Thus you have a large market of webmasters willing to take the guaranteed buck and just sell.

Blaming the traffic broker is the easy route out, when much of the time it is either the product that doesn't interest buyers, or the the sales pitch sucks. In porn's case it is the product. Free porn has devalued everybody's product. Why do you think porn clicks are worthless in comparison to mainstream clicks? Because nobody wants to buy your porn. Why in the fuck would a traffic broker guarantee ROI on a product that we all know is basically worth dirt to the consumer?
