Actually, I think porn lasted so long because it's fun to watch people fucking, and it seems to me that with more societal acceptance comes a larger audience and larger revenues. Once adult entertainment was liberated from behind those counters and from behind those shaded windows, most notably by the Internet, profits increased. This is a perfect example of how accessbility is a paramount factor in any product's value, material or otherwise.
Following this logic, a free product is an incredibly accessible product, and so the distributors of that free product are in the position to make as much, or more money from it. Advertising is one such revenue-generating method, but with time and research I'm confident others will manifest.
As far as mainstream advertising is concerned, I feel that with an even greater acceptance of adult entertainment (perhaps through a highly accessible free product as mentioned above), mainstream advertisers will begin to consider adult entertainment as a viable medium for their products.
