I think the adult internet porn industry is going to simply turn into television. All the shows are free, and they make money from commercials. There will still be "pay per view" and "pay for cable" (those rare niche sites and of course some cam sites) but the vast majority of it will be free television.

Advertising is the new adult game, not the porn itself.
Advertising might be the new adult game. But it's a very small game for a few. Selling Dating, Cam and Paysites off Tubes sites will never replace the money that was made from porn. I expect most small to medium Tube sites will be gone in a few years. If you don't have 1,000s of full length scenes you can't compete with those that do.

Plus pinning your future on big Dating and Cam sites is a risky business. They will open their own Tubes and then cut down on affiliates.
