation moved in on the "new" side.
I would also note that companies like AdultForce and CrakRevenue focus quite a lot on inbound marketing for affiliate acquisition - whether at trade-shows (both adult & mainstream) or online.
