Your tubes are the biggest, so doesn't help adult webmasters much, unless I'm missing something.
Now the tube cat is out of the box, there's no way to put it back in, and the adult webmaster industry sees this and now it's a "me-too" deal as a last chance to survive and it's a race to see who can give away the most to get the most traffic. If you do it legally, that's fucking awesome, you are one step better than the illegal ones, but you still caused us small webmasters plenty of harm.

Sadly the situation has been the same from day 1. The race to put up more and more free content has got us nowhere. Because if 99% of the industry gave away 10 soft core pics, 1% thought it would be a good idea to give away 15.
Then everyone gave away 15. Destroying any advance for anyone.
Then 1% decide to go hard core. 99% followed. Destroying any advance for anyone.
Then 1% decided to give away 10 second video clips. 99% followed. Destroying any advance for anyone.
And so it went on and on and on. Ratios got worse and worse and the only thing that kept the house collapsing was more GOOD surfers coming online. When that leveled off the shit hit the fan and the decline came. Then BW dropped to a price so whole scenes could be given away for free and some did it.
All the time less and less people per 1,000 were buying.
Manwin will soon find they are going to suffer from the same problem. Someone with less overheads will start putting up more free content they they do, using the same DMCA safe harbor as they do and take their traffic.
How long before we see Manwin going after uploaders and downloaders only time will tell. And yes downloaders will have to be hit as well if the madness is to stop. They are also breaking the law and a threat.
They will also be hit with less and less people being conned into buying off their dating and penis enlargement ads. Again hurting their bottom line.

I don't think the industry has any image that can be harmed in this way, we are all just smut peddlers to them, not like people are going to boycott porn.

True. I was never invited to the meeting of the local Good Business Club.
