It's a new world, an ever-changing one, in life not just on the Internet. How you made money yesterday is not how you're making it today, and it won't be how you're making it tomorrow. Understand this, accept it, go through whatever stages of the grieving process you need to, then take a deep breath and realize it's a New Day. Can't stand the idea of "starting from scratch"? Then time to get out of Adult. You've had your fun here. Please trust me that, emotionally, you will be better off once you make a DECISION: carry on in this brave new (uncertain) online world or time to get out.

Once you go through this process of NOT lying to yourself but facing the Truth you will be able to more clearly think.

5. Focus on what makes you money, drop EVERYTHING else. Of course, if NOTHNG is making you money then it's time to find another profession. But if SOME things are still earning for you focus on that and drop everything that is holding you back. Maybe you built two dozen blogs or websites 3 years ago and are still working them while your traffic and ratios keep going down, down, down. STOP. Let it go (see #4). Just let it go. You're in the Paysite business but dating makes you more money. Go for the dating, let the Paysites die. You're promoting cams because you ALWAYS HAVE promoted cams; drop that shit if it isn't earning for you the way it used to, and promote the penis pills that are rocking for you. SWITCH.

It's hard to let go, especially when you've spent YEARS building. But you simply have to (eventually). Why not right now?
