This attitude is poor and is usually used when one does not have a dog in the fight or much to lose. I'm sure everyone who is a professional is desperately trying to keep their head above water already. You do not need to remind them.
You can not adapt to
free in this industry in terms of running a pay site. You can only die. Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not in 1 year. Maybe not in 2. But it will happen sooner or later if this trend continues. It will happen to the biggest and smartest of them.
I smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. I pay for them. If I was given the option to get the same brand of smokes for free, guess what I would do? I may even drive a little further to get them. Now lets deliver them to my home. I can pay to have them delivered, usually paying a little more for the convenience of it all, or I can have them delivered totally free.
Not only are they totally free, but my 14 year old son can get them too because they don't care how old they people are they give them too, unlike the store and unlike the company that makes you pay for deliver. So now my 14 year old son is now a smoker, but he will also be a life long smoker thanks to these free smokes delivered to our house daily. He will NEVER pay for smokes again in his life because he has grown up getting them for free.
This is a losing situation. It really is. Porn is a unique product and it has to be sold, not given away.
You can not outsmart free, none of you can. You can only hope laws are changed in your favor somewhere along the line and that the business model of free porn becomes less profitable for those running the sites, which will in turn result in less sites, much like the pay sites that are dying now.
