Even if some cam sponsors kept the affiliate model, once they begin giving away more explicit content - and they will to remain competitive - it means lower overall sales, because at least some percentage of the buyers will satisfy themselves with fewer live shows.
Or put it this way: If a guy used to spend $25 a week at a cam spot in order to get interactivity AND graphic content, if he gets pseudo-interactive and graphic content for free there's no reason to suspect he'll continue to drop $25 a week. He'll continue to spend, but it won't be at the same levels, because at least some of his needs are taken care of at no $$ to him.

It's yet to be seen.
Regarding affiliate model... you have a point. If the site is just that good it will get the traffic.
However, I'm not sure about the $25 guy. I had the browser open for a long time yesterday and girls continuously got taken into private, groups, whatever. 10 tokens to 200 tokens were commonly tipped. Also, blocking the chat is a big deal, people want to chat... its the allure of the live cam girls. So these guys are forced to buy a min. of $20 in tokens. Now they chat and throw a tip and the girl gives him all the attention.
I like the concept... The best thing is when other sites pop up and try to offer more and more and it effects the buying, the girls will leave because they are not making enough.
The girls almost seem to keep the biz plan in check
