Why people keep buying into this theory goes to show just how low the IQ in adult is. (no offense to O.P.)
I have talked with many content producers who costs of doing business is much higher than my own. The ad revenue and opportunities in adult is very limited. There are few companies who can bank roll ads like the mainstream online model.
The fact people buy into this, and keep talking about it is insane.
When content is free. People work for free. The internet will be free.
Until then. Go back to business and economics 101.
The other points mentioned are good, and what we have all been talking about for some time. Bravo.
