It's like this. A bunch of porn sites opened, and made mad money. Then they opened the affiliate systems, and a bunch of people started promoting porn sites. Then the big to medium sized affiliates started wondering why they were promoting other people's stuff, when it's not super hard to make a series of sites.

Instead of making one big good site, everyone made 50 sites in a "network" with mostly non-exclusive content, and their own cash program.

Now we have 2967208967091259125 paysites, and only a very small percentage of them really focus on their niche well, and purchase/produce exclusive stuff.

The surfers can hardly tell the difference between the exclusive and non-exclusive sites, and generally go towards the big players.

With the tubes, I just see the line being tightened even more, and the major sites like FTV girls still doing better than ever, while the big whorish networks are going to take a bit of a beating. People will want something different for their bucks going forward.
