I do not think it is a single magic bullet, but more like a combination of the perfect storm....

1. Economy. Credit crunch.
2. Tube sites.
3. Shady business practices.
4. Surfers becoming more educated.
5. Overabundance of free porn.

As ratios slid, affiliates and programs thought the answer was more free porn. Add in 200 programs doing this, and you have flood gates opening, and burying the web with free and crossing your toes for a sale.

Eventually people realize they do not need to pay for mainstream hardcore any longer.
