Yep. The stuff that still sells is the stuff that brings something new or better. This can take many forms.
I agree with you that giving away content is what hurt this ind the most as a whole. But that is now how it's done. Content has become the loss leader to get surfers and then upsell them something else. Not saying nothing new here.
Soon as these new content laws went through where you are "innocent until proven guilty" and "user uploaded", guys said fuck it and thru everyone's full vids up. Happened around the same time as YouTube took off. Coincidence? Or lobbying?
So it's the govt passing those new laws that made it difficult to persue infringers and really set the whole thing on a downward slope to disaster. Think it was around 2006-7 when these laws changed.

But there is always a way to make a few $$. Work smarter not harder has always been and still is the best advice.
The secrets guys have are not that complicated but they had to try maybe 5 things to find one that works for THEM. This is not a get rich quick biz anymore for the most part.
The guys with solid longterm plans, who build something good, who work at them everyday, will emerge as the next moneymakers.
Adult WM is dead. Doorway pages, consoles, repetiton, ect ect is dead or dieing. It is building QUALITY sites, that meet a demand, where the future is.
