People used to start a paysite with affiliate program if they could send at least 10-15 sales a day to it with their own traffic.

Lately people think running a paysite is an easy way to make money ... they figure if they can't make sales, they'll just depend on other people to send traffic and make money from that.
Just to find out nobody really likes their paysite(s) enough to promote them, then they figure what's needed for webmasters to give them a try is to give high payouts just like the big programs.
A few months later they finally figure out that their paysite doesn't have what it takes to convert traffic, or to maintain a healthy recurring rate to justify the high payouts.
There's no money for updates, plugins and other monthly expenses, so they have to quit.
