So what was he giving them? No content what so ever and they were paying for it?

Traffic is always king. Without it, content means nothing other than space on a server being wasted. Traffic can also be used for many things. Product development, advertising, brokering, etc. Content is only good if you have the right traffic for it.
I'm talking purely in terms of paysite v traffic and for that traffic is only good if you have content. Then it's down to the quality of them both.

You gotta have traffic.
But for a paysite you got to have content. And what do you use to drive the traffic, stop it and convert it?
