the scammers have had a major negative effect on certain marketing models, notably:
1. tgp marketing has been rendered mostly ineffective
2. newsgroup postings have lost 50% of their effectiveness due to virus and trojan download risk which makes many people resistant to risk downloading jpg and mpg files.
3. popups and popunders have lost effectiveness due to anti-popup measures largely instituted because of aggressive smut marketing.
4. major search engines are now not indexing pages with redirects, excessive popups, dialers, etc.
the bottom line for the surfer is that it isn't so much fun anymore to chase porn on the internet.
and that does effect the bottom line.
