You're kinda glossing over the fact that in 2000 there were a lot less folks with computers and only a tiny fraction with a broadband internet connection. So more people were buying porn DVD's and/or magazines then.
That isn't the case today.
Nobody in their right mind is going to sneak down to an adult bookstore in a small town, pay $50 for a DVD, take a chance that their car will be seen and they will be recognized...Why would they, when from the comfort of their own home they can buy a membership for $29.99 and get hundreds if not thousands of scenes of EXACTLY what they want? Not what some company told them was "hot", but what the customer himself gets off on.
I know that for content shooters like yourself, this isn't the best situation. If you were still hungry to kick it in porn (I assume that you aren't because you've said a few times that you are almost semi-retired from it and did well enough to not have to work anymore), I would say that you would make 1000 times more money by shooting for your own paysite exclusively.
Just shoot the exact stuff that makes YOUR dick get hard because you will then give it all your knowledge, skill, and passion for that particular "niche".
Remember...there are over 6 billion people in this world and about half of us are men. So that's 3 billion plus guys that are potential customers. Only takes a couple of thousand of those guys to make you a lot of money every month.

OK you couldn't but a lot could in 2000. Have you ever tried to sell DVD of CM? Because to my knowledge big tit girls fucking DOES sell on DVD. Not 2000 prices but nice prices. 1,000s of of copies of a DVD title doing the rounds advertising CMs site, better than free. You get paid for these adverts.
If people don't go to porn stores, how do Vivid survive?
Stop thinking of all the sites that made it. Look at it from another POV. I saw loads of people who didn't. People in Vegas telling me they couldn't afford to pay $300 for exclusive, sites that were up and then gone. There were more failures than success stories.
From my POV going exclusive to shoot for my own site was a big gamble. Could of lost what I had built. Think of the other mans POV is all I'm saying.
