It isn't as profitable. There's no escape from the devaluation of the product which is drawing the surfer. Compare the revenue Pornhub makes now with what they would have made with the same traffic being sent to a relevant paysite in 1998. I'd estimate they are probably making 10 - 50 times less from that traffic now than they would have then by sending it to a paysite in 1998. You are going to have a hard time finding any comparable product to sell and still generate that revenue. It might have made Manwin/Brazzers bigger and more profitable but that's mainly because they weren't a major player a decade ago so they had nothing to lose and everything to gain. The big established companies who didn't jump on bandwagon to help devalue their products are often hurting now. It's mainly because their product is actually worth far less. They had much more to lose unlike companies like Manwin.
